So, I have to go to a 'ball'......

Its DPs annual 'Dinner Dance'. He works in a private hospital.

Im 30 weeks pregnant, with a pretty teeny bump. Most of the time I just feel fat.

Its only the second time we've attended - and at last years event, I was accosted in the bathroom by a woman who made some pretty disgustingly rude remarks about my being with DP, the implication being that I wasnt good enough for him. Angry

So, this year, I feel like I HAVE to look better than ever - glowing, definately.

Can I find anything? Can I flip.

Can anyone help?

Am 26, a size 12, 5"9.

Oh, and its in two weeks. Grin

TIA

Whats your budget like ? Does it have to be a maternity ? Think cocosa have some Issa maxi dresses at the moment ? Or maybe a monsoon or coast empire line maxi? A nice fabric with lots of sparkly around the face should ensure glowiness

I'm assuming it's black tie, so floor length for you?

Something like this might work for you?

Or Crave maternity have some nice evening dresses.

I would say the dress fanny suggested, whilst nice, is too old for you.

Not sure what your budget is but this galliano dress is fabulous and is just perfect for the 'yeah bitch I'm still here and happier than ever'' smile you will be shooting over to the evil cow who upset you last time. The also have it in baby pink if that is more your colouring. Will keep looking...

Yeah go for nice material and maybe a glitzy colour that suits you. Can you get to one if those Bicester Village / Cheshire Oaks type shopping places? I got a STUNNING Donna Karan red wrap dress there once, £800 (allegedly) reduced to £90!! Felt a million dollars in it Smile

There are some amazing dresses on outnet but I dont want to link to too many without knowing budget...have a look!
