The colourful organic cotton jumpsuit is super comfy and lightweight
The vibrant postcard print is dominating the fashion world this summer, with various brands incorporating the bold design into their garments. Joanie Clothing is no exception, with the retailer using the stunning print in a colourful short sleeved jumpsuit that I fell in love with the moment I laid eyes on it.
What makes the Ithaca Postcard Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit different is that Joanie Clothing has used a vintage-inspired watercolour design that feels romantic and enchanting. The jumpsuit, which costs £79 and comes in sizes eight to 26, is made from a lightweight organic cotton with added stretch, making it perfect for the summer months for all-day wear.
The garment boasts a neat classic collar and cute button fastenings, with an extra concealed button inside the waistband that accentuates the waist for a flattering fit. The jumpsuit has a lined bodice and slightly cropped legs that help keep the wearer cool on warm days, plus it has handy side pockets.

As soon as the Ithaca Postcard Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit arrived on my doorstep, I went straight to my bedroom to try it on. The postcard pattern is even more beautiful in person; I immediately knew it was going to be one of my favourite garments of the summer.
I expected the garment to be slightly creased from its journey to me, but this wasn’t the case. When I first slipped into the jumpsuit, I noticed how lightweight and soft the fabric was. It felt super comfy, partly due to the elasticated channel at the back of the waist.

The organic cotton jumpsuit is perfect for the summer months.
I am 5’8″ and the size 14 fits me perfectly, with both the body and the legs being the desired length. The only downside to the jumpsuit was that there were a few loose pieces of thread hanging off the button holes and the stitching around the collar, but this was easily fixable by trimming them with scissors.
Other retailers who have incorporated the postcard print into their garments include New Look and Next. New Look’s White Postcard Print Wide Leg Trousers cost £29.99 and are available in sizes six to 18, while Next’s White Postcard Print 100% Cotton Square Neck A-Line Midi Dress is priced at £48 and comes in sizes ranging from six to 22.
I waited to wear the Ithaca Postcard Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit on a sunny day when it would keep me nice and cool and the colours would truly pop. During the last heatwave that graced the UK, I wore it for lunch at a seafront pub with a pair of lilac platform converse where it proved to be the perfect outfit choice.
Despite the pub having all of the windows and doors open, it was still pretty warm, but the jumpsuit kept me cool. Because it’s so comfy, I happily sat for hours with no discomfort, even after devouring my meal.
I’m going on holiday to Portugal soon, and the jumpsuit is going to be coming with me. I’ll more than likely wear it with a pair of sandals to travel in due to it being so comfy, and then I will wear it for an evening of al fresco dining overlooking the Atlantic ocean.
It seems I’m not the only person who is obsessed with the Ithaca Postcard Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit, as it boasts an impressive five-star rating on the Joanie Clothing website. One delighted buyer wrote: “Love this jumpsuit. The watercolour print is beautiful, the material is quality and it fits like a dream. Would 100% recommend.”
Someone else commented: “Love this item, looks fab, fits perfectly with room around the middle. I bought my usual size, I’m a 34G bust and it fitted perfectly at the top with no gaping. I’m going to wear it for an evening do at a wedding and it will be great for holidays. Very comfortable.”
It’s worth noting, however, that one shopper had to size up, as they explained: “Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The print is beautiful. I went up a size otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get it on and off, as I’m big busted and a big girl. It looks so gorgeous on and I can’t wait to wear it out. Highly recommended.”
