HELP! Dress for 12wk pregnant lady going to wedding needed

8 replies

BNmum · 18/08/2013 14:40

Has anyone got any ideas for a dress that I could wear to a fairly relaxed wedding in a couple of weeks time? I'll be 12/13weeks by then but i want to hide rather than flaunt my bump as it'll be before my 12week scan and won't have told anyone our news.

Also I don't really want to spend much as not sure of how much wear I'll get out of it before I get huge. Any ideas?

At 12 weeks you won't have much of a bump so it should be easy to hide.

Go for a skater style, maxi, shift or empire line.

ASOS have some great ones in the maternity section that would not be obviously maternity if you wanted to get another use out of it whilst pregnant or go for one in the styles above from regular range.

Something like this or this with gold or white heels and clutch would work very well.

You surely wont have a bump at 12 weeks so wear a dress from your wardrobe?

I had a very noticeable bump at 12 weeks...

I found out I was pregnant recently at 12 weeks gone because DH asked "why is your tummy getting bigger?".

I have been unable to do up my trousers from 12 weeks with this and my last pregnancy, so yes you can have a bump, but not one that is too difficult to hide.

You may have a dress that will work for you already though, I can still fit in some of my dresses and I am nearly 17 weeks. To hide the bump it needs to be floaty or wide fitting around the front and sides.

Even something like this you could get away with as the bump will be low and the ruching will help disguise it.

Check out tunic dresses too.

A wrap dress like this would hide a small bump.

Thanks ladies. I have quite a petite 6/8 frame which is sporting quite a noticeable bump already so I think I'll definately have to dress cleverly to disguise it in a couple of weeks.

I've already been through my wardrobe and everything seems to be very fitted which emphasises not hides the bump.

I like the idea of a maxi dress but haven't seen any I like so will keep looking.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cos dresses tether, I'll have to investigate where my closest store is so I can try some of these beauties on.
