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?

Certainly not sexy and I don't think it is appropriate. It screams look at me, I'm pregnant don't you know. Rather attention seeking on a day when it should be all about the bride and groom. Any wedding outfit, pregnant or not, should be elegant and understated.

Do women really look at other women and think this? It doesn’t scream look at me and even if it does, who cares. She’s hardly going dressed as a bride.

what is it with women wanting other women to dress like they should be hidden.

AuntieMarys · 11/04/2024 07:51

I would wear that style as a 66 year old mother of the bride. But not at that price!

PlasticOno · 11/04/2024 07:53

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,

Yes. I mean, Christ, since when is being visibly heavily pregnant an ‘attention seeking’ act???

Irishdragon · 11/04/2024 07:53

Sorry I think it looks really cheap and the colour is too loud. I am sure you could find something more classy looking .

Chrispackhamspoodle · 11/04/2024 07:53

It's a bargain, you feel happy in it and with some jewellery it'll look lovely.

TubeScreamer · 11/04/2024 07:54

Not sexy.

it is very ‘look at me’ with the colour, imho.

Whatevershallidowithmylife · 11/04/2024 07:55

I think it’s lovely but I would be a bit worried about how tight it might look. Perhaps you could get one of those long chiffon things to go over it? Roman Originals do them.

Globules · 11/04/2024 07:56

Jumpsuits are a bugger to pull down for the toilet at the best of times. I'm not sure I'd want to over a pregnancy bump.

I don't think it's too sexy, I actually love it. I think it's appropriate for a wedding.

But think practically lady. Lots and lots of up and down getting it on and off to pee. Do you need that?!

BluebellsareBlue · 11/04/2024 07:57

It's absolutely fine, not sexy at all! Wear it and feel good!

Revelatio · 11/04/2024 07:58

I think it’s the opposite to sexy!! I don’t understand what’s wrong with wearing a dress above the knee? I usually wear mid thigh as that’s the most flattering length for me.

Matildahoney · 11/04/2024 08:00

I think it's fine, at 32 weeks your biggest issue is being comfy. I know exactly what you mean about loose dresses looking like tents!
I wore this at 5 months & was quite big, got flamed on here for trying to upstage the bride etc (SIL). Everyone told me how lovely the dress looked, so I'd take the advice on here with a pinch of salt when you know the people at the wedding.

SambaRose · 11/04/2024 08:02

Wear it!
I find the whole upstaging the bride thing ridiculous, unless you're planning on wearing a wedding dress, walk down the aisle in front of her or snogging the groom nobody will think you're attention seeking.

NotARealWookiie · 11/04/2024 08:03

To be honest if you feel good in anything at 32 weeks I would wear it. You aren’t upstaging anyone by being pregnant and wearing pink, you will get attention being pregnant and that’s totally normal - you don’t need to hide it!

Stardustmoon · 11/04/2024 08:03

It's fine. People wear all sorts of colours to weddings so you won't stand out. Just accessorise with a darker jacket or cardigan if you're worried.

doitwithlove · 11/04/2024 08:05

Looks fab, will do the job. Wear it and have a damn good time 🎉

That’s a great dress!

ComeOnNowNotThisTime · 11/04/2024 08:17

It’s not sexy, no worries around that.

If you are worried it’s too figure hugging, I’d wear it with a jacket (you might well be too cold anyway wo it).

I mean, I though the time when you were supposed to hide your pregnancy and bump were long gone tbh.

greengreyblue · 11/04/2024 08:18

@Matildahoney thats lovely. MN is a funny place when it comes to weddings. At mine(27 years ago) I was honored that guests made a real effort. There was no mistaking anyone else for me. I was definitely the best dressed!😂🤨

FlibbertyGibbitt · 11/04/2024 08:19

Wear it ! You’re not going to wear it after the baby arrives, and for £7 it’s fine !

Idontjetwashthefucker · 11/04/2024 08:20

The amount of bitchy comments on here is awful! Wear what you like OP and have a bloody good time

She asked for opinions because she was unsure. What would be the point in everyone just saying “it’s lovely” if that isn’t what they really thought? There’d have been no point in OP posting.

rainbowstardrops · 11/04/2024 08:31

I think it looks great and it's a maternity item of clothing! It's not like you're squeezing into a tiny dress or jumpsuit.
I'd probably wear a jacket or something because it might be chilly but as you feel good in it, go for it!
I can't understand people practically suggesting you don't show off your bump like it's something to be ashamed of!
