I've seen this dress on ebay for a bargainous price of £4.99 + p&p, and i really like it. I have it in mind to wear at Christmas, when i will be very heavily pregnant, and i need to make a good impression - it's the first Christmas with the almost inlaws.

Now, honest opinoins - look alright or big spotty blimp?

I like the pattern, but it's not go much shape and the material looks flimsy so it may be cold in December/ it will show every lump and bump / it will look like a rag after wearing for a short while!

Will it (the big dots) make your bump look bigger, would you mind that? With something shiny and black or silver I think it would look lovely for Xmas.

Cheap and nasty. If you buy it you will regret it. Wait until nearer the time and get something plain.

It looks like it's made of nasty cheap material, has no shape whatsoever and will make you look like a badly wrapped xmas pressie (in spotty wrapping paper!)

DH gave me a very wise piece of style advice when I was dithering over flowery maternity dresses:

If you wouldn't wear it when not pregnant, don't buy it

If it fits you can have it for 4.99!

I actually considered that same dress a few months ago for DH's work do, but decided it couldn't possibly be any good for that price. Suspect it will be very poor quality material and cut badly.
