www.whistles.com/women/clothing/jumpsuits/philipa-jumpsuit.html?dwvar_philipa-jumpsuit_color=Grey#start=1 I'm a 14 large cleavage. Is it too casual?

I don't think it's right for a wedding at all.

I also think it wouldn't look out of place in a prison. Sorry!

Heels99 · 22/08/2014 10:43

Have you tried it on? As that style is very hard to get to fit. Yes could wear it to a wedding with the right accessories and a bit of colour and you would prob wear it again but whether it fits you is key

Heels99 · 22/08/2014 10:44

Avoidthe clodhopping shoes that the model has got on, agree with pp that is the prisoner look!

Onedropoflove · 22/08/2014 10:47

Ok I've changed my mind! The dresses all seem so short.

Oh no...it looks like mechanics attire! Sorry!

Onesleeptillwembley · 22/08/2014 11:05

This is the second industrial looking item I've seen linked on here in the last 10 mins. It's definitely not wedding wear, I can't really see it working anywhere, tbh.

BackforGood · 22/08/2014 11:25

I agree with everyone else.
Glad you've changed your mind.
There are lots of people on here who always link to some wonderful clothes when people ask them for help - do give an idea of budget though, as some of them are eyewateringly expensive. Others are fab though.

FamiliesShareGerms · 22/08/2014 11:33

I quite liked it and could see it working in a very trendy city wedding setting (not so much the country church or stately home)

More details on the do, your budget etc..?

SinglePringle · 22/08/2014 13:34

I have it and love it but I wear it to work.

Heels99 · 22/08/2014 15:33

Singlepringle, mechanic or prison?

SinglePringle · 22/08/2014 16:06

Neither - media related industry. You know, quite fashionable!

hellsbellsmelons · 22/08/2014 16:23

Oh Heels that made me LOL!

SinglePringle · 22/08/2014 17:52

Although I do accept not everyone could wear it. But at 5'8 and a size ten with a great arse and great tits, I do give it a damn good try Grin.

BackforGood · 22/08/2014 18:10

Fair play to SinglePringle for taking that in good humour, as I do confess to having a little snort at Heels's post Grin

mandy214 · 22/08/2014 18:12

No. I think if you are very slim and generally trendy (I.e have 'cool' haircut, accessorise it well and are wearing it to a quirky event or as Single says in a fashionista environment) you could probably carry it off, but I dont think its wedding attire at all.

LatteLoverLovesLattes · 22/08/2014 18:19

I have been to 3 weddings this year. One very picnic on the lawn, one very 'beautiful but inexpensive venue, lots of friends to help, but lovely and one very 'over the top hats and professional everything in an expensive venue' and that jumpsuit wouldn't have looked out of place at any of them if you look good in it. Wedding outfits aren't what they used to be!

Leviticus · 22/08/2014 18:23

'Wedding' outfits are generally awful. I 'd rather go prison chic - get it!

Singlepringle I bet you look grand in it with those stats.

SinglePringle · 22/08/2014 19:49

Thanks all! I wear it with hot pink suede stilettos and look rather bloody fabulous Grin!

Nerf · 22/08/2014 20:22

I love it (5'7 size ten bleach blonde) would wear with ironic white stilletoes, red clutch and definitely would go to a wedding in it. Love it.

OBface · 22/08/2014 22:03

Love a jumpsuit - if it suits you wear it.

Totally appropriate wedding attire.

peasandlove · 22/08/2014 22:30

I think if it looks awful on the model it's unlikely it's going to look good on you.

frankietwospots · 22/08/2014 22:36

Teamed with hot pink, that would look amazing.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 22/08/2014 22:39

Its a bit "Abnegation"

ElephantsNeverForgive · 22/08/2014 22:42

DD2 could, but she's 13 with dark blonde go with anything colouring and a gymnasts figure.

I'm not sure a grown woman, past the I hate dresses stage could.

Castlemilk · 23/08/2014 11:33

ONLY if you look amazing in it.

The slightest hint of lumpiness and you'll look as if you've been kitted up for a corporate tour around the boiler room.
