My brother is getting married in 4 weeks and i will be 33 weeks. Im desperate to find a dress that i actually like let alone one that is flattering!

I want it to be black as im only short and bump is huge and black takes the attention away from it abit. IDeally i want a long dress (struggling to shave legs and v pale!!) and clingy in right places but at the same time 'floaty' yeah i know i ask ALOT!!

Any help?? Willing to buy off anybody on here!!

If you look at my profile, you can see a pic of me at a wedding at 31 weeks. Mine is a size 10 so no good for you, but is it something like you were looking for but its from Jojo Mama bebe.

wellbalanced · 02/09/2008 16:22

Im trying to think of an easier way to do it? I dont mind mad4my baby having my email add but dont wanna put it on here.
Also ill just explain, i didnt want £75 for the dress just incase that put you off i was just meaning thats what i bought it for but unfortunatly i never wore it as had no bump! So its brand new and dying for a new home, would love you to see pics (not sure how it will photograph thou as its black!!!)

mad4mybaby · 02/09/2008 17:12

oooooh lovely stuff

got a really nice black dress from topshop maternity, but that was oxford st london so depends where you live but it was £35 and I've got loads of use out of it and fits really well - I am also size 8.
Personally I couldn't bring myself to spend much more and also TS is such good value and very fashionable, so worth going there - you don't want to look mumsy!

I have a long black maternity dress from Blooming Marvelous. Size 8. I only wore it once. I loved it though and felt good in it. I could send it to you. Don't know about pictures etc. I could ask my DH when he gets home,
