Wedding Guest Outfit - dress as a PRISONER?!

[TheLuckyMrsPine]

Please HELP!

Late October, all day wedding and reception. Am 5ft4” size 10.

Seriously what on earth can I wear?

Is it a comment on the institution of marriage?

How about a nice ball and chain?

One of the suffrage prisoners?

Grey tracksuit, that's what they actually wear in prison

If you really want to get into character though you will need some SPICE a really mini phone and a toothbrush razor knife thing ( I watch to much TV)

Prison makes me think jailhouse rock so plenty of scope for black and white horizontal stripes/black with white contrast stitching

Just a black and white striped dress? I think of black and white stripey clothes before orange jumpsuits.

Very weird though. Is it a Halloween wedding? Do you know other people going? Can you ask what they are wearing?

Definitely take inspiration from this lot!

I’d go as someone under house arrest and wear what I wanted. I’m sure if you google hard enough you’ll find a glam celeb who did house arrest instead of prison.

Alternatively you could glam up and do prison Chicago (the musical) style...that was set in a prison.

Wear a prisoner inspired outfit?
Black and white striped ballet style top (boden?) and a black skater skirt.
Chunky chain jewellery. maybe like this

Carry one of those handbags that looks like a ball and chain. I can't find a UK link. Black heels.

I'd be annoying as a guest and try to go in an outfit that could pass as normal guest. Juat incase I was the only one dressed up

I'm with whoever said grey tracksuit.

I kind of get themed weddings (star wars, Harry potter) if it's some fandom you're both really into AND you don't insist your guests dress up.

But this?? Baffled.

Wear what you like, with an ankle 'tag'?

Could you wear green and purple and go as an incarcerated suffragette?

Maybe even a nice skirt/trousers and a blouse with a green and purple sash over the top? That would still feel weddingy but would have a point...

This kind of thing with an ankle tag

Could you wear the orange jumpsuit with a think camisole/vest top underneath?

It seems an unfair theme for guests as everyone is likely to need to need to buy something & then never use it again

Get a diy biro tattoo in an obvious place?

Fluffy pink handcuffs.

This?

I got married in late October. People wore what they would wear to a summer/spring wedding just with a nice coat/jacket. It was 20 degrees.

Depending on how much I liked the person getting married I would either wear this exact outfit (from 1960s TV series The Prisoner) or I wouldn't go. No way would I ever wear a jump suit to a social event. Just no.

NL has a range of petite jumpsuits which might fit the bill and also your height as you dont want to be swamped. Go for something that you feel comfortable in, bring a neutral handbag but maybe put a piece of brown paper stuck to it, "Contraband".

If you get a jumpsuit of whatever colour, Assign yourself a category and a prison as that's obviously what they wear in that cat prison -

You have the confidence to pull this off, believe in yourself.

Get something you would be comfortable wearing on that occasion and other occasions as I don't believe in wearing things once only
