Hi everyone. Just a quick rave about the Mothercare dress. It arrived very quickly and I wore it to a posh do on Wednesday and everyone complimented me about how glam I looked - not bad for a £30 dress! Thanks Alana

I got 2 from monsoon - both gorgeous and with filled in tops so you can wear a bra. wore one to henley regatta today and felt quite smart, despite being 8 months pregnant. if you can hang on a few weeks i think their sale starts soon.

I bought one in Primark the other day, mainly black with a blue, red, purple swirly pattern. Its quite plunging at the front and has thin straps but I wore it last night with a black bra and OH thought it looked great wink Best part it was only £15. They did have quite a few plain ones too.

I got on from H & M - it's dark brown with a beige paisley like pattern all over it and is perfect for wearing with a bra. Cost me £19.99 and I'm wearing it constantly, its so cooling.

Ooh I tried that one on Lobyd, but it was too short for me as I'm quite tall. It was nice though.

I love a fashion question! H and M have a lovely maternity one in black print, plunge front but with shoulders substantial enough to hide bra straps, and very floaty. But because I'm short I looked daft in it so didn't buy it.

Mothercare have one like trixy's plain jersey grecian style - but only in a bright blue so depends whether it suits you or not I suppose. Mine arrived 2 days after ordered so just in time for last bit of this heat wave! Still looking for more so hope you get more answers

Oh and I'm 35 weeks pregnant and was fine in a non-maternity dress.

I got one in TK maxx.

i spent ages trawling round all the other shops with no joy, but could have bought about 5 in TK maxx. They had some nice plain jersey grecian style ones that you could wear a bra with as they had wide straps.

Hi all,

So at 30 weeks gone, not coping well in the heat, and would like a maxi dress to float around in. However I've been looking online, and all the ones I can see are halter neck, and therefore can't be worn with a bra - with my knockers in their current state, bra less is not an option.
Anyone spotted any nice maxi dresses?
Thanks
