Sequin playsuit

It's a big birthday party for a friend. I'm short, bit of a tummy, decent legs, size 14ish.
Is this outfit freakish or fabulous? And what shoes does it need?

MY EYES! MY EYES!!!!

It’s not nice, no Grin

CurbsideProphet · 06/06/2019 23:07

For real? Hmm

Pipandmum · 06/06/2019 23:09

Sorry looks like something from the disco era fancy dress party.

DuffBeer · 06/06/2019 23:09

Hideous.

iklboo · 06/06/2019 23:09

It's like the love child of Mr Motivator and a disco ball.

BadnessInTheFolds · 06/06/2019 23:11

I mean I sort of fucking love it!
But I am similar build and I wouldn't wear it, sorry!

Equally if you love it then go enjoy it 😊

DuffBeer · 06/06/2019 23:11

Some things should have never been invented. Sequin playsuits fall into that category. Even the model can't pull it off!

Racheyg · 06/06/2019 23:13

I wore something similar to
My hen party last year to kisstory on the common.

I love it but I guess it's not to everyone's cuppa tea

averylongtimeago · 06/06/2019 23:13

Don't do it OP, just don't.

JeSuisPrest · 06/06/2019 23:14

I think it would be very noisy to wear - if you get on the dancefloor you'll sound like a maraca.

Oomph · 06/06/2019 23:15

Psychedelic armadillo costume. Don’t do it!

Doyoumind · 06/06/2019 23:17

It reminds me of this from Twitter.

Here is a picture of me in mine. Tbh I didn't wear it again and I threw it away, but was great for the occasion

Taylor's is nicer. Think it's the colours. She's an international pop star though, so it's not that out there for her. Don't suppose you're hugely famous?

It’s the type of outfit I would expect Gemma from Coronation Street to wear......

No, nor do I have Taylor's proportions. It's for a massive birthday bash filled with super successful media types. I always feel
Invisible and frumpy compared to them...

Doyoumind · 06/06/2019 23:29

I wouldn't even If I had a body like Taylor.

stillnotjustamummy · 06/06/2019 23:31

RacheyG I love yours! They only have this colourway in my size other than black... and I think the black is a cop-out... if you are going to wear a sequin playsuit, then surely it should be ultra OTT... but I'm afraid of looking like a fool...

I've never noticed this topic before on mn.

I'm never coming here again!Shock

Have you tried it on OP? How did you feel in it?
I always think it depends whether you'll spend the whole night questioning if you should have worn it (and therefore not enjoy yourself) or whether you'll embrace the sparkles and have a great night!

dropletsofrain · 07/06/2019 07:01

Oh I love sequins! Maybe not that colour though, but in general yes!

SisterMaryLoquacious · 07/06/2019 07:13

I think it’s entertainingly mad. If that fits with your personal brand, and if other people at the party are also going to go all out then, yeah, maybe. Definitely worth trying on to see how it works on you - you might find that it’s impossible because of body length.

Plainish whitish trainers would be fine - you don’t need to add sparkly heels.

WoahThereMama · 07/06/2019 07:19

Dress Like A Mum was wearing this (or something similar) on her Insta yesterday. It’s not an aspirational look imo Grin

Racheyg · 07/06/2019 07:41

@stillnotjustamummy
Have you got time to search for some more outfits that are similar?

This was from missguided last year. And I'm defo not Taylor swift size. I got lots of compliments but maybe that was the atmosphere of the day? Or people were laughing behind my back 😂

If it's sequins
