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?

Oh it's hideous! Let her wear it and get what she deserves Grin

Legoninjago1 · 02/06/2021 21:57

Oh my goodness! Please - you have to come back and update us after the big day! Smile

GeorgeTheFirst · 02/06/2021 22:04

That is hilariously bad

Jumpingintosummer · 02/06/2021 22:09

Sister of the groom or not my parents would have asked her to leave. Weddings are family events, her outfit is more playboy mansion!

Some people are just dim. A cousin of mine wore a white dress to her brothers wedding when he specifically asked her not too. Her response was she couldn't find anything else. Couldn't understand why she wasn't in any of the photos.

Gilly12345 · 02/06/2021 22:10

I would let her get on with it, she sounds like she is just out to cause trouble.

Enough4me · 02/06/2021 22:11

You were right to be honest, but she'll have to deal with the comments if she doesn't listen to you and others and wears it.

One if my cousins wore a bright red crop top to my wedding and let her toddler babble through the service, which I ignored, but if she turned up to wedding in the outfit you describe I'd have asked her to leave.

RikkiTikkiTavvi · 02/06/2021 22:12

She’s going to make a complete tit of herself. Literally.
Thank god the bride is likely to laugh it off, but your friend is going to find this backfires on her, big time.

PlumpAndDeliciousFatcat · 02/06/2021 22:12

@Mintsmints

She has texted back saying fuck off

Ok then..... obviously I had to say it was gorgeous and everyone will fall at her feet in worship and the bride will be outshone.

She sounds awful. Why are you friends with her?
MissM2912 · 02/06/2021 22:14

It is so tacky. Is she single?

Honeyroar · 02/06/2021 22:15

Is the wedding soon?

tillyandmilly · 02/06/2021 22:15

that outfit is repulsive - sorry - its tacky, cheap and only fit for going to a nightclub if that -

HollowTalk · 02/06/2021 22:16

She's so pathetic. She might as well have a placard saying, "Don't look at the bride, look at me"

youvegottenminuteslynn · 02/06/2021 22:17

She sounds horrible tbh. If she is even remotely like this (selfish, rude etc) normally, I can't see why you'd want to be friends with her so no huge loss!

TheHateIsNotGood · 02/06/2021 22:18

Well it might look quite lovely with a contrasting colour blouson, bag and shoes with attention seeking accessories?

If she can manage to cover her boobs for the Ceremony and show em orf for the Reception?

BruceAndNosh · 02/06/2021 22:22

She'll look a right tit.
And a left tit.

2pinkginsplease · 02/06/2021 22:23

I can guarantee her sister or a friend of the bride will ‘accidentally’ spill their drink on her.

I detest my brothers wife but I wouldn’t lower myself to that crap of trying to outshine her on her wedding day! 😂😂😂

Zzelda · 02/06/2021 22:24

@Finfintytint

Let women wear what they want without criticism. If she likes it and feels comfortable then so what? Some people like to seek attention so let her crack on.
I doubt she feels comfortable; in fact I doubt she likes it, she's only planning on wearing it to piss off the bride.
katy1213 · 02/06/2021 22:25

Tell her she's letting her family down - because, without exception, the bride's side are going to be thinking 'common as muck.' She clearly is - but it's hardly fair on her brother.

SunshineCake · 02/06/2021 22:26

Oh dear

Unsure33 · 02/06/2021 22:26

I know someone that wore a long white dress to her sons wedding . She did ask the bride and she was fine about it . However everyone who looked at the photos drew an intake of breath . And it was not low cut or anything.

MagnificentBottom · 02/06/2021 22:27

That’s really not ok to wear to a wedding - or anywhere really

dudsville · 02/06/2021 22:29

Yes, its a terrible choice, but your friend has her own path and clearly has some issues she needs to work out. You can share your thoughts but that's it.

Lumene · 02/06/2021 22:29
Shock

That is totally inappropriate for a wedding in any colour.

nocoolnamesleft · 02/06/2021 22:31

Well, if you really want to stop her, post the actual photo. If it shows as much boob as you say, then the odds of the thread ending up in a tabloid or two would be high... Though she would obviously never speak to you again.
