www.whistles.com/women/clothing/jumpsuits/philipa-jumpsuit.html?dwvar_philipa-jumpsuit_color=Grey#start=1 I'm a 14 large cleavage. Is it too casual?

I don't think it's right for a wedding at all.

I also think it wouldn't look out of place in a prison. Sorry!

Have you tried it on? As that style is very hard to get to fit. Yes could wear it to a wedding with the right accessories and a bit of colour and you would prob wear it again but whether it fits you is key

Avoidthe clodhopping shoes that the model has got on, agree with pp that is the prisoner look!

Ok I've changed my mind! The dresses all seem so short.

This is the second industrial looking item I've seen linked on here in the last 10 mins. It's definitely not wedding wear, I can't really see it working anywhere, tbh.

I agree with everyone else.
Glad you've changed your mind.
There are lots of people on here who always link to some wonderful clothes when people ask them for help - do give an idea of budget though, as some of them are eyewateringly expensive. Others are fab though.

I quite liked it and could see it working in a very trendy city wedding setting (not so much the country church or stately home)

More details on the do, your budget etc..?

I have it and love it but I wear it to work.

Singlepringle, mechanic or prison?

Neither - media related industry. You know, quite fashionable!

Although I do accept not everyone could wear it. But at 5'8 and a size ten with a great arse and great tits, I do give it a damn good try Grin.

Fair play to SinglePringle for taking that in good humour, as I do confess to having a little snort at Heels's post Grin

No. I think if you are very slim and generally trendy (I.e have 'cool' haircut, accessorise it well and are wearing it to a quirky event or as Single says in a fashionista environment) you could probably carry it off, but I dont think its wedding attire at all.

I have been to 3 weddings this year. One very picnic on the lawn, one very 'beautiful but inexpensive venue, lots of friends to help, but lovely and one very 'over the top hats and professional everything in an expensive venue' and that jumpsuit wouldn't have looked out of place at any of them if you look good in it. Wedding outfits aren't what they used to be!

'Wedding' outfits are generally awful. I 'd rather go prison chic - get it!

Singlepringle I bet you look grand in it with those stats.

Thanks all! I wear it with hot pink suede stilettos and look rather bloody fabulous Grin!

I love it (5'7 size ten bleach blonde) would wear with ironic white stilletoes, red clutch and definitely would go to a wedding in it. Love it.

Love a jumpsuit - if it suits you wear it.

Totally appropriate wedding attire.

I think if it looks awful on the model it's unlikely it's going to look good on you.

Teamed with hot pink, that would look amazing.

DD2 could, but she's 13 with dark blonde go with anything colouring and a gymnasts figure.

I'm not sure a grown woman, past the I hate dresses stage could.

ONLY if you look amazing in it.

The slightest hint of lumpiness and you'll look as if you've been kitted up for a corporate tour around the boiler room.
