Maternity dresses?

Anyone know where I can get some nice dresses to wear while pregnant? I have quite a neat bump but it's getting bigger, now sticks out further than my boobs though that isn't too hard lol, and I am living in my over bump jeans from next. I have a pair I wear for work and hide the pockets and such with a bump band - got away with it so far!

However, I really want some dresses. I have a couple that aren't maternity that I can wear, empire line ones, and have a shirt dress I bought in a bigger size to accommodate baby. The problem with that is they don't fit properly on the top half as they're too big! I have maternity tights which are great, and just want some casual smart dresses I can wear for work and for home. I dual purpose all my clothes!

Any suggestions? Have looked on Next and New Look but I'm not keen on bodycon styles for work, I'm a teacher and don't feel they're totally appropriate. Any other places I could get some smart ones that won't break the bank too much? I like patterns and prints and tend to go for darker colours.

Thanks all!

I have the red and navy dress, TwllBach and it is great for breastfeeding.

Thank you I'll have a look on there. Lots of ideas! I'm going to sneakily wear leggings and see if anything gets said. I really envy our pregnant PE teacher as she looks so Comfy all the time!
