Need a dress for a wedding to hide baby bump

8 replies

Hello, I'm new to this board but wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

I have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks and need a dress. I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant with no 5 so have a bit of a tummy. Other than that I'm reasonably slim (with a few wobbly bits). I wear a size 12 in most shops and am 5'2.

I'm not big enough for maternity wear but tummy is too big for anything I have - I think I want something fitted in most places but a bit of room to hide my little bump.

Has anyone seen anything or any styles I could look it? I live in a very remote area so will have to order online.

Many thanks.

Why not look for a bf dress? I got a lovely one on eBay which had plenty of room them I was 38wk pg and looked great when I wore it to a wedding 6 months later, it's not a summer one though.

Really good idea, I didn't know such things existed so thank you for the suggestion.

Try Closet - they have lots of styles that will potentially hide a bump. I used to find that wearing a statement necklace also helped deflect attention away from the tummy area.

Or you could try a nice dress from Seraphine as they have a sale on? It's maternity wear, but they are apparently designed so you can wear them throughout the pregnancy. Plus they are so gorgeous I would totally wear one myself and I'm not even pregnant!!

How about something like this?

Would cover a small bump well, and could very easily be dressed up. Like the v at the back; nice detail but not too low.
