So my friend told me last night he is getting married first week of Sept.

I know its still like 3 months way but I dont want to leave it til the last moment and find nothing or OTT priced dressed.

I will be keeping a eye out on e-bay but anyone know of any good shops on or offline that arnt OTT priced as I will only wear it for that day but still want to feel nice and not a whale as I will be about 30 weeks by then

There are some good recommendations on this thread that I started a couple of weeks ago. FWIW I went for the Seraphine maxi dress!

Topshop do some nice dresses. I went to a wedding 8 months pregnant (last August) and wore a dress (silk, electric blue for about £40) from there with white maternity trouses and sparkly sandles.

Thanks for the link Jacksmybaby seen a nice black maxi on new look

I'm not sure budget wise, I guess no more that £30 if I can help it, need to see what DP says, hes the money watcher

I have to go into the city tomorrow so I might have alook around, I dont know how big I will get but right now at 18 weeks I am the size I was with DD at 6 months

Girl Meets Dress hire out designer dresses online and they have some good maternity ones.

Not cheap but since it's to wear to a wedding, I imagine you wouldn't necessarily be getting a lot of wear out of anything you ended up buying so might be nice to treat yourself to wearing a flashy designer label just for the night

I love the Alice Temperley one or the Butter by Nadia blue one and I have a friend's wedding to go to about 3 weeks after I give birth so might rent one of them myself!!

Thanks for all the help

I got a dress today, yes I move that fast haha
but it was the last one in my size and under £30, the really is next to no nice dresses in shops

I got this one
www.newlook.com/shop/womens/maternity/gold-bead-maxi-dress_194129301

Boobs and bump look great in it and think I can get away with wearing it after baby also
