Please critique my (heavily pregnant) christening guest outfit choices for tomorrow

Any thoughts on which one to wear tomorrow? At 39w pg the choices in my wardrobe are rather limited! Neither colour is ideal for my skin tone but I will be bronzing up a bit. I've also belatedly realised that the metallic heels are the only appropriate non-black shoes I own. However I might have to change them halfway through as they are on the snug side.

I prefer the yellow, mainly because it is more summery.
But both look good.

AssassinatedBeauty · 16/06/2018 22:51

I like the yellow a little better, especially as it's a christening. I don't think anyone would begrudge you wearing comfy shoes at 39 weeks pregnant, so I'd wear black ones if they were comfiest.

Mayhemmumma · 16/06/2018 22:51

Yellow dress black shoes

mummmy2017 · 16/06/2018 22:52

What a neat bump you have...
Yellow. It's cheerful you look great in both.

Cabbagepatch91 · 16/06/2018 22:52

You look good in both. Just go with what feels comfiest.

kocerhan3 · 16/06/2018 22:52

Yellow looks great, but metallic shoes rock with a dark colour - you can't go wrong here. :)

RailReplacementBusService · 16/06/2018 22:52

Either is fine but I would go with yellow myself

3boysandabump · 16/06/2018 22:54

Yellow

FadedRed · 16/06/2018 23:00

Whatever outfit and shoes you are comfortable in. At 39 weeks you deserve a medal for attending. (The yellow is lovely for a happy occasion IMO, but the first rule is your comfort.)

myrtleWilson · 16/06/2018 23:04

Both look great and to be honest at 39wks pregnant if you turned up in a duvet no one should bat an eyelid...

Candyflip · 16/06/2018 23:04

I would wear the black with black shoes and then smarten it up with jewellery. I like the necklace you are wearing in first pic. I hate black shoes with light clothing as it always looks a bit ‘school shoes’ to me.

Hellbentwellwent · 16/06/2018 23:06

Go yellow with a good pedicure and then if you need to kick them off you can go cliche and be pregnant and barefoot Grin

MollyHuaCha · 16/06/2018 23:06

The yellow dress is lovely.

FrogCow · 16/06/2018 23:09

Whatever the fuck you like. You’re 39 weeks pregnant.

NorthernLurker · 16/06/2018 23:10

You look great in both. Just wear which ever you think works best with your most comfortable shoes. If you go with the black then a bright bag/pashmina/necklace could look lovely.

Christeningoutfit · 16/06/2018 23:23

Thank you all - I think based on the replies I will see how summery the weather is looking tomorrow morning and go from there!

Can I ask where your black shoes are from, OP?

melodybirds · 17/06/2018 01:19

You look fab in both. Both dresses fit you well and are stylish.

HouseOfLynx · 17/06/2018 01:26

Either!

Christeningoutfit · 17/06/2018 07:14

@bottomofthefoodchain they are from Office but about 10 years ago and I swapped the original straps for silver ones from a long-retired pair of heels.

Yellow looks lovely, black is nice but looks a bit more casual like you would wear with flip flops in the day

PhyllisWig · 17/06/2018 08:56

Your photos both just made me grin - you look lovely in both.

I have a slight preference for the black but the yellow is such a happy colour.

That was v helpful wasn't itConfused

BabyItsAWildWorld · 17/06/2018 09:33

The black accentuates your beautiful pregnant body so I'd wear that and flaunt it.

Your bump is gorgeous and neat and the lower neck line gives you more shape overall.

I'd add some summery type jewellery such as dangley earrings. I think black is summery, just cool sophisticated summer.

Honestly you look gorgeous.

FlorenceLyons · 17/06/2018 10:13

You look fantastic in both - especially for 39 weeks pregnant! I'd go for whichever combo you think will be comfiest.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 17/06/2018 10:21

I say black. Dd was looking over my shoulder as I clicked on the pics and said yellow one 'is a granny dress'. I agree, sorry.
The black one looks lovely and elegant.
