Ooh, thanks for all these brilliant suggestions. We'll try to have a nice selection up soon!
(And sorry you've all had so much problem with the pictures, it's been forwarded to tech's to-look-at)
Does anyone have any suggestions for big fatty fat fat pregnant women? All the maternity dresses I've found are either hideously expensive or really shapeless and unflattering. I'm 6 months pg and can't find anything nice to wear

SayCool, the best-looking pregnant women in evening dress that I've seen have either gone for the plunging neckline, Empire line, fertility goddess look OR stretch jersey with proudly protruding bump. I think this is great: they've got some other sexy styles there, too

I'm reporting back on this frock. It's sold out again but they might get it back in before xmas.
Anyway, it's gorgeous. Fits beautifully (in a 12-weight loss woop!) and is really classy/50's. The belt is a bit like something you'd find around a smellies set from Boots but I'll replace it with a nicer one.
Still waiting for my Pearl Lowe dress to arrive. Grrr!
I am very excited, just been to my local town and a new Mint Velvet shop has opened. Tried on the above dress and it's gorgeous.
Love some of these dresses but I need sleeves. <old alert>. I've ordered the Coast Charlotte dress someone linked to earlier so hopefully it does the job. More with sleeves you style hounds. Please.

Singing, why not look at shrugs? There are lots of pretty ones about: long-sleeved, short-sleeved, fitted, draped, fine knit, shimmery; all sorts! As a bonus, you can often find beautiful ones at stupidly low prices.
Tell you what, pick some dresses and Tethers we'll find you some shrugs

SayCool haven't seen you around for ages - not that you know me, I namechange all the bloody time. I like your name <stalk>
Anyway the dress I posted upthread is perfect if you're preggers, pair with heels, loads of sparkly jewellery and copious fake tan.

No I haven't been around much, tres busy with <whispers furtively> RL......
