Summer weddings...maternity dresses?

3 replies

I have two summer weddings at which i'll be 27 and 29 weeks pregnant. This is my first so i've no idea how big i'm going to get bump wise but am I likely to have a sizable bump at the that stage? And if so, would you go for a maternity dress or a normal floaty maxi dress?

The two weddings are different groups of friends so I can get away with wearing the same for both. One is a church and hotel job, the other an outdoor marque type effort.

I've got a while to go yet but are there any looks in particular you'd recommend? And how far in advance would you shop?

Sorry for all the questions

I would think you'd be quite big by then. I'd def go for a brightly coloured isabella oliver (or mothorcare copy) wrap dress with big accessorise and definitely flat shoes.

That dress is fab, thanks. I'll add it to my favourites.
My boobs have already gone up from a 32dd/e to a 34e so I imagine they'll be huge by the weddings Grin

Ah, then another important accessory will be a very good bra! Don't leave it until the last minute. The beauty of buying a maternity dress is that it will expand with your bump while still fitting hyou everywhere else. IO dresses are pricey but hold their value, you'll be able to flog it on ebay after Grin OTOH, mothercare seemed to have copied their look and do some great copies.
