Please help me with floaty summer dresses for early pregnancy!

Ok, what I am looking for is probably impossible. I'm too early on for maternity dresses but am bloated (water retention maybe?) and - attractively - have developed some spider veins around my knees making my above-the-knee summer dresses unflattering to say the least. In this hot weather I have NOTHING to wear, especially to work (teacher). I'm a size 12-14 but let's face it, a 14 now. I want a couple of long dresses that are a bit floaty round the middle to avoid drawing attention to my bloated tummy and hopefully accommodate the bump in its early stages. But without looking frumpy and also not too casual for work. And I am on a budget - have very little to spend. Does what I'm looking for exist??

How about something like this? How pregnant are you? They may be a bit tight in the middle... similar maternity one

VERY floaty... Perhaps a bit shapeless?

another maternity one

Thanks, those are great suggestions! The second maternity one is gorgeous and very suitable for work, am only five weeks along so will hold off maternity wear for a few more weeks but am definitely keeping my eye on that one!
