Any tips of what to wear - feeling frumpy

Hi ladies,

I'm still only 20 weeks and don't have a proper bump yet, I just look rounder. Am getting frustrated with all my clothes as I just look fat and frumpy!

Have a couple of big birthdays/events coming up and really want to look nice, does anyone have any suggestions? Just tried a striped dress on and looked like I was wearing a tent...

Thanks x

I find things that accentuate the belly are more flattering than trying to hide it as those clothes are so shapeless and baggy and make me look 10 times bigger!!

Definitely accentuate.

And remember: you aren't fat, you are pregnant Wink

I can recommend a decent bra fitting GrinI stopped by bravissimo when I was a little further along than you and it has made such a difference! Clothes fit so much better and I no longer feel like one big blob between my neck and hips. I also agree with PP who say go for fitted things rather than things that drape and go tent-like. Lycra is your friend Grin
