Cheap maternity occasion dress recommendation?

9 replies

I have a wedding in two weeks when I will be 34 weeks pregnant. I need to buy an occasion dress but really want one as cheap as possible as I am only really going to wear it once now before I give birth.

Can anyone recommend a company? It's for a smart wedding in a hotel in Central London and so it cant be casual looking.

ASOS sale is pretty decent! X

Have you tried Ebay?

I bought a ASOS maternity dress Maroon Maxi formal dress for £20 Brand New have worn it to 2 weddings at 29 weeks and 35 weeks. Plan had been to resell afterwards but caught on my shoes on both occasions and so too many pulled threads but I don't mind as feel got a bargain and used it more than once.

I'd also suggest eBay!

Yes to eBay! I got a fab seraphine maxi dress off eBay that was flattering & glam. Asos too was great for frocks that were still stylish despite being in tent like proportions.

I hired. Got a very expensive dress for the cost of a cheap one to buy.

I got a dress from ASOS maternity - it was £38. They have quite a few nice ones.

I was going to say ASOS or Debenhams. Debenhams have some lace bodycon ones in the sale for £22.50 and a really nice prom dress but only size 6 left in that. They might have some non-sale too ?

Agree with everything above but also to say you might be able to wear a non-maternity maxi skirt if you have a smart one and then just buy a co-ordinating maternity top. This would be cheaper and/or better value for money as you'd probably get more wear out of the top.

I looked on ASOS and couldn't find anything right. I would never have thought of EBay, good idea.

Can I ask the name of the hire company please?
