    I noticed in another fashion post that a few people were hatin' on rompers. Don't get me wrong - I'm not a big fan of ill-fitting monstrosities or terry-cloth rompers anywhere but, well, your pool deck. But I love me some rompers otherwise! 

    What's the consensus out there?

    I tried on some rompers at the Gap last weekend.  They were kind of cute actually... but I just couldn't bring myself to buy them.  I'm not really sure how much I would actually wear them.  (Also, I'm usually more classic and less trendy in my clothing choices.)

    I think they are super cute! I have been trying to find a flattering one though, and no luck! I have a short torso, and long legs and they just look frumpy on me :( but I will keep searching until I find a winner.

    I think that rompers are cute on only 1% of the people that wear them. The other 99% of the people should not be wearing them. I fall in the 99% category.

    I completely agree with noritake! Totally cute... on the right bod. Nicole Ritchie definitely pulls it off nicely. Man is she working it!

    <--- jealous!

    I think they are cute IF worn by the right person AND it's done tastefully.

    I wore those in the late seventies/early eighties and that will NEVER happen again.  And they are far less comfortable than they appear - they have a tendancy to ride up right where you do not want them to.

    I always thought they'd be impossible to pull off, but I found a plain black, cheap one at Forever 21 and thought I'd give it a try:

    It is super comfortable. The only thing is, it's annoying to go to the bathroom. I think it's all in the accessories and how you dress it up (I was wearing a long white sleeve shirt and gold gladiator sandals, btw). They are really cute!

    @ddubzz: Yours is sooooooooo cute!

    Personally, I would never wear them (not flattering) however I have seen some repro companies that make adorable 30's and 40's style ones but like I said, not built for my body type.

    I have one I bought last year and I love it! I am in my mid 30's and thought they might not look good on, but I think it is very flattering. It is a simple black one with short sleeves.

    I feel like you have to be very petite and/or slim to pull it off. I feel huge in it - not cute. ;p

    I think they're really cute....just not on me.  I've tried on a few and have yet to find one that was flattering.

    I love em and only wish I was teeny enough to pull one off! Although here they're called playsuits so I had no idea what we were talking about! LOL
