Wedding on Sat, 20 wks pregnant and NOTHING to wear.

[Whoowhoobewhooooooh]

Am hacked off, as I was going to hire this fantastic silk Peas In A Pod dress from thematernitycollection.com, but they called today and told me they can't get it to me for 2 weeks.

I've got a budget of about £80, and can be in Oxford Street on Friday.

I'm 5'3, 31, got a goodly bump, and haven't got the thighs for short skirts. (Quite small apart from that though).

I've also still got sh*tty morning sickness, and not much energy, hence my cry for help from the MN style gurus.

Anyone?

topshop has fabulous maternity wear

how about

or

this?

Debenhams have a reasonable maternity range, and some of their outfits could work for an autumn wedding.

This time last year, at about 20 wks, I wore a gorgeous burgundy top from there, with black trousers and a black wrap around shawl, and a skinny scarf with a necklace underneath.

It attracted a lot of comments and I felt a million dollars. What's great about pregnancy is that you are not expected to follow the usual rules.

poo

this?

topshop have got a lovely balloon sleeved wrap dress atm, but it is black, so may not be quite the thing, only £35. The Oxford St store have got a fab maternity bit too.

Topshop, Debenhams, H&M are all there
I think New Look are also doing maternity
Plus M&S

Warehouse has just launched a new maternity range online. I've had a look and it looks quite good.

some of the new warehouse evening stuff is nice, i seem to remember a gorgeous duck egg silk top but i can't get the site up at the moment (warehouse.co.uk)

I like the Isabella Oliver one, although it looks a bit skinny, and I'm a bit scared of my arse right now. It feels like I've got a couple of beanbags stuffed in my pants.

Of course I shall try Topshop: be rude not to. And Debs is always a good bet.

I'm so blimmin' knackered, that's the problem. Have any of you spotted any dresses that have wowed you recently?

Anyone know if the Warehouse Maternity range is available instore?

I shall investigate.

Love Warehouse.

is online only - too short notice i guess

Isabella Oliver v flattering, cut well, not clingy.

if worried about the bum area, can strongly recommend mamaspanx tights for smooth lines, about £18 but are excellent, like magic knickers for bumps.

exactly.

I'm really pee-ed off with thematernitycollection. My lovely friend gave me a £40 voucher for my birthday, and chose the dress a month ago. As it's hire, I didn't want to order too early, and they claimed they delivered next day.

OTOH, they were very apologetic, and agreed to refund the gift-voucher as cash as an apology.

I'll just have to keep myself stocked up with fattening food so I can stay on my feet long enough on Friday.

Mamaspanx? Never heard of them - hilarious name. Maybe I'll pop to Selfridges. Underwear dept. is fantastic, and they might well have something 'round the £80 mark.

I'll miss London when we move...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

You can get the Mamaspanx (they're tights by the way) in John Lewis.
