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?

@Calliopespa it's a pink jumpsuit for a spring wedding. She's not wearing white. It's not revealing. I really don't see the issue.

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 08:58

Not everyone wants to wear brown

OP I think you handled this thread so well, you had so many snide and downright rude comments and I agree that if you'd posted the exact same jumpsuit but from Net a Porter or even Boden you'd not have got the flaming you did.

I hope you're wearing the jumpsuit today OP, I hope it's a fabulous day and that baby behaves so that you can enjoy it! Wishing you luck in these last few weeks of pregnancy and for when baby arrives 😊

Yes, I think the OP has been a trouper.

Agreed ❤️!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it and it's perfectly fine for a wedding. Some people on here are very strange. I can't imagine anyone I know even raising an eyebrow at that outfit.

For context, I'm a 44 yo mother of 3 and I would have worn something bump hugging, because even at 33 weeks pregnant I still looked great! Go for it!

It's lovely. Definitely suitable for a wedding

Bunnylove19 · 13/04/2024 10:23

Why on earth do you think you will “upstage the bride” in a cheap jump suit. Ego much.

Thank you both! @PlasticOno

it’s been a wild ride and not one I expected 😂
I’m not sure why people seem to think I’m a humongous whale that would willingly show my camel toe, if that was the case I wouldn’t be considering it as option haha!

I appreciate everyone’s input though, regardless of the view so thank you all!! ☺️

So many miseries on here. Bright colours are great for a wedding. Celebrate your bump. It’s 2024 not the era where you have to hide away your bump in a floaty dress. It’s great. Get it and have a fab time.

I couldn’t agree more! It’s almost as if people think pregnancy is something to hide!

SmudgeButt · 13/04/2024 11:50

How easy is it to get out of it when you need to pee? I'm thinking if there's a queue in the lady's (when isn't there) and you're desperate and need to wait 10 minutes more. Dresses are much easier. Even trousers are.

BunniesRUs · 13/04/2024 12:03

I am not ethnically British. Over the years, reading the wedding guest clothing stories, I how to god I am never invited to a white wedding. It seems absolutely impossible to understand the etiquette!

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 13/04/2024 12:05

I wish I had embraced my bump more when I was pregnant.

I didn't really get any special event invites any where but if there was an occasion that popped up where I could love my body including my bump I would have taken it. Wedding or not.

Get it

To put the whole toilet issue to bed, it’s incredibly easy to pull up and down no zips or eye hooks.
we also have our own room whilst there which I can use.
I personally have no concerns about the toilet. My question was more about the look rather than the practicalities which seem to be taking over the thread.

I think pretty much all opinions on the jumpsuit have been covered though 😂

OP, everyone will want to be your mate at this wedding ANd you’ll be upstaging the bride in your Boohoo banger. 😆 How you deal with the utter drivel on here is commendable. You sound great.

Idontgiveashitanymore · 13/04/2024 12:45

Sexy not at all !
dark colour with a nice jacket would be ok, I’m with others a dress would be smarter

Nbo · 13/04/2024 12:49

Looks lovely! Go for it and wear it

MumTeacherofMany · 13/04/2024 13:06

Not sexy at all

Mmmm19 · 13/04/2024 14:29

Looks nice to me and get wedding appropriate

Not really.
Don't wear white or cream.
Don't wear black.
Consider the venue.

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 15:27

I've worn black patterned dresses before. No one cares. I'd say white or cream are the only no nos.

Corinthiana · 13/04/2024 15:29

Yes, I knew someone would come on here and say that.
As a general rule and to avoid upset, don't wear black, it is considered to be a funeral colour.

diddl · 13/04/2024 15:40

My worry would have been it dragging on the floor when going to the loo.

If you have your own room you can just take it off!

paintedpony · 13/04/2024 15:43

I can’t see the pink colour on the link. I would probably steer away from anything too eye catching in colour at a wedding but that’s just personal preference. I also hate stripping off for a wee!

Just wondered if it was worth suggesting looking at non-maternity dresses for an alternative? I feel your pain and also find most maternity dresses look like a tent on me! I’m 35 weeks and find non-maternity dresses (with stretchy material and waistline under bust) in a couple of sizes up to my pre pregnancy size look much nicer and less frumpy! I’ve got a couple of lovely midi dresses from New look that you wouldn’t know weren’t maternity but are much more flattering 😊.
