Maternity wedding guest dress

[MummaGiles]

I’m really drawing a blank on finding a dress for a wedding in a few weeks. I’m a pre-pregnancy size 16/18 so even more limited as a lot of ranges only go up to size 16 which is probably not going to be quite big enough.

I don’t like high neck, have big boobs and need to be able to wear a bra (why are so many maternity dresses off shoulder?!) and pastel colours tend to wash me out.

Ideally I’d like a maxi dress or something that falls just below the knee (I’m 5’8). I’d like the option to wear flats as I’ll be 30 weeks and struggle in heels at the best of times. Proper midis (ie mid-calf) are possibly a dubious length on me as I’ve not got the slimmest legs.

Any ideas where to look, oh wise mumsnetters? I’ve trawled ASOS, seraphine, Dorothy Perkins, next, topshop, new look, Zara. The only real options I’ve found are on Tiffany Rose but I’ve never shopped from there before.

ASOS do lovely maternity dresses perfect for wedding guest

I randomly found a couple of nice looking maternity dresses on the Asda website. Quality seems okay.

I found some nice maxi dresses at H&M when I was pregnant a couple of years ago.

You do have to order online but the two I got were suitable for weddings - I wore one to a wedding when I was 37 weeks pregnant.

Obviously have no idea what this years collection is like though, but definitely worth having a look.

Do you think this could be wedding appropriate?

I really like it, would very happily wear it to a wedding!

@MummaGiles no I haven't, they're one of those brands I look at and love the stuff but I haven't got anything planned to justify buying anything, and I've got nothing lined up for before baby arrives.

Thanks for your guidance oh wise MNers. Seven dresses finally arrived from ASOS yesterday and the zebra print shirt dress that I posted a pic of was the definite winner. Only downside is my awful cankles will be on show but you can’t have everything!
