Oh goodness. What do I wear to this when pregnant?

DH and I have been invited to a formal event where the dress code is 'smart' but I also have to dress for the weather and walking on uneven ground. I have a large bump.

I already have this dress:

Would that be suitable if I dress it up with a pashmina or jacket? although I only have a Gap blazer and I suspect that is too casual. I don't mind buying a jacket/wrap if it's not too expensive.

Also, what shoes do I wear? Would mid height heels be OK?

I think when you are largely pregnant you can get away with a lot. Ballet flats with sparkly bits or some kind or decoration would be fine. I had a £12 dress from Asda that I wore to a wedding when v pregnant. Dress it up with jewellery and bag and you'll be fine.

I wore blue suede wedge heels and a denim blazer to a wedding with a blue £10 H&M dress at 37 weeks. No one batted an eyelid.

I'd go with your Gap blazer if it goes with the dress and you feel comfy. Try it with a statement necklace too. Do you have a bag to co-ordinate with the dress?

Another vote for ballet flats or comfy wedges. I'd not even attempt heels.
