Need a dress for a wedding...30 weeks pregnant...

7 replies

So I'll be 30 weeks pregnant, the wedding is 3 weeks time and I don't have anything to wear. It's my BIL and a small wedding with only about 20 guests.

I'd like a dress. I'd like it to cost around £50.

I'm 6 foot and usually a size 12...

There are 3 possibles in jojomamanbebe - chocolate crepe, plum linen and a khaki print one that looks terrible in the picture but is OK in real life. Think I might order all 3, but wondering if anyone has any other inpristaion first??

TIAx

I got quite a nice wrap dress (black and white print) from DP's a few weeks ago for a wedding. I also saw some nice ones in Debenhams.

I checked out all the online ones, but didn't fancy any of the options. Blooming Marvellous is another online co. worth checking.

I would go with ordering everything, in several sizes, and seeing what suits. I bought every dress in the shops that I liked, and then had one big trying on session, and took the others back. I made dh take photos of each outfit, so I could compare them from somebody else's perspective. It was amazing how different they looked, compared to my view of them.

Thanks Laura.

I'll check DP online. No dresses in the DPs around here. The Debenhams ones I've seen either don't fit or are a tad too casual.

Have decided to do like you and order everything and then decide!

I did check the DP's website to see if I could see my dress, but it's not on there. I felt the same thing with the Debenhams dresses - might be worth checking out their online offerings too though?
