Wedding guest - what to wear?

[Toni_Win]

Hi Ladies, just wondering if anyone has a good tip for where I can find a reasonably priced dress that can accomodate my coming bump?

I'm going to a wedding in just under 2 weeks and I don't think the dresses I have in my wardrobe are going to fit over my slightly expanded bust and waist. So I need to buy something to wear. Normally I'd go to the Monsoon outlet, or I saw a really stunning dress in the Coast sale in Debenhams at the weekend, but there is no way they would fit me now and they are too expensive for a one wear thing. I've also got a summer ball to go to and a races trip later on in July. I think by then I'll actually be showing (15+ weeks). Fortunately all 3 events are with totally different people so can get away with wearing the same thing to each.

So what I need to find is something that will fit now but not be obviously a maternity dress - because no-one at the wedding will know I'm pg, but then will also accomodate a small bump in a month or so's time.

So I know I want some kind of empire line dress, just wondering if anyone had seen anything that might be suitable and not cost a fortune considering I'll probably only wear it 3 times.

Thanks

Toni.

There are also some lovely maxi dresses around too at the moment. It is summer after all (though you wouldn't know it).

ASOS has a good selection of maternity wear in the clearance section

I'm in the same situation and bought a lovely maxi dress. Also went to a clothes swap party and a couple of girls there were a size bigger than me so the dresses perfectly fit my expanding bossom and waist! Do you know anyone you can borrow anything from?

I found a dress in river island for £60 that's got like a chiffon material all down the front so perfects hides a belly, I got it in a jade green nut think they also do it White! It is quite short though I hot it for a hen weekend! Xx

Thanks ladies. Some of the stuff on asos is lovely andc great prices. Also hadn't really though about maxim dresses. I've never worn a long dress to a wedding, except my own! But I guess they're so fashionable now it will work.

yeah one of my friends who was pregnant last year was in a maxi dress and she had to tell people she was pregnant cos it hung so well on her! Its definitely a good option cos you can wear it at most stages and afterwards . Plus loads of people were in maxi dresses at weddings I went to recently! xx
