yay or nay: wedding jumpsuit

Diana

Just to be clear, I am NOT considering buying this. Just came across it while surfing for wedding dresses, and wondered what we thought.

Apparently one of the real housewives of Atlanta wore one.

Yay for a second outfit and for reception. It would be so unexpected and fun.

I think it's cool! But I would be afraid to wear it. Knowing me, I would have to make too many bathroom trips on such a nervous-making day!

I actually kind of like it! I think it would be especially fab in a two-bride wedding, with the other bride wearing a more traditional gown (thing Ellen de Generes and Portia di Rossi).

The one on the Atlanta "housewife" is just heinous. I think the designs of Pnina Tornai (Pat! I'd like to buy a vowel!) make every bride look like a hooker! I cringe every time they're featured on "Say Yes to the Dress." (Not, uh, that I watch that show.)

It's kindof pretty if you weren't going for traditional...

I love the clean and bold style of it. It could be perfect for a certain personality or venue or, like Mary said, perfect for the wedding with 2 brides.

I like it! But not in place of a wedding dress I don't think. Maybe to a black tie event type of thing instead?

I like the neckline, but I say nay to jumpsuits unless you are jumping from a plane or going up in space or something.

Depending on the venue, I think this could totally work. I can see it being a classy, elegant kind of look on the right person.

I think it would look amazing on the right person.

If it's your style ok maybe to the one YOU posted. But honestly the bathroom situation is difficult at best in a wedding gown and worse in a onesie don't you think?

Hm, kind of costume-y.

Eh... you'd have to have the right personality for this. And maybe this is horrible and closed-minded, but the first thing that jumped into my mind was a same-sex marriage. Feel free to roll your eyes at me...

I fell it would take away from the bride's opportunity to wear a beautiful and elegant dress. After all, it's her occasion to look radiant and stand out like no other. She also wants to look amazing for the groom, and I truly believe most men would prefer seeing a women in a bridal dress. Agree with Rea on what it makes me think of too.

I've never, ever, ever seen anyone look good in a jumpsuit. Poisoned eye for them, wedding or not.

Well, I've never been a big fan of jumpsuits, and if I can pull my brain away from thinking about A Chorus Line, I actually think this could work for someone with the right attitude to pull it off. The bride could look fantastic, depending on how she styles it. Hair, jewels, topper? And, @Joy, she would certainly stand out like no other. Diana, I think it has possibilities.

I love jumpsuits! I think this would be fun to wear to a disco wedding reception, with the groom in tight white pants and a purple satin shirt with flames on it. Just me? Anyone?

Agree with MaryK. If Jane Lynch weren't already married, I could see her looking fab in this with her great figure and long, long legs.

This is a very polarizing look!

I had not thought about the bathroom issue. Yes, that would be a problem!

FWIW, my fiance thought the idea of a wedding jumpsuit was just ridiculous. He did admit that the Nordie's one I linked to above was not so bad "because it looks like pants and a top and not a jumpsuit" and that it would be cool in a two-bride wedding.

Personally, I don't think I could pull it off, but I agree that the right woman could look stunning in this!

Apparently you can also dress your bridesmaids in jumpsuits. While I think this might look cool in the right setting, I also think this is a surefire way to make your bridesmaids hate you!

to me, a jumpsuit is essentially a casual outfit, so it seems incongruous to be a wedding dress. It's like wearing a white sweater dress as a wedding dress.

I'd be away too self conscious to wear white pants... Probably can see thru , even just a bit of imprint would keep me worried...

My first impression was that it looked like something the cater waiters at a high-end function would wear.

It's better than Kim Zolciak's, though!

And, actually, I'm not against a wedding jumpsuit in theory. It's these particular ones. The detached satin halter lapel thingy in the first one bugs me, and Kim Zolciak's is just the complete opposite of my taste.
