AIBU to ask opinions on this outfit..

[QueenArnica]

BIL’s wedding in August, dh is best man, dd (14) bridesmaid and ds (11) an usher.

It won’t be super formal but I wanted something different to just a normal dress. Would wear hair in a messy side bun with a flower probably and have ordered a pair of gorgeous matching heels.

Opinions please lovely mumsnetters..

Lovely for someone tall and slim enough to carry it off, but I couldn't bear the thought of having to almost entirely disrobe every time you need to pee. Especially when worn to an event where alcohol is involved (I swear I have to have a pee for every unit of alcohol I drink).

Would you have a wrap or something for later on? You couldn't really get a jacket over those sleeves.

I second the suggestion of grey or silver shoes, too. Nicer than the nude with those colours.

Nah, definitely don't get it after looking at the full link.

Never mind the colour- you can see from the pic at the back it's just gonna go right up your bum crack the second you start walking around. Never a good look.

There's a reason culottes went out of fashion- and that's because they make your arse look strange.

Looks too white

Just because the bride was polite enough to say it is Ok, doesn't mean it is. If it is as pale/ white looking as it appears here, people will be talking about you and judging you.

I cannot believe the comments about the outfit. It looks nothing like a bridal gown or a bride wannabe outfit. I read another thread some time back and a patterned dress with a white background was deemed fine. It does obviously it depends who responds.

I agree with CandiedPeach about going for brightly coloured shoes. It seems to be the fashion to mismatch this season and still look co ordinated. So the blue shoes with another colour flower for example.

Think it looks fab and with nice bright coloured accessories, will be lovely for an August wedding.

Don't 'people' really have anything better to do at weddings than talk about a guest in a pale-coloured, patterned jumpsuit?

My MIL turned up to mine in an outfit the same colour as my dress (not white)! Not nastily, but naively. I couldn't have cared less. Nobody was going to mistake her for me

It's lovely. Next time, avoid AIBU and post in style and beauty- it attracts fewer meanies.

I think it's lovely. I'd go for silver/ grey shoes though, or something bright like a coral.

I don't like it, but I'm loving all the "it's too white" replies.

My MIL wore a white dress with an orange pattern, as did another guest.

No veil or bouquet though, luckily!

Surely it applies to an outfit that it obviously bridal?

Love it - quite oriental - think that a heavier sandal - wedge or mule would look much more stylish / in keeping to sort of "anchor" the outfit. Also as others have said a flash/pop of colour (coral?) would look great.

I think it’s beautiful and if it’s tall and slim you’ll look lovely. I would have been a bit anxious about the colour though but if the bride is ok I’m sure you’ll be fine. I speak as someone though that wore a black and white dress to a wedding when I was younger and cringe a bit at the photos as in hindsight it was probably on the edge of acceptable.

It's lovely but it's too close to white for a wedding. I know you've checked with the bride but other guests will be talking about you wearing near white. If you do do it then be very colourful with accessories!

It’s very pretty but because there seems to be a thing about not wearing anything even vaguely ‘white’ (just learning this from MM after 60 years on the planet) I might run it past the bride before committing. Don’t think anyone would have given two hoots in my day and only an idiot would mistake someone in a jumpsuit for the bride but apparently it’s now bad form.

Photos on website on model look much more flattering than the ones on hanger.

The colour wouldn’t bother me at all, I don’t understand these comments. However, the outfit will not look good unless you are a size 8 and 6 feet tall. And a messy side bun with a flower sounds just awful, sorry.

Sorry x posted, if bride’s ok with it that’s all that matters.

Have to see it on.

Jumpsuits are weird and look good on very few people.

Also stripping the whole thing down to go to the loo and have it resting on the loo floor unless you keep hold of it.

It's lovely op. And not too bridal at all. I had people at my wedding in cream etc and I could not have cared less! My only concern is to get someone honest to check your rear view; half the time jump suits are awfully unflattering on bottoms.

Lovely, do wear it.

It's alright I guess. If you're very tall and slim it would do for drinks after work but definitely not for a wedding.

Too casual and too white.

Isn't it too patterned to be "white"?

No wonder AIBU has such a lot of traffic if people are so easily incensed! That outfit doesn't look even remotely bridal, especially with red shoes and bag.

I'd be more concerned about going to the loo and how well it fits.

@MrsT4, if it's not your first baby you'll probably have thought of this, but in case it isn't/you haven't - and apols in advance if this is TMI - if the baby is late you might still be bleeding heavily at that stage. I wouldn't have wanted to wear something as light coloured and clingy as this while still using my heavy duty maternity pads and granny pants to hold them in. As you say, the mum tum is another thing to consider.

Nice outfit but is it appropriate to wear white?

I do not usually like jumpsuits, but I think that one is lovely, and if you are tall and slim it will look lovely on you.

My only concern is that it might be too hot for August?

Laughing at the 'too white', 'too desperate' 'too quick to get an answer from the bride' posts.... really?
