Summery dress to cover 1st signs of pregnant tummy?

Hi all,

I have a 12 month old & am about 6 weeks pregnant. As with DS, I am showing pretty early as I am a size 8, tallish and have small boobs (A B cup) so the pot belly is a real giveaway. I have a party next weekend which is casual dress and had planned to wear a stripey blue Sainsburys dress with reddish brown leather wedges. However, my tummy now protrudes more than my bust so I have to have a rethink or else people will guess. (I should mention that I have a had a MC in the past and have experienced early bleeding this time round so I'd rather people don't guess in case it all goes wrong again).

So - I'm looking for a summery dress that has the potential to see me through the next couple of months if things go well. Im in my mid-30's, have brown hair and eyes and olive skin (if that helps?) and would ideally like something knee length or just above. Ideally, if I can get in on the internet that would be fab (sorry - how picky am I??)

All suggestions much appreciated!

I'm thinking possibly a tunic style dress might be good. I was going to link to Boden but there are so many options there, you would be better to have a look yourself. Ignore me, of course, if you don't like Boden Grin

something like that?
It is not as short as it is in the picture, I am 5'8" and it is about 10 cm above the knee.

less party like mango

navy?

It is difficult the fashion seem to be straight and tight around the tummy this year!
