to be 28 weeks preg and going to a party dressed

[Heathcliffscathy]

in a flouro orange trapeze shaped mini dress?

am 38 years old, should i strongly reconsider.

in favour, colour is fabulous on me, legs (still) good and brown as is rest of me and have electric blue shoes that go v well.

against: it is above knee, and i look slightly like a piece of bubblegum.

i want to, probably last party pre baby. but am happy to be flamed for it!

do it ! you'll look ace and i am very happy to see the words 28 weeks pregnant & sophable in the same thread

i am not quite sure what a trapeze shaped dress is, but it sounds fabulous

I can't comment as I have no idea what a trapeze shaped mini-dress is I'm afraid

will try to find picture.

bit like this but not quite as short and floro coral/orange and chiffon not silky

should i wear flat shoes instead of electric blue high sandals.

am i going to look like a demented pregnant tart?

lulu baby is transverse...that's not a problem at this point is it? midwife says not at all.

V flattering if you have good legs!

Alas I have not. Hey-ho

My mw said at last appt (I was 29w) that baby still has lots of time to manouevre. HTH

yes it is triangle shaped and so doesn't hug bump at all.

[ponders] should i dress it down with flats?

Wear it! Ds was transverse until about 31 weeks I think if nto later.

I think I would have to wear flats as my back is aching a lot atm (30w)

Wedges?

God don't do flats - go with the electric blue sandals.

You will look fab!

like a ball of bubblegum in high heels then!

ok

what if everyone else (in 40s and above) is in nudes and jeans?

[quakes at thought of overdressed bubblegum ball look]

will i be excused as preg and hormonal?

They'll all be in dresses - its england the sun is out - no-one will be in jeans.

fuck yeah sorry forgot about english sun out mayhem. they'll be in bikini tops!

or you could go as a tent

You joke but 2 mums picked up today from school in sheer kaftans covering up bikinis!

pmsl...it's a real hysteria isn't it? OHMYGODTHESUNISOUTIMUSTDRESSREALLYSKIMPILY IN ORDERTOBURNASQUICKLYASPOSS.

not a prob at this stage... don't worry..still lots of time and room for baby to move x

Go for it.

"what if everyone else (in 40s and above) is in nudes and jeans?"

Then you'll look fabulous and they'll all be jealous

went to an 80s kids tv fancy dress party a few week ago dressed as 'the pregnant one from grange hill' so at about 26 wks pg that looked special go for it!
