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?

while I don’t love the jumpsuit, I absolutely don’t think you need to hide your bump or play it down at all. Don’t worry about that!

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 😂🙈

Personally, no ... I just wouldn't ever

  1. Wear that colour in public or in private

and

  1. It's not sexy at all. Very cheap looking fabric. I can't imagine it doing anything but riding up your bump and giving you mega pregnant camel toe.

If you're looking for cheap and cheerful check out Silk Fred or Asos. I was the sane during my last pregnancy, didn't want to spend a bomb when something would likely get worn once. There's some really lovely maternity midis available on both of those sites. I'd go for a knit/Jersey midi dress maybe with a slit and an over sized blazer. Contemporary, can be bright and comfortable. You'll want material that can move with you. I always found that my bump migrated over the day.

And for how bitchy this has cone across...just re read it. At the end of the day you're the person wearing it. If you're happy and confident and comfortable then it's the one for you.

I just don’t think a knit / jersey material would be suitable for a wedding.
Ive ordered so many dresses from silk Fred but they all looked frumpy on me.

It will look cute then.
Go for it.
Wear what you feel comfy in!

rubytubeytubes · 10/04/2024 23:37

I don’t like it, really sorry
bit the colour is awful and it just screams look at me! I wouldn’t wear it not pregnant either.
surely there is something nice than this!!!

Mammyloveswine · 10/04/2024 23:37

I think it's lovely and why on earth shouldn't you show off your bump? Unless you are wearing a full length white gown with tiara you won't look like you're trying to upstage the bride Grin

Newyorkcity123 · 10/04/2024 23:38

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.

RenoDakota · 10/04/2024 23:39

It is lovely. And totally suitable for a wedding.

Better than cheap polyester any day of the week.

I'd personally and did wear figure hugging when heavily pregnant. Looks so much better than trying to hide it in yards of fabric. Same size as you.

Knits are brilliant, especially fine kints. It's how you accessorise that counts.

INeedToClingToSomething · 10/04/2024 23:40

I think it's nice. If you like it on you at this stage of pregnancy and it's comfy then go for it.

BestMug · 10/04/2024 23:42

I like it. Definitely not too sexy- it strikes me as quite fun. But you will get attention in that at 32 weeks, and why not?

Tarkan · 10/04/2024 23:42

Being pregnant at a wedding is hard sometimes. I think it looks great and honestly if you will feel comfortable and can go to the loo easily then that's a huge plus. Dresses aren't always easier to go to the loo, they can be tight or you'll have tights underneath and that can all get fiddly. Go for it, especially since you've said it isn't expensive and you're comfy in it.

TheExclusiveSandwich · 10/04/2024 23:43

I was ready for it to be all tits ahoy, but it looks fine. What’s the problem?

BestMug · 10/04/2024 23:43

Yes the loo is an issue.

PiggieWig · 10/04/2024 23:43

I like it - prefer it in the cobalt though. Would you consider swapping?

Malarandras · 10/04/2024 23:44

At 32 weeks going to a wedding wear what will get you through the day in the most comfortable way possible! I like the colour of that myself, I think it’s fab.

PyongyangKipperbang · 11/04/2024 02:21

The loo thing at 32 weeks should not be underestimated, I really wouldnt wear a jumpsuit unless you have a friend there you can trust to help you!

It is a bit "look at me" as well.

A slim fitting dress in a subtle colour would be best. Imo, although some people frown on black at weddings, I think being pregnant means its ok to wear it as everyone understands that clothes in pregnancy need to work hard. Plain black mid calf dress, can cling to your bump without screaming "attention seeker" with a bright scarf, wrap or blazer and matching shoes would be stylish and can be done on a budget.

Jf20 · 11/04/2024 04:33

That’s absolutely fine, I can’t see the issue at all, or why you should wear a floaty dress of all things,

its not sexy at all, and honestly not many find 32 weeks sexy, unless it’s a pregnancy fetish.

This is such an odd reply. Why should she hide away, all this attention seeker look at me stuff, it’s just a jumpsuit and she said she can go to the loo easily,

YeahComeOnThen · 10/04/2024 23:16

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

What an unkind comment, FFS.

Taking care to wear an outfit that's unlikely to upstage the bride is an absolutely normal part of wedding etiquette, fuck all to do with ego.

sosickofbeingskint · 11/04/2024 04:42

I think the jumpsuit looks lovely.
