Should I buy it? Wedding guest outfit

[Peppermintcreamz]

Been eyeing this up for a few months now and it’s gone into the sale, yippee! The only thing is, it’s still £228. It’s probably a little more than I would like to spend considering I got something very similar on the high street for about £60 a few years ago in green and I’d like to buy a hat as well, so I’m wondering if I might still find something similar or if anyone has spotted anything similar recently? Or does anyone have it and can vouch for it? For context it’s a summer wedding, it’s mostly viscose so better value and more breathable than polyester I suppose Would probably need the pink one in the pic taken up as the petite version is sold out.

A hat with a statement outfit is so much better than a hat with a meh outfit.

definitely do a hat!

I disagree. Either go for a statement hat (which that is) or a statement outfit. Both together never works.

I think a fabulous fascinator would work better than that hat with the pink outfit. Would be more practical too!

Would you consider a bighairclip,I don't think a hat is needed with such a bright outfit.

Any event that calls for a hat and where a caped cerise jumpsuit is entirely appropriate is, by definition, an event that embraces a statement. Preferably two.

Hats and clothes aren’t the sartorial equivalent of choosing between a smoky eye or a bold lip, in fact the opposite: one elevates the other exponentially.

Having spent the week before last at Ascot, the most successful looks don’t hold back. Trying to tame OPs stunning outfit choice with a fascinator or flower undermines the whole look which should lean towards drama.

Gosh this is such a disappointing and pointless comment. The garment is very clearly constructed to give a sleek shape and the look, or illusion, of long legs. For anyone who wears it.

@Peppermintcreamz as you look excellent in your green jumpsuit I imagine you’ll also look good in the pink - assuming it isn’t cut too long in the body. (Which might be difficult to alter.)

Get the hat too!

Love it. Do buy it if you have £230.

But is there a reason you aren't wearing the divine green you already have?

there you go with the hat, I'm on team no hat

Team hat.

Beautiful, I'd do a big padded headband instead of hat though probably.

I love it.

Yes!

Are you saying you can't wear the green version now? Because that's fab!

High heels, no hat! What about a fancy hairband? I do not mean a fascinator.

Is it a Masterchef wedding? 😁

If not, I’d skip the huge padded headband …

Love the pink outfit!

Depending what size you need it’s on eBay a lot cheaper in size 8 and 10

Karen Millen have a very similar one! I’ve just worn it to a wedding and had lots of compliments

Thanks! I haven’t tried the green on in ages as I went up a size about two years ago, I do still have it though!

Love the jumpsuit. Hate the hat. Looks
like a chicken 🤪

Gosh this is such a disappointing and pointless comment

Isn't it just. Apparently about 95% of everything produced by the rag trade is only suitable for the tall and willowy. Who'd have thought it.

Absolutely go for it OP. If you’ve been eyeing it for ages then you will only be kicking yourself if you don’t get it. I bought a dress yesterday that I’d been eyeing for ages then it was sold out and I was devastated but one came back in stock yesterday.

Where is the green one from? Both are fabulous!!

Can I just say after all the recent wedding outfit threads from deranged sister in laws this thread is refreshing! You look incredible in the green so you will in the pink! Go for it! X
