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?

It's not really wedding-y for me. More ...
pop to the pub for a quick drink

Also - you will stand out because of the bright colour - so if you're concerned about that then .....

You'd wear that to pop to the pub for a quick drink?

I had a lovely friend wear a full length cream dress at my wedding.
i didn’t notice at the time and she didn’t upstage me - even though she’s stunning - because I was the bride and it was our event.
people wear all sorts of bright stuff at weddings.
If you like it and it looks good on you, wear it. I think it’s great for a wedding.

marvellousjosie · 13/04/2024 16:36

It looks beautiful and if you feel comfortable and good in it that's the most important thing. Don't worry!

whoscoatsthatjacket2012 · 13/04/2024 16:48

I think it's fabulous. I bet you look fantastic too.

Topsyturvy78 · 13/04/2024 17:11

If you feel comfortable in it then go for it. But being heavily pregnant it's not something I would wear. There will be queue's for the loo's so would be worried I would get it done in time. I always felt more comfortable in a dress not something figure hugging.

I wouldn't call it sexy on her, let alone any mere mortal.

wear Wgat you feel good in🤷🏻‍♀️

but as you asked... I think that much material in that colour, is going to attract attention. It's not what I'd choose if I didn't want to attract attention.

however, unless you go naked, you're not ever going to 'upstage' the bride! & asking if you might, just comes over as incredibly egotistical 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd see it as considerate rather than egotistical to not want to overshadow the bride

DrJoanAllenby · 13/04/2024 17:19

I don't think a jumpsuit exists that can be described as being sexy!

I would wear a dress instead.

Corinthiana · 13/04/2024 17:37

It was still rude of her, @Volpini - so many colours and patterns to choose from.

MLP18 · 13/04/2024 17:44

If it makes you feel confident and comfortable, definitely wear the jump suit. The only thing I'd say is, as your boyfriend is the best man, I'd make sure the bridesmaids aren't in pink. Otherwise it would look like you're trying to be part of the wedding party, which would be very awkward!

AnotherCountryMummy · 13/04/2024 17:45

I think its great!

Yes obviously 😂 the theme is sage green.

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.

Aw Thanks so much! ❤️ 😅

If your budget can manage, I’d really recommend Seraphine Maternity or Tiffany Rose. I’ve had maternity clothes from both of these and the TR dresses I got in my first pregnancy are still lovely, comfy and wear really well now during my third pregnancy. Floaty dresses but designed for bump so they flatter rather than drape.

Iwantamarshmallowman · 13/04/2024 18:23

I'm late to the party but if you feel comfortable in the jumpsuit then go for it. Have a lovely time.

Aslonbo · 13/04/2024 19:03

"Upstage the bride?" The colour could well attract attention which is not what I would want if I was a guest (or the bride).I definitely think you should go for a really beautiful maternity dress. Not the one you already you have which finishes above your knee - that would look tacky.
I get the feeling you want to present the image of pregnant but still SO attractive, or else to appear not pregnant at all. At 32 weeks you can look beautiful and pregnant, not sexy, just beautiful.

Goddessonahighway · 13/04/2024 19:35

I've just googled royal wedding guest images, and Kate herself has attended a wedding in fuchsia. So there we have it. Bright colours are ok. You're not exposing anything either in that jumpsuit, and there's no hiding a 32 week bump. You're fine.

Who says you can’t look sexy in the third trimester? I didn’t but I’m sure some women think they do and good for them!

seasaltbarbie · 13/04/2024 19:59

I think it’s really nice, I would have worn that pregnant. And unfortunately at 32 weeks pregnant you will get a lot of attention anyway, everyone smiles at you and notices you, I was at a wedding probably about 34 weeks pregnant and it doesn’t matter what you wear, your not hiding that bump and everyone will notice and congratulate you. I don’t think that’s upstaging the bride though, theres really no other way around it or no amount of trying to hide it that’s going to stop people noticing you and giving you attention.

Laurmolonlabe · 13/04/2024 20:05

Personally I would never consider a jumpsuit for something like a wedding, especially when pregnant-going to the loo is a nightmare.

Not sure there is anything wrong with still wanting to look good whilst pregnant? Unless you think we should all turn into hideous trolls.
As I mentioned at the start of the thread, sexy was completely the wrong word, I purely meant if it was too figure hugging as I’m conscious to be “showing my bump off” too much.
but as many have pointed out, it’s pretty impossible not to at 32 weeks, even with a small bump like mine.

Thanks so much. It’s not AS pink as the picture, more muted.

I'm not sure jumpsuits could ever be sexy to wear - you simultaneously have to strip off and hold the legs off the floor every time you go to the toilet. Combined with a 32wk pregnancy that's a lot of contortion, and probably a lot of toilet trips!

BungledBundle · 13/04/2024 23:38

Was intrigued as to how a thread for a jumpsuit could be so long!

I know lots of people have said but it's very nice and so is the colour. Surely loads of people wear bright, cheerful clothes to weddings? Wear it and enjoy it, OP.

Also had to post to commend @ViaMargutta on "dirge-bilge" 😄

MalbecMel · 13/04/2024 23:51

I think it's lovely and I love a jumpsuit for a wedding. I personally think it takes a heck of a lot to appear to upstage a bride (e.g. wearing an actual wedding dress perhaps but anyone doing that would just appear unhinged) so can't see that would happen. I love seeing everyone in different colours and outfits at a wedding. Dress for your style and figure.

InAMillion · 14/04/2024 00:06

Doesn't look particularly sexy

Just looks like a plain functional jumpsuit

Looks fine to me
