Wedding dress for 21 weeks pregnant

Help! We are getting married in February when I will be 21 weks pregnant.

Am I mad to think I can wear this
www.forgetmenotdesigns.co.uk/caroline.html

I would get it made with a shorter bodice (so the bodice stops just above my belly button), and slightly shorter (as I'm on 5'2"). I would also get a lace up back put in in place of buttons so it an be adjustable...

Is is baby no3 so I have a big podge already and am worrying I may explode before the wedding!

I'm a pear shape, and size 12. I like the way this dress covers up my fat wobbly lumpy thighs!

Maternity wedding dresses just dont look like they have the structure to gloss over these!

Oh and I need to order it this afternoon if I am to get it made in time....

I think you might be better with a regular empire line as you don't know what's going to happen over the next few 6-8 weeks - even making the bodice shorter could mean it's a touch too tight if you end up expanding rapidly.

I got married last week at 29 weeks with just a regular empire line, not maternity and it was great.

Many thanks alpine. I have taken your advice and just got myself a Suzanne Neville bargain (£2k off). It is great to know it is possible to get a standard dress, the maternity ones really aren't to my taste.
