Christmas outfit!

Ok so I know this is a little early... but I'm excited!

Anyone got any clothing recommendations for nice Christmas party/Christmas Day wear?

I have a work party, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, as well as NYE and another big roast dinner sort of day.

When I look at maternity wear it's all stripy tops and dungarees - I've only really looked at high street and jojomamanbebe. I don't really like flowery patterns or tea dresses either which doesn't seem to help!

I'll be about 7 months preggy!

Thanks :)

I like all of those, but i don’t think i’ll be pregnant enough to get away with a maternity dress for Christmas! Although i’m already considering wearing maternity jeans and i’m only 9 weeks, everything is so tight and uncomfortable around my middle!

Oh I wouldn't worry about waiting for maternity jeans. None of my trousers fit from about 8 weeks and buying some over bump jeans was the best thing I did!! Go for it!

Also thanks for ASOS - I think I filtered by price last time I looked so missed out seeing all the nice sparkly things

I have this and it is truly beautiful on - m.asos.com/asos-maternity/asos-maternity-asymmetric-contemporary-midi-dress-with-belt/prd/6107903?iid=6107903. Unfortunately it is out of stock in a lot of sizes but I can definitely recommend it. One of the few items of maternity wear I've found anywhere that is as nice or nicer than regular clothing. The fabric is a nice crisp woven dress fabric, none of the awful clingy Jersey/t-shirt material.
