Dilemma... Dress for a wedding?!

SugarSpun

I'm 34 1/2 weeks and wearing a long emerald green Lycra non-maternity dress I got in Monsoon for £12. Nice shoes and a sparkly bag and it would be wedding-friendly in a second.

I agree with Glam - most of my clothes are non-maternity so definitely check out all the shops and think laterally! A dress slightly too loose can be pulled in with a belt under the bust, for example, while a short dress can become a maternity tunic.

It does depend on how big your bump is, but mine is small and even at 35 weeks I can wear non-maternity clothes.

If you say what your budget is we could have a trawl round for you. Do you specifically want a dress or is a top and skirt/trousers OK?

Maybe check Bravissimo for dresses (either on-line or in your local shop if you're lucky enough to live near one)? They do dresses that fit in boobs and flow nicely below them, like this: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/clothing/dresses-and-skirts/bravissimo/bp16-details.aspx?colour=Ultra+Marine

I was a witness at a wedding at 38 weeks pregnant!!! Boy was I big. People keep shooting me worried looks in case my waters burst during the ceremony etc.
I wore black maternity trousers (they had been my work ones) and a black and white maternity top from Dorothy Perkins. Put that with nice black patent heels and a fancy handbag and I didn't look the slightest bit glum for a summer wedding

Oh and I gave birth 5 days after the wedding LOL! So close but no cigar

My sister is wearing this dress to my wedding this weekend and she looks absolutely gorgeous in it. She is 5 months pregnant as well.

My friend who was 5 months pregnant at my wedding, was wearing a dress from M&S. It was a stretchy fabric, and it was in red. Looked really lovely.

This was one of my 'possibles' - I think it looks gorgeous!

Hello,

Thanks again for all your suggestions so far, it has been realy helpful...

I have been to the littlewoods clearance store today and found a possibility like this one

Even though it isn't stretchy it does fit nicely under my bust and hangs over my bump (although am a bit gutted I would have to get a size 18)... What do you reckon?

It would be easy enough to accessorize too...

Cheers
