Just added our new overall design onto the website. This year, we made a new, improved version of the jumpsuit's overall design. In this new design, we are using the Koi print fabric with the Kamon patchwork. Also, we added more fabric and an adjustable shoulder strap for easier fitting. There are pockets for your phone & wallet. The adjustable length from the shoulder to the ankle is from 56 inches to 62 inches approximately. The measurement armpit to armpit is about 25 inches. Elastic at leg opening and inseam is 24 inches. This new sizing will make it suitable for most adults. Hope you will like our new creations.
