nothing to wear

[ellielou02]

Hi all I have a wedding in 4 weeks time and am going all day and cant find much in the way of what to wear, can anyone suggest a website or a few to try I am 15 weeks now and am sporting a decent bumb already!! Everything I have seen is black and its a summer wedding, if all else fails guess it will have to be old faithful whte linen trousers and a top!!

how much cash have you got- can you afford something from Isabella Oliver?

www.isabellaoliver.com/maternity-clothes

Their stuff is spendy but if you choose a wrap-around dress for example, or one of their wraparound skirts or tops, you can wear it after you give birth too.

I didn't find Isabella Oliver worth the cash tbh and sent it all back

can I ask what size you are ellielou because tbh I think you're better going up a few sizes?

Matalan have a good range that go up to a 20 and then their Rogers and Rogers go up to a 28

Dorothy Perkins do up to a 22 and have some really nice stuff online

as do Monsoon - up to a 22

I got a top from Evans for a wedding I was at last weekend and wore it with white linen trousers lol

got a lot of nice compliments though and I'm a size 18/20 and 29wks pregnant

I wore a wrap top from JoJoMaman with jersey foldover trousers from Mothercare (similar to IO), dressed it up with jewellry and looked fine (IMO). The wrap tops are so comfy, I had the peacock blue one with brown trousers which worked well.

what size are you?

I am a size 12 and tried going up a size in jeans and trousers but they looked baggy round the bum and hips etc. Might get away with a dress tho.

I would get matty trousers but just go up in size in clothing, there are loads of great styles that can accomodate a bump without having to buy matty

what style of top would you normally wear?

here the gold paisley dress

I think white linen trousers and a top would be perfect.

Am quite tall and like the smok type tops and long line tops think I will have to drag one of my friends on a shopping trip soon DH is no use at this .

I was in monsoon trying on 22s last week and they had some great longer length style

you should have a look at dot p and monsoon online for some inspiration

good luck and enjoy the wedding

Thanks you for all your suggestions I will need to raid DH wallet and go shopping thanks again .

pleated top?

dress

would work with bump and they do it in turquoise too

top

would also work with bump and would look nice with white linen trousers

you get my drift though

OOOOH like them all thanks dizzydixies.

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I am 16 weeks and wedding is in 2 weeks (eek). I have looked around a bit but find it difficult to find dresses to fit because my bust is so big.

I did go to TopShop and found some really nice sundresses. Many I tried on didn't look great, but found one I may wear.

Good luck and let me know if you have any more bright ideas.

I think wrap tops/dresses are ideal for the bigger boobed amongst us as they fit everywhere but I found a vest top underneath avoided too much cleavage! I am a 16 on the bottom but 18-20 on top esp when pg (38J at 20 weeks arggghhh) and my wrap tops are perfect. I don't do dresses though - Crave do nice wrap dreses, although a little pricey.

I bought a lovely top from Mamas & Papas - it's a grape colour and long and I wear it over white trousers. Something like that would look nice and elegant and summery

got some super things from h&m & a lovely top from pumpkin patch last year

I'm 23 weeks and off to a wedding in 3 weeks. I bought a lovely tunic blouse from Gap Maternity to wear with a pair of white linen trousers I already have, but Gap had some similar maternity ones in. The blouse is dressy enough for a wedding, but casual enough that I can see myself wearing it all summer after that!

PS have changed my nickname from ahlh to bikerunski. I've changed my surname (to married one, after 8 years) and my old initials didn't work anymore!

PS Blouse was less than £30.

PPS Have just reread your post and see that you already have white linen trousers! I am dressing mine up with silver ballet pumps.
