The Nina Jumpsuit is a modern classic - elegant yet strong. This re-run of the original design is made from a tencel cotton blend which beautiful body and weight and a luxurious polished touch. It also has the 3% spandex for stretch that we all love in this design!
It looks great worn casually with flats, ankle boots and sneakers or just add heels and some bright jewellery for a bold evening outfit. It's also a very versatile investment piece that layers well over a long sleeved tee or fine knit in cool weather.
If you've never worn a jumpsuit before, then this is the one that will convert you with the flattering and comfortable fit! Much care has been taken to finesse the design with a professional Patternmaker so you won't encounter many of the usual issues of other jumpsuits like stringy straps, baggy shapeless waistlines or the dreaded centre seam that rides up in the most awkward of places!
· Bodice has tailored but not tight form with waist and bust darts for shape.
· Hugs the ribs but flows comfortably on the tummy with pleats at the top of the pants
· Scoop neckline and full straps.
· Relaxed, slightly tapered leg.
· 7/8 length falls mid calf to just above the ankle, depending on height, designed to have a little gap between the hem and the top of your shoe.
· Deep feature pockets.
· Zip back.
· Deep centre seam to avoid riding up.
If you already have one of our jumpsuits you'll notice a small design change from a single to an inverted double pleat at the back for a smooth flow over the bottom.

Handwash or gentle machine wash inside a washbag using mild phosphate free detergent inside a delicates bag. Hot iron or steam but no need if you dry it on a coat hanger. Do not tumble dry.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
There’s often confusion about what size to buy a jumpsuit because they are a top and bottom combined into one garment!
So if you are evenly proportioned, whether that’s straight up and down or hourglass, just go for your usual size.
If you have a bigger top half than lower half then choose the size you’d wear in a top or dress that accommodates the bust comfortably and the pants section will flow nicely.
If you have a bigger bottom than top then choose the same size you would in pants. It’s better to have a little extra room up top than feel restricted in the lower half.
Consistent with our other styles, so if you already have a piece of Ruby Raisin please select the same size. Average to generous sizing and running true to size as seen on a variety of body shapes, sizes and heights.
If you are extremely tall or have a very long torso and short legs, consider going up a size but most people are wearing their usual size.
First model is average height with bigger bust, wearing size 12. Second model is tall, with small bust and long limbs, wearing size 10 of a previous version made from linen. Third model is short-average height, evenly proportioned, wearing size 8 of the very first version, again in linen.
