Playsuit for a wedding

[Dancergirl]

I have a wedding to attend soon and am thinking of wearing a playsuit instead of a dress.

Has anyone seen any in the shops that might be suitable? Thanks.

What's a playsuit it sounds like something for toddlers. Is it shorts and top combination?

[Dancergirl]

No, all in one, like a short dress but with shorts. They can look quite stylish I think, Reiss had some nice ones last year.

Not suitable for a wedding MNers??

My very glamours teenage daughter wore one to a wedding recently and looked really good. All the caters kept offering her glasses of bubbly which pleased her greatly, given that she is well under 18.

Glamorous

Haven't seen any lately, but agree they look great for a wedding!
I got a nice khaki one in Topshop last year, and always get lots of compliments when I wear it

It sounds a bit like wearing a mini skirt to a wedding - a bit too revealing? Maybe I'm just out of touch though.

I think they can look great for a wedding, just as long as they're not short AND low cut. I've seen some lovely jumpsuits and am considering getting this one for a wedding. My friend has it and it's lovely, looks classy and is not too pricey.

Lady that's nice

There's loads of jump suits around that would be great, but I'm struggling to picture a playsuit that would be ok for a wedding unless it's an extremely casual beach wedding.

I've seen lots of guests wear short dresses to weddings (done it myself) so I don't think it should be a problem. A playsuit is less likely to compromise your modesty if there's a strong gust of wind!

[AngelicaSchuylerChurch]

I think a longer jumpsuit is more likely to be appropriate for most weddings, unless it's a particularly informal one.

[ladyratterley]

Thanks @mrsmozart I've just realised there's a 25% off Warehouse code with Grazia so I've decided I'm getting it now!

[Dancergirl]

I was thinking more playsuit than jumpsuit, I like my legs

But the Warehouse jumpsuit is very nice lady thanks for posting. Anyone know how their sizing comes up? I am usually a 12 but have boobs and often find things tight over the bust.

[Dancergirl]

Not too short, maybe mid-thigh?

[FrenchLavender]

Personally I would not go that short for a wedding. It's not really appropriate. Maybe for the evening party if there's an opportunity to get changed, but for the wedding itself mid thigh sounds a bit tacky.

[FrenchLavender]

I think just above the knee is short enough.

[OlennasWimple]

I wouldn't go that short for a wedding, unless I knew that others wouldl be similarly dressed or it would otherwise be deemed appropriate

(Lithe teenagers have a sort of exemption from the usual sartorial wedding rules)

[Dancergirl]

I meant for the evening do, not the ceremony.

[Dancergirl]

Says dress to party on the invitation.

[Dancergirl]

Ceremony is different day, sorry should I have said! It's just for the party.

[AngelicaSchuylerChurch]

Oh, so it's for an evening party? That's completely different, OP!

[FrenchLavender]

Evening party yes, go for it.

Thanks, any recommendations please?
