Imagine you found the perfect dress for the festive season....

......and then discovered it is actually maternity wear and you aren't pregnant?!

Bought a gorgeous a-line black sequin dress with a cowl back from Monsoon today. It was a brand called Rock a Bye Rosie which I hadn't heard of - in fact I didn't know that Monsoon stocked anything other than their own brand. I googled the brand when I got home and discovered its maternity! It is mid-thigh on me and DH swears it doesn't look remotely maternity-esque....

Not sure whether I feel comfortable wearing it now!

Bump (no pun intended)

If it fits ok, go with it.

Wear it.

Get it, then you can eat as much as you want at the buffet and not have to worry about bloating

If its not obviously maternity and not a recognisable mat brand then it will be fine.

Catchingmockingbirds ha ha! Funnily enough I did mention that it was unusual to find a slinky chic number that you could actually eat in!

Thanks for replies.

It really doesn't look at all maternity - there is no way I could have got my baby bumps in there! It just looks like a chic a-line dress.

I am being stoopid. If anyone does recognise it as maternity I am just gonna have to brazen it out!!

One of my favourite dresses is a maternity dress- with a belt you'd never know.

Rock a Bye Rosie do a non-maternity range too - and apparently sell it exclusively through Monsoon.

So I reckon you're safe!

here it is

Sariska that's good to hear! I just checked it over and the front isn't any longer than the back as it usually is with maternity dresses so presumably this is non-maternity :)

It's beautiful! Wear it, no one will ever know

Its lovely but it explicitly says its maternity? I think you should go for it anyway though, and agree with Mockingbird re buffet!

Pootles the one I linked to is definitely maternity but I bought mine from Monsoon, wasnt marketed as maternity and it isn't on their website.
