Is this jumpsuit too ‘sexy’ for a wedding

Please help!
I’m 32 weeks pregnant and struggling on what to wear to a wedding this weekend!
Ive bought the attached jumpsuit and I love it on me, feel confident and comfortable.

my issue is that it hugs my bump very well and it’s pink, do you think it will look like I’m trying to show off my bump too much?
I don’t like being the centre of attention and certainly don’t want to up stage the bride.

The wedding is one of my boyfriend’s friends and my boyfriend is best man. So whilst I know people there, it’s not like they are my direct friends as such.
I worry people will talk about me as if I’m trying to show off.
Or I could be completely overthinking it!
How much do you think I should ‘show’ my bump?
is it too sexy?

OP I think it screams “look at me, ask me how many weeks I am”. So I wouldn’t wear it. But if you really want to wear it, I’d suggest toning it down with a dark coloured jacket or cardigan that comes below your bump.

And before anyone starts jumping up and down saying “she shouldn’t hide her bump, she should be comfortable etc etc” - this is a wedding, not a generic night out. The bride will no doubt have spent months planning her day, trying to look her best. The last thing she’d want is everyone oohing and ahhing at the radiant pregnant woman in the hot pink jumpsuit!

I think this a really sad and pathetic outlook.

I'd be more than happy if one of my friends was living their best life, in a hot pink jumpsuit being oohed and ahhed over at my wedding. Fortunately I don't have low self esteem so someone else receiving all of 10 minutes of attention at my wedding wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I see we’re still acting as if the OP has asked “Is this appropriate for a wedding?” and has attached a photo of a cathedral veil and tiara…

Snippit · 12/04/2024 21:28

From your description I thought the worst, that was before I clicked on the link. I think it’s beautiful, wear it with a jacket and the shoes and handbag will make a difference to the look as well.

I jazzed up a black dress with a bright pink shrug. Perhaps you could do the reverse and have a black jacket to look really smart, or even navy? With some gold shoes and bag, have a look on Shein, I got some beauties last year for a wedding, not bright gold, they were lovely with a block heel for comfort.

You’ll look lovely and enjoy the day, 🤗

Yeah, wear a large burlap sack and accessorise with an unobtrusive fascinator, you attention-seeking pregnant hussy with your ‘Bump of Up-staging the Bride on her Special Day’ strategy.

I think it looks nice, and not showy but smart and stylish from my point of view.
When you first mentioned it, I was imagining it like the bright pink figure/bump hugging bodycon maternity dress that I've worn recently, but from the link that you posted, I think this looks very classy and conservative. Love the colour too. (Hence my dress in a similar shade of pink. LOL)
I think it's good to wear cheerful colours at a wedding. I think only wearing white to a wedding (unless you're the bride) would upstage the bride.
Go for it, I personally like that trousersuit and think it's good for the wedding :)

Confusgurl · 10/04/2024 23:29

Yes I think this is more what I was getting at thank you. Wondering if I need to “play down” my bump really!
that’s all I meant about ‘upstaging’, not that I think I will look better then a bride in my £7 jumpsuit 😂🙈

£7? What a bargain!
I'd love to try something like that next time I'm pregnant, as I prefer trousers to dresses/skirts. But struggled to keep maternity trousers up. Hence getting dresses and stretchy leggings.
But that looks and sounds fab! Especially as you've said that it's easy for toilet breaks too.
And I'm sure you'll look lovely in it.
Like you've said, it's comfortable and makes you feel confident, I say it's a winner :)

Miss Piggy is exactly the look I’m going for!
I’m not sure what body shape you’ve encountered or even experienced yourself when pregnant but what a ridiculous thing to say to someone who’s carrying a child.
Im sure you yourself are a glowing beauty standard to make such stupid remarks.

Its ridiculous to post if you don’t want to hear what people think.

Every heavily pregnant person I have ever encountered has had a rotund belly!

I don’t think that bright pink is a flattering colour for that shape - especially when it is also wrapping in around the thighs and camel toe area. I’m actually struggling to think of anything less flattering.

And yes pink and portly makes me think of Miss Piggy.

Smallyeti · 12/04/2024 23:22

I like the. Jumpsuit and I’d not worry about it showing your bump. It’s the colour I don’t like. It’s a bit cheap imo. I’d love it in navy, black, royal blue, olive, deep tan. But it’s a bit bubblegummy looking shade.

albaalba351 · 13/04/2024 00:07

Make sure you wear appropriate knickers aka seamless thong etc. I saw a woman at a wedding wearing a similar jumpsuit and she had the most severe VPL I have ever seen! It was so awkward.

Imisssleep2 · 13/04/2024 06:22

You feel comfortable and confident in it, go for it. I don't think at 32 weeks there is much hiding the bump, it will be fine.

A friend of mine was 37 weeks at my wedding and wore a floral maxi dress, bump obviously there, I never felt threatened by it, your just over thinking it prob from hormones

YenneferOfBattenberg · 13/04/2024 06:42

God, people are horrible.

If you like it and feel comfortable, then wear it OP and enjoy the wedding (as much as possible at 32 weeks pregnant!). I think you will look lovely and why not show off your lovely bump FFS? It's not like you're wearing a swimming costume with a circle cut out for your bump to poke through and painting a face on it with the belly button as the nose...

I can't believe you have received so many unpleasant responses on here. A lot of insecure people projecting onto you, typical mumsnet pearl-clutching prudes, and general miserable fuckers who take no joy in life and don't want anyone else to either I think.

Hope you have a fabulous time and kudos to you for being able to wear heels during the third trimester. I can barely manage when I'm not pregnant! 😆

SoundTheSirens · 13/04/2024 07:22

OP, I like how you roll 😁

The problem is, you see, that by “flaunting” your bump in a “look at me” (whatever the fuck that is) pink jumpsuit, you’re telling everyone that <lowers voice to Les Dawsonesque hiss> you’ve had sex. Which is obviously shocking and naughty and beyond the pale on a day when the centre of attention is the woman in a dress advertising virginity.

The only MN-acceptable way to atone for your utter flooziness is to swathe your pregnant belly in a voluminous, shapeless, burlap sack, preferably in sludge beige. Have you considered accessorising it with a small bell and a sign reading “shame” around your neck?

Have at the jumpsuit. And I say that as a boring middle aged woman wearing a navy dress and jacket to the wedding I’m attending this spring. Don’t be me. Enjoy the day, feel fabulous and happy easy peeing.

Alondra · 13/04/2024 07:40

The pantsuit is lovely OP. I prefer the royal blue for a wedding, and looks like the fuchsia you wanted is sold out anyway.

I will never understand why so many women think hiding their pregnancy with fabric tents is more socially acceptable than wearing stylish clothing showing they're expecting a child.

@SoundTheSirens - I think l love you! Will you marry me? It’s legal now! ❤️

HappyMe6 · 13/04/2024 08:36

Not sexy at all. Beautiful colour I’d go for it

DreadPirateRobots · 13/04/2024 08:36

OP, my occasion outfit thread on S&B ended up in the papers for an incredibly stupid reason, and I had all the idiocy of the DM comments section on my taste and appropriateness 😁this place can be super weird, and misogyny lives.

Enjoy the wedding.

MillyMollyMandy01 · 10/04/2024 23:16

For that price, I don’t expect the fabric will be sustantial - probably really thin & flimsy and will show every lump & bump, which you might not really want whilst pregnant (eg belly button, nipples etc). A dress would be more flattering and comfy.

I don’t think it’s sexy, do think it will be a PITA to go to the loo.. and agree w the PP that TBH its cheap and may look quite exposing..

I’m not sure it’s your most flattering choice

WimbyAce · 13/04/2024 08:40

I really like it and I never like much posted on here! Great colour! If it's comfortable then go for it.

It is the colour OP. That combined with the potential for camel toe and the companion concept at the back (elephant toe?) during the course of the day as you wear it.

You posted saying you don’t want to draw attention and if you really meant that the only honest feedback is that it’s hard to think that this is the best outfit to pick. If you really don’t want to, it’s unkind to egg you on.

There is nothing wrong with showing a bump. I had two bump-clinging dresses for late pregnancy, one black, one kind of petrol. But they clung over the bump then fell free round the crotch.

Dressing in late pregnancy is tricky. Put it on and ask DP to give an honest appraisal: we can’t actually see the camel/ butt crack situation. Tell him you have the blue dress as a back up - there’s nothing wrong with it coming up a bit shorter ( if knee level) and showing your legs.

But my response was exactly what I’d have told my sister if she said she didn’t want to draw attention ( actually I’d have said it anyway you her; but you did post saying that’s what you were asking). I can’t honestly say I think that at 32 weeks pregnant you will slip in to the event discreetly clad in a bright pink jumpsuit.

But ask DP. And good luck.

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 08:54

Bloody hell "flaunting" her bump? Is she meant to wear a sack in case anyone looks at her? Why hide the fact you're heavily pregnant ffs. It doesn't have a hole where the belly goes. She's not dressing like Rihanna. All eyes will be on the bride

I’m not sure people have an issue with the bump itself.
