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..

I think it is beautiful and no one is going to think you are trying to compete with the bride.

Jay - at least 30/40% of the posters on here would be thinking that

That says a lot more about them than it does about the OP.

But it's also is then indicitative of what the guests will think. For me, yes, wearing your hair up with flowers and that outfit, is rather bridal/bridesmaidish , but if the op and the bride are happy, and she doesn't mind that half the guests will find it a bit odd, then she should go for it. I also think it's beautiful though,and with bright accessories and losing the bridal hair, I think it could work.

I’m confused by the “it’s not white” comment. It’s clearly white with splashes of black and grey.

Because bridal gowns are typically jumpsuits with black and grey accents.

Honestly, people are so weird!

I wouldn’t wear that for a wedding- too white

I'm of an age where jumpsuits scream "Challenge Anneka" but if you like it, why not?

And would you really change your plans because some random strangers said they hated it anyway?!

I like it op (and am jealous if you've got the figure to pull it off!).

It wouldn't occur to me to be offended if a guest turned up in that at my wedding, it might be a pale colour but it's nothing like a wedding dress.

Tbh I think even white dresses are fine provided they have a pattern or something. Both my mum and mil wore white dresses with a coloured pattern on them.

Personally, I don’t like it - but if you like it and bride doesn’t mind, go for it

How old are you OP?
it looks a bit old fashioned to me if I'm being honest.

I think it looks great. A lot of wedding appropriate attire is so 'mumsy'. I think I know the colour and I think it would be fine, especially as its not a solid block colour. Just to add I commented on the MIL in white lace lace thread. This is not the same at all. You will look fab

I think you need to try it on. Lots of those pale colours can be very difficult depending on your complexion. It also needs to be worn alone so if you put a pashmina or or jacket on, it could look very frumpy. It’s also polyester with a polyester lining so if it is a hot day, you will sweat horribly...

I think it will look better on than it does in the picture. I like it.
It's not 'Too white' at all. I've been to a wedding where the theme was black and white so lots of guests wore white but patterned outfits.

Love it. And the colour is fine. It looks in. I way like a wedding dress.

*in no way like a wedding dress

Think it’s lovely but too white for a wedding , even though I’m sure no one would mistake you for the bride

@hulahooper2 the wedding would have taken place almost 3 years ago now, this is a zombie thread.

I'm in camp that you don't wear white a wedding but I think your outfit has enough of a pattern on it to be fine. Now if it was a plain white or ivory jumpsuit then it would be a definite no from me.

If in doubt you could always change the sandals for something brighter with a matching clutch bag.

Just seen it is an old thread!

So nice and glam! I love it! Looks like it would be super flattering. Just check your back view in it..sometimes my bum looks enormous in jump suits even though I am only size 12. In saying that, big bottoms seem to be fashionable now anyway so take no notice of me!

@gingganggooleywotsit well it was 3 years ago!

Why the fuck was this resurrected?
