backless jumpsuit at 46? at a wedding?

[whymonty]

Please talk some sense to me?

I'm going to be mother of the groom at a marquee, sort of hippie wedding.

I am small with similar colouring to the model, but not at all pretty and quite boisterous.

Am I being ridiculous to consider this at my age?

Exactly! I love the navy jumpsuit mrs cambell - but navy is the bridesmaids colour - would I be ok wearing navy?

No, you'd normally avoid the bridesmaid's colour.

I don't think you can wear the same colour as the bridesmaids - I would have thought trousers and top or a floaty maxi dress?

They have lots of floaty/hippyish/floral dresses.
Some very expensive but lots of reasonable prices as well .
I like the jumpsuit , I think it could be very elegant in a Tilda Swinton sort of way with the right accessories but I do think backless is a no go for the service ( depending on style of wedding )

I like it but maybe not for mother of the groom. But as you say it's a hippie type wedding maybe it's not as formal as a church wedding?

Wow blue, I love the people jumpsuits- but I'm attracted to the don't touch my parrot romper - do you think there's a way to get rid of the clevage to the belly bit?

I think I I a plan - turn the backless jumpsuit into trousers and wear a plain fitted scoop neck 3/4 sleeve top in the green or pinky colours - I realised its the trouser part I like, that way I can be flexible and take into account the mother of the bride - are we meant to match? I'm very much lacking on wedding etiquette knowledge. Thank you style gurus for your honest advice.

Is it not going to be very awkward to go to the loo with not only a jumpsuit, but also with a top on top?

Or are you going to customise it and cut the top part off?

Just have to agree with everyone, having recently been a MOG. Definitely not suitable. And no to same colour as bridesmaids.
If you absolutely love the pattern having it made into trousers and wearing with a top could be OK, I guess - if you find the right top. I think personally a dress is much easier as there's no agonising about what to wear with what but trousers definitely could work for an occasion such as you describe.

Re MOB, no need to match - in fact not good to wear the same colour -just to tone generally/ not actually clash.

Yes - I'll have the top cut off! Its the trousers I love - thank you for your help on this - I would have been a numpty to be over exposed like that x

Looks bloody awesome.

If you love it and it will make you feel great do it! If worrying about how you look/ whether it's appropriate will detract from your enjoyment of the wedding, don't.

Personally, I would give zero shits about how appropriate or otherwise an outfit might be but you are clearly a bit uncertain so...

I really don't like the jumpsuit personally. I could imagine someone wearing it with excess flab hanging out the sides in the form of love handles. If you are really slight and have no excess fat, it may suit you. If you have an ounce...steer clear.

If your plan is to try to steal attention away from the bride, wear it. Otherwise go back to the drawing board.

Jesus
No
Just no

I take that back. I see you're going to wear the trouser part. Good plan.

Please no Feel free to wear it any other time but it just screams 'look at me' when the day should be about the Bride and Groom. If I was the bride, I'd be really annoyed that you were stealing my thunder.

Where is it from OP, I really like it.

Depending on your height and finding a good dressmaker / tailor you could have fabric taken from the legs and a panel put into the front or if no excess fabric you could have another colour ( pick out your favourite from the romper ) and have a panel sewn in .
They update with new styles all the time so keep checking the site

Was about to say what a lot of people already have - IMHO that is just far too much flesh to have on show at your son's wedding, regardless of your age. I think having it made into trousers would be fine though, or else can you choose some nice fabric and have a jumpsuit made for you maybe? I've never done it myself but I know lots of people who have had dresses made for them for special occasions.

My first thought isn't whether it's appropriate, and you've already made your decision about that, my first thought is what it's like to greet a person like that. Have you ever had your hand end up on someone flesh-exposed back when you've gone in for your hello? It's weirdly intimate and awkward.

Not a person like that, I mean a person in an outfit like that!
