Another wedding guest one - dress me for two weddings

After years without a wedding in our social circle we have two coming up.

The first is in September. Reception invite only at a nice country pub/hotel type place. The groom works with DH so I don’t particularly know the couple.

The second is in November. Full invite (although details still being worked out as this is their third try at getting hitched thanks to C-19). Civil ceremony and a more casual type reception (I think). Possible Catholic blessing (but we suspect that will be done on a separate date).

Now the catch. I’ll be five months pregnant at the first, and seven at the second. Toddler is invited to the second so I need to be able to breastfeed.

Otherwise 5’5”, size 8 when I’m not pregnant. Quite pale and dark blonde. Most comfortable in black/neutrals (but obviously might have to break that preference).

Ideally one outfit that will do for both but if they’d do double duty for other things I could consider two different options. Either a bargain or something I can wear for the next five months plus.

Not the dark colors you were looking for, but I wore this for a wedding during my pregnancy and loved it. I particularly liked that it was silk - the fabric was really lovely. They also have a maxi length version and one with a blue, more abstract/less floral print.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
