Finding Pregnancy dresses

12 replies

DeadDoorpost · 12/02/2019 12:53

Got DB wedding end of June to go to. Not a bridesmaid, but would prefer to match the colour scheme if possible of greens, reds and peach. Preferably a floral dress.

I'll be 6 months along by then, iirc. Not really paying much attention. Would prefer to look pregnant in the dress and not "fat" like I did last pregnancy. I seem to only have a smallish bump that gets mistaken for fat (size 18). I'm 5'8.

Any recommendations for either maternity dresses or just plus size dresses would be great. I'm already having a meltdown over looking fat in the photos. (I know, it's their day, but I have some serious body image problems and tempted to avoid photos completely which will upset DB as he's very fond of me)

I wore this dress to a wedding when I was approx 6 months pregnant, I’m a similar size to you and definitely looked pregnant rather than fat (my bump was huge though)

Tiffany Rose, seraphine & Isabella Oliver are all lovely but also expensive.

Try eBay & this fb seconds group for some at bargain prices.

Do the ASOS dresses fit well, @Eminybob ?

That one is a bit gapey on the cleavage so I needed to pin it. I have huge norks though.

I bought a dress for a wedding from Isabella Oliver - definitely on the pricey side but it's gorgeous quality and fits so nicely.
