wedding jumpsuits


My friend wants a wedding jumpsuit. So.....help.

*****

Man are there a lot of harem-pant-y drop-crotch-y jumpsuits out there. YIPES.

The only wedding-worthy jumpsuits I could find were on net-a-porter. (I tried to shop elsewhere! I really tried!)

The Paul & Joe (left) is what you might call disco fabulous. Nothing drop-crotch-y about it.

And I'm not mad at the minimalist chic Phillip Lim (right).

p.s. MAJOR POINTS to this writer-inner for brevity. Like, major.

  1. Here is one that looks like a dress, but is definitely a jumpsuit: http://www.my-wardrobe.com/m-missoni/pleated-silk-jumpsuit-245922

    If she also wants to get on the blush bandwagon, this one from Elizabeth and James is quite pretty: http://www.my-wardrobe.com/elizabeth-and-james/grace-silk-jumpsuit-290199

    looks like it will be cheaper here in a few days:

  5. The friend knows that no one looks good in a jumpsuit, right???

  6. Love the idea and like the cut of the Phillip Lim, but... I always feel like what makes a jumpsuit cool is an awesome Missoni-style print. Is she set on wearing white?

  7. @Anon 5:38 - you are so wrong. (I <3 the Paul & Joe one. Gorgeous!)

  8. I vote for the Paul and Joe, it's dressy and classy and you could still wear it to the disco if you had a time machine.

    Just don't end up in this embarrassing situation!:

    I think both those gals look fine in jumpsuits and as a jumpsuit owner myself (which I've gotten many compliments on) all of you haters can suck it!

  11. @ESB right? I mean, don't their stylists own steamers?

    I like the ones you posted above better but a lace number that is part of a French bridal line (scroll down a bit and you'll see it):

  12. I still am into the Stella M. slit pants. But hey. This one is pretty terrible/great. That is the same thing when describing a jumpsuit, right?

  14. I kind of love that Philip Lim. Very modern and chic! Plus, you could throw on a great statement necklace with it too. (Props for brevity!)
