Dress SOS! Pregnant and posh please

8 replies

MakeMeWarmThisWinter · 03/01/2015 22:54

I'm a size 10 ish and 20 weeks pregnant. I need a dress for a posh do - actually it's not posh but it is dressy. I don't want to spend a lot, literally max £30. I'm unlikely to wear it again. I think I'll need a size 10 or 12 depending how roomy the dress is and would prefer full length. I have blonde hair and suit navy, burgundy, dark green - cream makes me look dead.

I've ordered a couple of dresses from ASOS in the sale which might work - anywhere else worth a look? Or anyone fancy linking some perfect dresses they've spotted on their travels?

Here are the ones I've ordered - This in navy but I'm not sure my bump is big enough to do it credit, and this which I have high hopes for but suspect it'll not work with my little bump and look cheap in the flesh.

Look at the sale section on Isabella Oliver and Seraphine- you can toggle the price and sizes available. You can get a very nice Jersey wrap or bodycon dress for that budget in the sales, and you'll be able to keep wearing it if you don't get anything spangly. Add a few bits of nice jewellery and you'll be good to go.

Jojo Maman Bebe have a sale on at the moment - www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/pp+maternity+dresses. Not sure what size would suit you, but in my experience of their stuff they come up pretty true to size.

IO and Seraphine both out of budget and nothing suitable at Jojo.

I don't want bodycon, I'm flabby at the moment. And I don't like wrap dresses. I loved IO stretchy ruched things in my previous pregnancy but I don't want to wear tight things at all this time.

I like the Tiffany Rose lace long sleeved shift dresses but much too expensive. I am now stalking a few dresses on Ebay though, thanks for the brand tips Smile

Not helpful but I'm hoping the burgundy ASOS one your ordered is nice on as it looks fab in the picture!

Ok I've ordered some more -

lace shift bargain - I ordered it in dark petrol too

Burgundy lace one which I'm hoping is The One

I want to be glam but basically not spend anything!

I could buy some nice wide satin ribbon to tie round the Asda burgundy lace one and voila it will look like the Tiffany Rose one Grin
