Wedding is evening only event, I'll be 32 weeks, huge, wonderful bump, big ole tits and currently a size 14.

In fact look at profile pics and that's me.

So anyway, need a dress.

Was thinking one of those to the floor jobs so I don't have to worry about having pale legs and flat shoes will be ok with that style (have to do flats at the mo).

Have ordered this to try on from Topshop What do you think?

Any other suggestions?

Go for original one. It's trendy, maternity and cheap and you'll look gorgeous in anything anyway

NBG - Ohhh bought that DP one anyway and will see how it looks, thanks.

Pinkchick - ddin't think you at all stalkerish, LOL!!!! Would be nervous letting you buy anything for me, but then I guess I can always get an exchange aye, hmmm, well if they DO have that pick/orange thing we both like and it is under £60 and in a size 14, then hell yeah let's go for it!

Fio - hello love, thanks for those links.
Yeah, I'm not a real print girl. I'm actually not a real colur chick either, I'm very norty and like black and plain!

Frascati - you lovley lady

Spawn - lovely pics. Doesn't your youngest look like your DH! Blimey
Lovley children. Anyway, yes dresses, that brown one looked lovely. I can't believe I'm looking at maxi dresses, but it does seem the perfect option for a pale, 32 week pregnant, needs to wear flats, bird.

frisbyrat - thanks for link

Hey Thomcat, I went to a wedding last Friday at 37 weeks and wore This which is actually quite long, with this necklace and some flat cheapy pumps in the same sort of turquoise and felt FAB. Got so many compliments too so a thorough recommendation !!

Just realised the pic isn't that clear. The dress is chocolate brown with blue dots - hence the necklace/shoes etc...

i have this in a 12/14 - you'd be very welcome to borrow it

i wore it to a party with a long thingy (forgotten word - postnatal brain) of fake pearls - looked quite good - smart but not too formal

would need heels, even small ones, imo though

Tutter, that's a lovley dress and an even lovlier offer but am determined not to wear anything other than flats as have a schlap there and I don't really do heels at the best of times, plus my legs are very pale as they haven't seen any sun for fasr too long now! LOL at you at the pearl thingy btw!

Tokentotty - lovley dress, really nice, but gain, have the pale leg problem again with that.


I have a lovley little black maternity drss that I might resort to with leggins underneath to help plae leg prob if the maxi dresses are shit.
Not really into the idea of a full length dress, feel too feminine but seems the perfect solution for a weddign really.
