Honest opinions on this outfit for (step)mother of the bride please.

[C0rdeliaChase]

I hate dresses, so I really want some sort of pantsuit or jumpsuit. But it's going to still be fairly warm (September) so I don't really want to wear a jacket. I'm a size 18, would this be appropriate?

Any good ?

It’s a no from me. Size 18 and sleeveless? I can’t think that’d be good. Plus way too casual.

Being a size 18 does not stop one from showing one's arms. The world will keep turning.

Its a great outfit but tbh for your size it might not work

JudgeBurrito You're still leading the field by a considerable margin.

That's nice .

And sorry OP but I'm with others on the white trousers & waistcoat .

That's nice too

No. That Monsoon one is just...no.

@C0rdeliaChase someone who is size 18 should not even consider wearing that outfit!! think you really need a dress and hat for this wedding!

Thank you all so much for the links and suggestions. I'm going to have a proper look at all the links now. I did think maybe it was wishful thinking that it may work. 😂 I've been looking for something for bloody ages!

I'll probably be back in a bit asking for more opinions on other outfits.

What absolute bollocks.

No not appropriate.

The colour wouldn't have bothered me at my wedding, if you show it to the bride and she's happy with it and you like it on go for it!

If not, or this thread has changed your mind, phase eight has some lovely occasion jumpsuits.

I won't be wearing a dress and I definitely won't be wearing a hat!

I suggest going on the Debenhams website. They do many brands and have a lot of nice jumpsuit styles.

I would personally steer away from cream or ivory.

Seconding phase eight for a jumpsuit. I had a navy sleeveless one, and wore it with a silk maxi coat from Shibumi. I’m an 18 and it looked great.

Sorry no links but you can google Shibumi (some of the prints and styles are old school, but the maxi coats are utterly beautiful).

im a 10 and I wouldn’t wear this as I think it would make me look large, colour too pale, overall look like odd workwear. And too causal. The only people I think would look good in this is slim teenagers worn as seperates not together

There are some much more elegant jumpsuits out there and it’s far too light in colour.
for example

nit there are lots more

Same - I’m not an 18 (size 10-12 but with big thighs) and that would make me look like the back end of a bus. Unless people use the word “lithe” around you a lot, I’d skip it. You need long limbs.

Not appropriate at all OP, sorry. Too light/see through and quite casual. I don’t think it would be very flattering, wouldn’t touch it myself as a short size 12.

how about this? And get the legs taken up as needed / wear heels www.nobodyschild.com/products/green-puff-sleeve-jumpsuit?variant=44171481284779&_fd=0&pb=0

Has the OP said she wanted a jumpsuit???

Well...yes
