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?

Absolutely no. No. No. No.

No.

Would your future daughter in law look at you like this? If so, don't wear it!

How about something like

That karen Millen is nice - you could cover up with a jacket during the day then take it off to party in the evening?

fattascals why would anyone care about what someone else was wearing? So shallow!

I love seeing people wearing things that make them feel great. Whatever the hell those things might be.

Tho reading the rest of this thread I see the point is to be judgmental so...

I love it. I think it is hippyish and original and flowery and lovely. Hope you and all of your family have a wonderful day whatever happens.

The point - certainly as far as I'm concerned - isn't to judge others - but to try to look at it from the PoV of the bride - the OP's future daughter in law - who might justifiably feel a bit upstaged on her special day by such a 'look at me' outfit. And from the PoV of her DS who might be embarrassed /annoyed on his partner's behalf.

No, I get that - but you're all imagining that they will care about what the OP wears (beyond wanting her to feel comfortable and enjoy herself).

I don't think the point of this thread is to judge, but to advise. IMHO, (as a random stranger on the internet), if anyone showed up at a wedding, especially a MOG, in an outfit revealing that much flesh, it would come across as attention seeking to some of the other guests and distasteful to others. The OP seems like a very nice woman who I'm sure doesn't want to steal the limelight or be disruptive to the solemnity of the occasion or anything like that. However, if you ask my opinion (as the OP did by posting), then I think a lot of people would assume she was looking for more than her fair share of attention at her son's wedding.

Re not caring what other people wear in general, YY I agree completely... to a point, though its only natural that I tend to dress as my friends and close acquaintances do and also that my friends have similar taste and values to my own. Would it be a life altering, friendship ending thing if one of them (or my MIL) rocked up to my wedding in something quite revealing? Of course not, but I would be surprised and a bit like this ... but not iykwim.

age not relevant but there's fakery going on. The model is wearing a pushup bra in the face front photo, and has taken it off for the back view. She hasn't quite twisted round enough to conceal this.

so it is unwearable unless you don't need a bra.

I think it's a lovely jumpsuit and you should wear it if you feel good in it.
