Its DPs annual 'Dinner Dance'. He works in a private hospital.

Im 30 weeks pregnant, with a pretty teeny bump. Most of the time I just feel fat.

Its only the second time we've attended - and at last years event, I was accosted in the bathroom by a woman who made some pretty disgustingly rude remarks about my being with DP, the implication being that I wasnt good enough for him. Angry

So, this year, I feel like I HAVE to look better than ever - glowing, definately.

Can I find anything? Can I flip.

Can anyone help?

Am 26, a size 12, 5"9.

Oh, and its in two weeks. Grin

Am going to post this in S&B too.

Have you looked on ASOS?

My sister orders from them all the time, very quick delivery!

Good luck and remember a pregnant woman totally eclipses anyone else in a room, you will look stunning and have the added advantage of not descending into a disheveled drunken mess with makeup melting down your face as the evening progresses! Grin

Maxidress in a dark colour!!! Definitely the way to go - with your height you'll look amaze. Get an updo with a glittery clip or hairband and do makeup really well - voila! xx

do you have to wear a dress?
i got the black strapless jumpsuit from next for a do we were at recently, and to say i have been sick and pastey from the day dot, i felt like a million dollars Grin black is always flattering and easy to do up or down, and it didn't cost me a fortune - you don't want to spend too much on mat clothes when you're only in 'em for a few months Grin

Have you looked in Coast or Monsoon if it's just a teeny bump?

I have this dress in an amazing electric blue colour, bought to wear to a wedding. I am also 5"9 and size 12. It is jersey material, looks random on the hanger, but on it looks amazing. It has ruching so extremely flattering around bump and on boobs.

I dressed it up with chunky black and silver jewelry, black tights, high black point toe boots from m&s (those fabric ones, £35) and a silver/black pashmina type shawl. You can wear it with a strapless bra, but it has hidden support. My bust is not massive so I didn't bother with a bra (36D currently)

It has been worn twice, in perfect condition and I was actually thinking about selling it on. Contact me by PM if you might be interested as it will save me phaffing with ebay!
