wedding outfit in early pregnancy

Am going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and will be11 weeks. Boobs have already got a lot bigger so the outfit I wanted to wear doesn't fit too well.
It's the second pregnancy and I seem to look a bit more pregnant than last time at this early stage. I've tried a few maxis but look a lot more pregnant in them! Thing is, nobody will know aside from me and dh at that point so want to avoid looking pregnant. I'm a 16 and 5 ft 6.
Also anybody know if hold you in pants are ok when pregnant?

I went to a wedding 11 weeks pregnant and wore a really pretty wrap dress. It was a retro style one in a sort of rough satin so a bit smarter than a jersey wrap. It worked really well because I could loosen it when I had eaten too. My friends did guess I was pregnant because I didn't drink and swapped my baked brie starter though!

I know people on here pull faces at the idea of jersey wrap dresses as some of them can be rather dull but you can get some really nice ones and they are brilliant for early pregnancy when you're not ready for maternity wear as they are so comfy and don't dig into your tummy and they also stretch with your tummy and boobs. I suspect they are probably really good for just after pregnancy too for the same reasons and also facilitate breast feeding. I've never got to that stage though but I do have a few jersey wrap dresses which come out when I get pregnant. If it's for a special occasion and you think you'll get a lot of use out of it at the beginning and after pregnancy it may be worth treating yourself to a really nice one anyway.
