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?

Whatever you do OP do NOT wear a PASHMINA

soooooooo old fashioned and sometimes we have to put our outfit first over comfort and a wedding is one of them! Dresses and jumpsuits etc that we wear for weddings and that kind of thing do NOT look good with any form of jacket or coat or any kind of cover up

Not really appropriate really for a wedding ? - could you wear a floaty dress?

Can I ask why? I was expecting the link to show a sheer material and/or a very plunging neckline. Or cut out sides or something.

I’m struggling to see why it’s inappropriate. I often wear bright colours and occasionally jumpsuits to weddings, especially if they are abroad and less formal.

I know you didn’t say this but I totally disagree with PPs suggesting the OP should make her bump less conspicuous to not take attention from the bride. 😆 If the bride or anyone else thought this, my guess would be that they’d never experienced the glamour of the third trimester. 🙈

feelingalittlehorse · 11/04/2024 09:38

No advice re the bump (which I think is absolutely fine, and don’t understand why people are saying you are “showing off” ffs, you’re pregnant!!)

But, I have worn jumpsuits before, and in hindsight in photos, they really aren’t flattering or forgiving. Also, even not pregnant, the toilet was just such a pain in the arse. Having to peel the whole lot off, then wriggle back into it. An overrated experience.

Congratulations on your baby 🎉

I don't think you'll upstage the bride in an outfit from boohoo. It will be fine, wear a blazer or something over the top with a nice pair of shoes.

Burpie · 11/04/2024 09:44

You're overthinking it. It's definitely appropriate and you will look lovely! I do think PPs have a point about going to the toilet though

OP I think it screams “look at me, ask me how many weeks I am”. So I wouldn’t wear it. But if you really want to wear it, I’d suggest toning it down with a dark coloured jacket or cardigan that comes below your bump.

And before anyone starts jumping up and down saying “she shouldn’t hide her bump, she should be comfortable etc etc” - this is a wedding, not a generic night out. The bride will no doubt have spent months planning her day, trying to look her best. The last thing she’d want is everyone oohing and ahhing at the radiant pregnant woman in the hot pink jumpsuit!

Maybe it is because I do not live in the UK, and we have a very different approach to weddings.... but some of these replies are very odd.

Are you honestly saying that that no one, apart from the bride, should be getting any compliments from anyone on that day, for the whole day?

What bat shit thinking is this?

No wonder there are all these bridezilla posts if this is normal thinking now.

Where I am, as a guest, the more colourful the better. A wedding is a celebration, for everyone. Guests included. If everyone turned up in the most bland attire, all I would think is.... what a dreary occasion. No one is upstaging the bride. As she is the bride for goodness sake.

LittleRedHen77 · 11/04/2024 10:08

32 weeks pregnant and worrying about looking "too sexy" is quite unusual I think. I don't think you need to worry about hiding bump, but I don't think heavily pregnant women are generally viewed as "sexy" at all, certainly not in my experience anyway, so no need to worry about that.

greengreyblue · 11/04/2024 10:12

Op clarified she meant revealing /exposing of bump.

greengreyblue · 11/04/2024 10:13

@MumblesParty i suggest you examine you’re own insecurities. It’s normal to want to look good on any occasion but especially a big event. It’s a celebration. I’d be more disappointed if guests dressed down.

Alwaysalwayscold · 11/04/2024 10:14

If that's sexy and distracting from the bride I'd love for some of you to see what's worn at a gypsy wedding! I'd feel extremely under dressed in that.

susiedaisy1912 · 11/04/2024 10:23

It's made up of a mix of polyester and spandex op. You sure you want to spend the day in that?

Gettingonmygoat · 11/04/2024 10:24

Not in the slightest bit attention seeking ! Do you not like the Bride ?

Another stupid response

SabreIsMyFave · 11/04/2024 10:45

It's not even remotely 'sexy!' 😆 It's fine for a wedding, but I would steer clear of that 'in-your-face garish colour. It screams 'look at MEEEEEEE!' Get it in a dark blue, or a dark green or something @Confusgurl

LuckySantangelo35 · 11/04/2024 10:46

I guess not all third trimester pregnant woman have large bumps though to be fair

Not really. It is screechingly attention seeking, particularly in that colour. Just because you don't agree with someone's response, that does not make it 'stupid.' 🙄

CRE2024 · 11/04/2024 10:47

I went to a wedding in a jumpsuit. I almost wet myself twice trying to get the fecking thing off - and I wasn't even pregnant! Don't do it to yourself.

muddyford · 11/04/2024 10:49

YABU to buy anything from a company that describes your baby as 'bubba'.

GR8GAL · 11/04/2024 10:55

I think its a lovely colour and very flattering. I say go for it!

You don't know these people, when are you likely to see them again?? Stop caring what strangers think, I bet your boyfriend would be delighted to have you on his arm in that.

Hope you have a lovely time! Bet you'll be stunning!

Were you drinking? That's obviously going to make you want to go to the toilet more.

beatrix1234 · 11/04/2024 10:57

I wouldn’t call it sexy, but more like cheap and innapropiate. You don’t want to show up pregnant in a wedding with a 7 pounds nylon pijama. If you’re far away in your pregnancy and you don’t want to spend much money get some sleek black classy dress with a shawl.

greengreyblue · 11/04/2024 10:58

I have a stretchy jumpsuit like that in a different colour and it’s really easy to get down as it’s wrap style at the top. I have others that are not stretchy that have caused some sweaty, panicked, tussles in toilet cubicles trying to get them off for a wee! OP said this one is easy up and down

Do you honestly think wearing black dress (with a shawl) to a wedding is more appropriate than a nice bright fun outfit?

And OP is going to be pregnant for a few more weeks only. It is not like she is going to be wearing the jumpsuit on a cost per wear basis.

Crazycrazylady · 11/04/2024 11:06

It's a no from me for kids of reasons.

Looks cheap
Think it could fit very odd on a pregnant shape
Screams a bit of look at me I'm pregnant .. ie attention seeking

Ultimately though. If you like it wear it and feck what any one else thinks
