Please help a pregnant woman find a velvet dress

So I’ve become fixated on having a dark green velvet dress to wear to a few events this Christmas.

There are plenty about BUT I’m almost 20wks pregnant so not many, if any in maternity.
Have tried one from Boohoo but the fit is terrible.

Was hoping to get away with a non-maternity as I’m not huge but that’s not working either.

Can anyone suggest anywhere I can find a dark green or at a push dark blue or black version of something like this 🙏🏻

New look have a similar one, but I REALLY don’t want red / burgundy 😬

Seasalt have some, but I don’t know if they’re stretchy to accommodate a bump.

Thanks @countrybunny, do love that but not the off the shoulder aspect #fussy
I have a 2yr old so she’d probably just pull it down 😏

Asos have this blue one, I do think the one above that potty has linked to is lovely though.

I bought one yesterday.. Not sure how to link, but it's from Apricot in new look. It's stretchy so fits really nicely.

Not pregnant but just ordered this in the sale and looks like it might be roomy/stretchy and bff if that's of any use later?

Thank you. Those are all great options.

Another lot of deliveries coming my way then, if the Royal Mail knew every package contained green dresses they’d think I was really odd 😄

I don't think they had it in green but I've bought a gorgeous one from GAP. There's extra money off with 'BFGAP' at the moment but there's always a discount code of one sort or another there...

www.gap.co.uk/gap/maternity-velvet-tie-waist-crossover-dress/000384925.html I bought the red and the black but kept the black as the red caught the light too much over my boobs and looked a bit strange! The colour was lovely though so if you're not too large chested it might be a good option.
