Sorry!
I need help please. One of my best friends is getting married in the south of France in September. I have just found out I am pregnant...will be 5 months then. This is a group of friends who are very cool and thin and still have a life. I am already a size 14-16 and with a 1 year old to run round after am erring of the side of frumpy!
What in earth can I wear for this wedding?! I have a couple of IO maternity wraps but they're so boring :( help pleeeease!
Thanks

Early Sept will still be v v hot, late Sept will be less so.

Asos have some great maternity gear here

This is gorgeous, I think. And comes in navy too, if red is not you.

It's the middle of September... So I'm guessing quite hot?!
I've bought asos maternity stuff before and found the quality a bit rubbish. I might order that one and see what it's like, I could always find a fab necklace to dress it up and at least it hides my legs!
Thanks plum

Tiffany Rose has some nice dresses if you don't mind the prices. this one is one of the less expensive, I've seen it on and it looks lovely. Not too weddingy so you could wear it to other things too.

another option here if you want sleeveless.

They have some lovely ones minipie...I wonder how well they sell on eBay. Last pregnancy I bought the IO maxi column and sold it after I'd worn it to recoup some of the money. Might be worth a shot!

Mmm yes you could prob sell via ebay or your local NCT sale... though there is always a risk of staining and so no resale esp with a 1 year old to look after.

For a cheaper option this is from Dotty P and only £28, could look quite glam with a gold or black belt under the bust and some heels.

I'll butter the hubby up and order a couple of options from Tiffany rose I think. For the hen do I have to wear what rihanna would wear Shock

Shock that is a terrifying dress code for the hen do.

rihanna wears lots of hoodie/legging type combos so maybe go for that...

Just watch in the heat - pale grey just screams sweat patches to me!!! (sorry)

Ooh I love the New look and the second JoJo one kitten

I have a wedding in October which I'll be (counts on fingers) 32 weeks so will definitely need a lovely maternity dress to wear.
