Would this look alright for a wedding?

DD1 is getting married first week of September... beach side wedding in Cornwall (for context). I don't wear dresses. Ever. SO would feel horribly uncomfortable in one. DD2 suggested a nice playsuit.

I quite like this (I'm 5 ft 7 and a size 10-12) The bridesmaids are in Mint so don't want to clash horribly and I have no sense of style!

IS this ok? Any other links and suggestions welcomed!

Seems fine to me

thatsnotmypuppy · 19/05/2018 17:53

I think it is stylish and elegant.
The only comment is that navy is not very weddingy. Do they do it in any other colours?

CarpeVitam · 19/05/2018 17:56

It's stunning OP! And perfect for a weddingSmile

Went to a beach-y wedding the other weekend and about half the women there were wearing play suits. I was just so jealous that I hadn't worn one!
It's fabulous.

I like it a lot. Very stylish.

Stunning!! A lovely, modern MOTB outfit.

Lokide92 · 19/05/2018 18:11

Love it, and very envious of you being tall and slim enough to look fabulous in it!

sayhellotothelittlefella · 19/05/2018 18:12

It looks fab - loads of Navy at the royal wedding today. I love it. Where can I get one?

StillMedusa · 19/05/2018 18:42

I've just ordered it.. in a 12 so fingers crossed it fits! It's from Kaleidoscope. At least i should be able to get a bag and shoes easily being Navy :)

I thought this jumpsuit was lovely too. I feel inspired to wear a jumpsuit to the next wedding now 😊.

Assuming the jumpsuit looks ok... what sort of jacket do I need to throw over the top if it's chilly?

It's gorgeous! I would go for a different colour than navy for the accessories though. Depending on your colouring the following look gorgeous with navy, silver, orange, pink, coral..

thatsnotmypuppy · 20/05/2018 11:50

Hmm... you could go for a little jacket, cardi or even a pashmina would look lovely.

MrsCD67 · 20/05/2018 13:32

Really lovely!!!
If it were me, I'd probably buy a cream/white shawl and drape it over my shoulders

macnab · 20/05/2018 17:08

It's gorgeous. The model in the pic is wearing silver shoes (and a silver cuff) I think that would be a great colour for you to accessorize with. A nice big silver pashmina in case you want to cover up. Enjoy the day!

StillMedusa · 20/05/2018 18:39

Damn...it arrived today (impressed with that), it's beautiful.... and it doesn't fit. The bottom half does but the top half is too loose and hangs wrongly on me :(

Back to the drawing board... help!

Can you get the top half altered?
