Size 20/22 pregnant. Need something for friends wedding

Please help me!!! I hate clothes shopping as I've always been huge. I usually just end up buying what fits no matter if I like or not.
I want to make an extra effort for a friends evening reception but have the added problem that I'll be around 30 weeks.

I don't want to spend a lot as it will only be worn once (probably) and would prefer something plain rather than patterned and fussy. Would be great if I could wear flats. Either a dress or tunic I can wear with leggings.

I have been looking online but I'm not good at virtual shopping.

What about something like this?

Or this bargain?

Or this if you can do black- dress it up with jewellery & accessories.

When is the wedding?

This is nice

spotted dress

saw this in the shop and it is nicer than the picture

All go upto a size 20 and they are generous sizes.

Hey there

I was same size as you pre-pregnancy and last summer got invited to a posh wedding. I wore a non maternity maxi dress from Boden. Cant seem to find you a link to the exact same one and colour but this was the style of it.

Ah someone is seling one on ebay in a sz 8! cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150567394556&_trksid=p1000003.m614

I wore it with some sparkly flat sandals which I will wear again because they were soo expensive & scarf/wrap but I would be happy to sell my dress to you. Its only been worn twice, just an idea. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thank you all so much. Smile
Love the Isabella Oliver stuff but I'm too tight poor.
I also like the first mamas and paps dress but I'm really pale skinned so unsure if the colour would suit.
I've ordered this from boden. I didn't realise they did maternity now. It's a little more than I wanted to spend but I've got jewellery and shoes that might go so no extras to spend on except maybe a bag. I love this but can't spend that on a clutch.
Failing that I'll put my lippy in DH's sporran.
