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?

If you feel comfortable and good in it OP then wear it! It looks fine for a wedding to me. Enjoy the day.

Latenightmummy · 11/04/2024 04:54

I think it’s absolutely fine, I don’t think you need to worry about drawing attention to your bump, you can’t help showing it at 7 months pregnant.
It’s perfect if you feel comfortable.

THisbackwithavengeance · 11/04/2024 05:42

I love that jumpsuit so much I would've ordered it now if it wasn't maternity. It's a perfect wedding outfit. Surely most of the women there will be glammed up.

And it's £7!!

Bargain.

Fuckitydoodah · 11/04/2024 05:51

You're always going to get a divided opinion on this board.

It looks perfectly fine for a wedding. The most important thing is that you feel good in it. Sod what anyone else thinks.

Headingforburnout · 11/04/2024 05:57

I really like it. I always wore figure hugging dresses to work or anywhere other than when I was lounging around at home when I was pregnant as they were the most flattering.

bb192 · 11/04/2024 05:59

I think priority is you feeling comfortable and you said it makes you feel comfortable and confident so that's your answer.
It won't be upstaging at all to a white wedding dress and enjoy also your bump! You have every right too 😊 surprisingly you'll miss it at some point 😂

MsVictoria · 11/04/2024 05:59

I don't know what anyone means by saying "it screams, look at me". What a weird attitude. I hope this is not a new put down we're going to start hearing.

I like the colour and if you feel good, then you should wear it. No need to hide in dark colours or extra fabric. Enjoy the day.

Coconutter24 · 11/04/2024 06:06

It’s not sexy and definitely won’t upstage the bride. Just wear whatever your comfortable in

Bestyearever2024 · 11/04/2024 06:08

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 .....

isthismylifenow · 11/04/2024 06:12

I think it's absolutely fine for a wedding. It really doesn't come across as sexy.

I'm not sure why you said you might up stage the bride. That is a weird thing to think.

As for showing off your bump. You are pregnant and have a bump. Why on earth should you need to hide that. Show your bump off proudly...

Confusgurl · 10/04/2024 23:34

Thanks!
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.

Likewise. I went to a wedding at 20 weeks pregnant and tried on a silk Fred dress that looked lovely in the picture but made me
look super frumpy.

Don’t worry about not emphasising the bump though. That jumpsuit looks fine. Not what I’d chose but I’m not a hot pink jumpsuit kinda gal at the best of times! If you’re a confident enough person to pull it off absolutely go for it. If not, there are nice figure hugging dresses that will emphasise the bump but not make you look frumpy/tent like.

newmumabouttown · 11/04/2024 06:32

It’s not sexy. Please don’t buy from BooHoo - google about their ethics.

Corinthiana · 11/04/2024 06:42

It's certainly not sexy. For £7 I do wonder what it's like - the fabric is scuba crepe? How flattering can that be?
Dresses won't make you look like a tent, they'll make you look like a pregnant woman. Also I have no idea why "frumpy" is being used on here. I've never seen a pregnant woman look anything other than beautiful, even in dungarees.
However, if you want to wear it, go for it.

Libertysparkle · 11/04/2024 06:49

RampantIvy · 10/04/2024 23:11

I really like it but will it be practical for the many visits to the loo you will be making?

I was going to say the same. I think it would look nice. Whatever you wear pregnant always shows the bump. Go for it!

GinForBreakfast · 11/04/2024 06:53

Honestly I think it's absolutely fine! No one in real life cares too much, they will just be glad to see you.

Maphat · 11/04/2024 07:34

Try the jumpsuit and if not have a look at Hope & Ivy on Vinted, they do some nice maternity dresses. I wore one to a wedding last year.

StarlightLady · 11/04/2024 07:34

I think it would be absolutely fine for a wedding. Whatever you wear, because of your bump, you are going to stand out in a crowd. Embrace it!

The only downside as l see it, is as mentioned up thread, it might be awkward when you go for a wee.

PoppyCherryDog · 11/04/2024 07:36

I wouldn’t call it sexy but I’d also not wear it to a wedding. Have a look at Nobody’s Child maternity range or Seraphine maternity. They have some lovely maternity pieces. I wore a Nobodys Child dress to a wedding whilst pregnant.

FusionChefGeoff · 10/04/2024 23:10

I have to say that if you don't want to upstage anyone or be centre of attention, I wouldn't wear a body hugging pink jumpsuit when 32 weeks pregnant. That really will draw the eye I'm afraid! Same outfit, darker colour would be less obtrusive, or same colour, less body hugging.

I agree with this I'm afraid. I don't think it is sexy but it will stand out and shoe off your bump

ZenNudist · 11/04/2024 07:37

It's fine if you are OK with undressing every time you go to the loo.

TakingAMenopause · 11/04/2024 07:39

I think it’s lovely.

Spudlet · 11/04/2024 07:40

It’s fine. You don’t have to dress in sackcloth and ashes just because you have the temerity to be pregnant on someone else’s Special Day 🙄

Wear it, enjoy the wedding 😊

Alittlefrustrated · 11/04/2024 07:41

Do you hsve a jacket? If so, it will be fine

StarlightLady · 11/04/2024 07:44

Pregnant women should be proud of their bump!

UrbanFan · 11/04/2024 07:46

No idea what the rest of the guests will be like but it looks like a lovely outfit not overly sexy really. Wish I was still slim enough to wear a catsuit. I'm not sure its wedding appropriate, but what is these days. Maybe try to find out what some of the other guests might be wearing.
So long as you are comfortable and feel good in it then you do you.
