To tell friend this outfit is inappropriate

Can I just say I am usually let people wear what the hell they want without criticism.

My friend has sent me a photo of her in a outfit for her brothers wedding. It is a white jumpsuit that is cut right down to the navel, she has big boobs so basically all that is covered is her nipples. I am guessing she must have some kind of body tape keeping it in place.
She doesn’t get on at all with sister in law to be so I think this might be to wind her up.
I have mentioned the colour and said you don’t wear white to a wedding but she has come back with it’s a jumpsuit and not a dress.
She is not going to come off well is she?

@swampytiggaa

My SIL wore a white trouser suit to our wedding. We were having a fairly low key wedding. Fortunately I’d gone for full length emerald green 😊
That's similar to what happened to me. One of my closest friends wore a white trouser suit to my wedding, but I had kept it a secret just incase this happened that I was wearing gold.

Kate wore yellow - yellow symbolises friendship. Completely appropriate.

Raquel Welch - I've yet to see a photo of her at that wedding where the most prominent thing isn't her cleavage.

AryaStarkWolf · 03/06/2021 16:23

YANBU but it really sounds like she already knows it's inappropriate and that's what she was aiming for..........she's just going to end up looking like an idiot though

@MarthaJonesPhone
that's an awful comment to make
Heaven forbid anyone wears yellow to a wedding, that's worse than practically announcing your pregnancy at somebody's wedding.

Mummapenguin20 · 03/06/2021 17:31

Wow why would she 🙈

marktayloruk · 03/06/2021 17:33

Wish I were coming to the wedding!

@scrambledcustard

If your good enough friends you should be able to say 'mate don't do it'.
This!

She already knows it’s inappropriate. She’s childish, rude, insulting, ‘all about me’ immature. I wouldn’t reply at all. No response can be very powerful sometimes.

LauraPearl · 03/06/2021 17:58

Generally, my rule is that if they have ASKED for my opinion, then I will give it. If she sent you the pic with a caption along the lines of "what do you think?" - then, by all means, tell her. I do think that deep down, she probably knows the outfit is inappropriate, so I'm not sure if her response would be "you're so right, I'll choose something else".

TinselTinsel · 03/06/2021 18:12

It sounds distasteful for a wedding bug that seems to be the point for her. If you're close then why beat around the bush , tell her she's making a show of herself and disrespectful .

lucie82 · 03/06/2021 18:14

Someone showed up at my wedding wearing white, I was not impressed, she then had the gall to blank me all night, now fair enough is never met her before but I mean come on I'm the one in the brides dress at the wedding how about a congratulations and thanks for inviting me! Oh she also looked like dough being squeezed at the seams 🤷‍♀️

Blankspace101 · 03/06/2021 18:19

I hope she does wear it. I can’t wait for the SIL to start a post on here about what a guest wore to her wedding GrinGrinGrin

SmokeyDevil · 03/06/2021 18:24

Well if she's daft enough to wear it, then she can go ahead and get laughed at. Her choice.

whatagirlwants · 03/06/2021 18:41

I would pretend that you think that she is saying that she is wearing it as a joke and say something along the lines of Good job your not really going to wear that and give everyone a good laugh. God your so funny. Send a pic of what you are really going to wear.

froggy1811 · 03/06/2021 18:45

Oh dear! She's going to make quite the spectacle of herself isn't she! Well, what can you do? Not much in my experience.

I have a friend who does things just like this, and these days I just think 'leave the idiot to make a tit of herself!' (No pun intended of course Wink) because she never listens to me anyway.

For the record, I think it's totally inappropriate; and all that she's really going to prove is A: that her sister in law has good judgment, and B: that she has no class! Sorry if I sound harsh towards your friend.

Bertiebiscuit · 03/06/2021 18:51

Tell her the truth - that her outfit is tacky and will spoil someone's important day which is not OK - if she's a true friend she will thank you for preventing her from showing what an ars*hole she can be - if she is angry with you for trying to save her from herself then maybe she isn't a person you want to be friends with - hell bent on ruining some poor innocent couples big day

dworky · 03/06/2021 18:54

Don't, it's no-one's business what someone else wears.

Diva66 · 03/06/2021 18:54

She’s behaving like a twat.

Feedingthebirds1 · 03/06/2021 19:00

Do you know her brother, the groom? Do you have his number? Can someone forward the photo to him for comment?

AnnieSnap · 03/06/2021 19:29

@HerMammy

When is the wedding? I’ll keep an eye out for her in the FB wedding shaming group 👀👀
There’s a Facebook wedding shaming group? 😳😂🤣
BlankTimes · 03/06/2021 19:44

I loved this scene from Derry Girls, maybe your friend will want to time her entrance like this too?

BlankTimes · 03/06/2021 19:45

Try that link again,

CambsAlways · 03/06/2021 19:59

She sounds a idiot, to be honest, she knows what she is doing obviously to wind up the bride, how childish is that, flashing her boobs at her brothers wedding, No Class! I’m sure there will be other guests who will agree, while I’m no prude I think she should have more respect

Ohhyeahright · 03/06/2021 20:04

Ooft

Mintsmints · 03/06/2021 20:22
