Does anyone have any suggestions for big fatty fat fat pregnant women? All the maternity dresses I've found are either hideously expensive or really shapeless and unflattering. I'm 6 months pg and can't find anything nice to wear :(

This is loveley www.lkbennett.com/clothing/dresses/DRLORENA175SILK

I wish I'd bought it in the sale grrr.

SayCool, the best-looking pregnant women in evening dress that I've seen have either gone for the plunging neckline, Empire line, fertility goddess look OR stretch jersey with proudly protruding bump. I think this is great: they've got some other sexy styles there, too :)

Me&em Grecian dress in peacock blue. Can't wait to wear it.

BunnyLebowski · 29/11/2012 14:11

I'm reporting back on this frock. It's sold out again but they might get it back in before xmas.

Anyway, it's gorgeous. Fits beautifully (in a 12-weight loss woop!) and is really classy/50's. The belt is a bit like something you'd find around a smellies set from Boots but I'll replace it with a nicer one.

Still waiting for my Pearl Lowe dress to arrive. Grrr!

AWimbaWay · 29/11/2012 14:54

I am very excited, just been to my local town and a new Mint Velvet shop has opened. Tried on the above dress and it's gorgeous.

AWimbaWay · 29/11/2012 14:56

Mint Velvet gold dress.

SingingTunelessly · 29/11/2012 18:32

Love some of these dresses but I need sleeves. . I've ordered the Coast Charlotte dress someone linked to earlier so hopefully it does the job. More with sleeves you style hounds. Please. Smile

garlicbaubles · 29/11/2012 19:51

Singing, why not look at shrugs? There are lots of pretty ones about: long-sleeved, short-sleeved, fitted, draped, fine knit, shimmery; all sorts! As a bonus, you can often find beautiful ones at stupidly low prices.

Tell you what, pick some dresses and Tethers we'll find you some shrugs :)

garlicbaubles · 29/11/2012 19:58

Do you like this? Phase Eight metallic bolero, reduced to £28.

AWimbaWay · 29/11/2012 19:59

SingingTunelessly, they also had this dress with sleeves in mint velvet I loved it but was worried it might be a bit warm on a night out.

Djembe · 29/11/2012 20:03

SayCool haven't seen you around for ages - not that you know me, I namechange all the bloody time. I like your name

Anyway the dress I posted upthread is perfect if you're preggers, pair with heels, loads of sparkly jewellery and copious fake tan.

ta da

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 30/11/2012 10:09

Ooh I like that, thanks Djembe.

No I haven't been around much, tres busy with RL......
