What do we think of this dress for an evening wedding reception?

[cheeseandmushroomtoastie]

I am 5'5'', size 14-16. Will be 9 weeks pregnant, so may or may not have a slightly rounded tummy....

dress

Ideas for shoes/accessories/hair style welcome

Bump bump

Yes, it's lovely

I like it too (especially if you have dark colouring, perhaps less so if you are blonde)

waistband is high which is good if you are slightly rounded/bloated as may be the case (congratulations by the way )

I think it would look best with flats so it almost touches the ground rather than heels as shown in the photo.

Some dangly earrings (gold maybe?) and hair up would make it look more glam and less sundressy. A black shrug or shawl/stole to keep you warm in this lovely british summer.

Exactly what Minipie said
It's lovely, and would look gorgeous with a little bump (might be a bit broody...!)
Congrats OP

Very nice! You OK braless then?

these would be good with it, black clutch and black pashmina.

Pretty!

That reminds me, I have a wedding reception looming......

Bugger! Tick the tanned and brunette box but didn't think about the bra bit definitely can't go braless with these 34dd breast feeding ruined dangly things. Reckon I could get away with a strapless or crossover bra?!

< starts looking for dress again >

Oh bugger, no, I don't think there's much of a chance of hiding a bra under there. Sorry.

will have a rummage

this with bright accessories, maybe turquoise? Could give a similar feel, I think.

procrastination love that phase eight dress. There's a store in the next town up so will call them in the morning otherwise will order online. Excited now! Thanks, will report back tomorrow!

That's so rubbish to make a lovely dress like that then make the back of it so you can't wear a bra. Why can't it just have a normal back, it would be so much better

I know, I still love that dress
