Wedding outfit nightmare! Please take pity on me!

So I'm off to a wedding abroad in exactly a week, I have no outfit and have run out of hope of finding one. Added into the horror story, I'll be 12 weeks pregnant and I'm badly bloated around the middle, nothing I'm trying is flattering and maternity is too big still! I really don't know what to do, have several breakdowns in shop changing rooms and still dressless. Please, please help!

Oh forgot to say, I'd be a 16 at the mo, heavy round tummy and hips and around 5ft 8.

Yes tethers I've already tried that on and it was lovely but a touch too casual for a wedding. Very tempted to buy it though to take with me as a dressy dress iykwim.

I really like that green one you've ordered OP. Looks effortlessly stylish and classy, also nice in the other colours too.

I sympathise. Wait till you try and find dresses you can breastfeed in... A whole new nightmare. From your description of your figure i would do an internet search on empire line or possibly shift dress. Both will flatter that first bloated stage of pregnancy. Shops i loved at that stage were monsoon (they have their sale too right now) and a canadian shop called motherhood but that migt be a bit hard to source from here! I found a company called "in one clothing" that make reasonable priced multiway dresses which i rave about as it's the only "pregnacy" (it's not a maternity dress) outfit i've kept post pregnacy. Check them out as it might be a good purchase to see you through a few events while pregnant and beyond.

Just a thought , you will probably still need to consider at least partially covering your arms to a degree in some way, sleeves or jacket etc if it is a church ceremony abroad.

I love your green dress, also Tethers' Great Plains draped dress.

The first one tethersend one linked to is amazing. I love it.
