Could I get away with this for a summer wedding (guest)?

[Sadik]

Looking at the green & white option - from a shop called Wild Clouds which I think was a recommendation on a thread here a while back. Jumpsuit

I think the wedding will be quite smart, but I'm very much there as a plus one. It's DP's niece, & while I like her & fiancé very much, she was an adult when we got together, so I don't know them well.

Unhelpfully, I have a very nice summer party wear jumpsuit that would be just the ticket, but it's got a black background, & really not wedding appropriate. I don't go to that many smart dos, so would ideally like to find something that would be wearable as a more everyday option in the future.

As a fallback, I do have a rather dated but definitely wedding-appropriate dress that I could wear, from when I was an age when lots of my friends & relations were getting married. DP really doesn't like it though - I think probably because I (a) rarely wear smart clothes, and (b) almost never wear dresses. Not that he ever objects to my outfits, but since I'm going as his plus one, I'd quite like to wear something which didn't weird him out

God, it looks like pajamas.

Good idea.

This?

No.

I like the camouflage boilersuit in your OP and, going by your own hints, it suits your style. But I'm also guessing you're concerned about potential "didn't she have time to get dressed?" snickering from people you don't know well.

When I saw your black jumpsuit, I went "That!" at my computer, which didn't reply. It's not too black, it's sparkly and fitting for an Occasion.

If you're also worried about black-snickering - which I don't think happens in real life - then the tropical outfit from rock'n'rolla seems to fit the bill as:
appropriate summery print
not revealing with the bolero on (can take it off for the party)
still your kind of thing.

I like it as well, and it's clear it's not mass produced etc which in itself, almost implies an effort (to me anyway). I get what people are saying re pyjamas, but not with the right accessories.

@GreyWednesday youre quite right. In general, people can be very precious about wedding wear. For mine, I just wanted who I loved to show up. Someone wore white, someone wore low cut, someone wore black, someone was channelling The Queen. All fine.
As for the toddler, I took mine in Converse hi tops and a party dress to a very formal wedding . Who needs to buy uncomfortable ‘special’ shoes that won’t get used again.
I should say they were new, clean, embellished, converse not ratty old ones and we knew no one was likely to disapprove.

It looks good on the model in the second picture that you posted. In all the other pictures it looks like pyjamas. Think it would look good with heels.

The black jumpsuit is lovely and wedding appropriate. I’m afraid I don’t like any of your other suggestions including the dress you already have.

This. Minging pyjamas at that. My eyes!

Oh no I'm sorry but it's awful, I'm sure there are plenty of other options out there!

Your black jumpsuit is lovely. Ask the bride if she minds a bit of black, it’s clearly not a funerary dress.

I agree with this!

If you like dramatic prints how about some trousers from here? They also do tops in matching prints so you could get the jumpsuit look but have the versatility of separates.
Check the sizing though because their sizing is pretty correct so you may be 2 sizes bigger than elsewhere.

Hideous. Save yourself 80 quid and go in your pjs.

How about renting an outfit?

My thoughts

I love the way the models have to pose in playsuits the colour of snot, embellished with extruded brain matter, and try and fail to look they're the coolest thing ever.

No. You cannot go to a wedding in your pyjamas.

I think the wedding will be quite smart, but I'm very much there as a plus one.

So why would you think it appropriate to draw attention to yourself by going completely against the style of dress that everyone else will be wearing ?

Your black jumpsuit could definitely be made appropriate with some colourful earrings, bag and sandals.

I would have suggested Vinted if someone hadn't already.
Or I like your black jumpsuit, but maybe with a cream or beige linen jacket Iver the top (or one of the other lighter colours in the pattern) to lighten it and make it look a little more dressy, but I wouldn't says it's totally off limits.

Or I found this lovely blue linen suit from an ethical retailer, which I'm going to share despite the two top options, just because I like the colour so much!

Amber Butchart the very cool BBC clothing and textiles historian wore that green clouds jumpsuit to a wedding and looked amazing, she did accessorise it and wear it with little heels. It's good to be different and unconventional if you want to be! And wear what you like is what I think 💗

Thanks so much to all of those who've made helpful suggestions. I think the black jumpsuit could work, but I'd definitely need to find a cover-up for the top both for weather but also because it's backless/ no shoulders & it's a church wedding (CofE so no 'rules' but I would always cover shoulders/back in a church).

Alternatively, I'd discounted the dress below, again for black background, but actually I don't think it's any 'blacker' than the jumpsuit. Ignore the style, it doesn't look anything on the hanger but it fits me immaculately, & I've had loads of positive comments about it. I wear it a lot, but haven't worn it to anything with DPs family, so that's not an issue
(It needs a good steam & iron before wearing, ignore the creases!)

It's maxi length, just skims my ankles. But cotton rather than the jumpsuit's soft viscose so less 'dressy' maybe

I really like the green and white boiler suit! I like the idea of silver sandals and a silver belt.

Sorry if already suggested, but have you looked at Lucy and Yak? Similar price point and ethical and they have several cotton jumpsuit styles. They tend to be very well made and when new and ironed can look crisp and smart, but could then turn into a casual every day item after.
