I really want something strapless (make the most whilst i've got it ) and NOT black or pink- the theme colours are red and gold for the wedding- what are my chances!

btw i am a sz 16 atm, and a bit short and stumpy- nothing clingy as arse is not fit for display!

i have seen this its not maternity but is the style i want and am wondering if i bought a bigger size might it fit?

Maternity exchange also hire evening dresses.
Trouble with strapless is that buying a size up is a bit risky !

What sort of budget are you looking at?

preggersagain · 08/12/2007 14:53

budget not really an issue- i'd sell one of the kids if need be to look something resembling elegant

vv cheap red dress?

JackieNoel · 08/12/2007 15:00

Ooh - not strapless, but still plunging enough to make the most of things, so to speak, how about this?

JackieNoel · 08/12/2007 15:02

I think this (in the chocolate} might be the sort of thing you've tried and don't like. Is that right?

merryberry · 08/12/2007 15:02

strapless! red!!

preggersagain · 08/12/2007 15:03

not really me i'd like gold rather than red- i have a slight aversion to red as i would clash with my car- come on red and pink nooooo!

i think i shall order the debenhams one and try it- i can always send it back if its horribly wrong! are pregnant woman supposed to all dress in black tents for the duration of their pregnancies?

urggghhh

merryberry · 08/12/2007 15:05

preggersagain · 08/12/2007 15:05

blimey you lot are on form- i do like that last one that comes in pink- not sure about the arse though- non-preggy it wouldn't be a prob but i can't get into my bridget jones knickers anymore
