Need outfit to cover 3 month pregnant tummy, and in WHITE

Hello, I'm attending an occasion next month when I hope to be just about to have my 12 week scan. The dress code is white (I know) and I was wondering what kind of thing might work to cover up the bump as far as possible. I'm quite curvy so there's already a noticeable tummy despite first time pregnancy, and I can see people looking. Would love advice as I obviously can't ask friends/family for theirs! Thanks!

Thinking outside the box... an alternative would be to have a private scan before the party, so that you could then feel confident in telling people you're pregnant? otherwise it sounds like it could be a bit of a nightmare in terms of trying to hide your bump plus presumably hide not drinking alcohol?

Hadn't thought of this, how much do they cost?

Hi OP congratulations!

I have just got this dress in navy for summer - it's very unlikely anyone would spot a bump in it ! (Not that I have one!) the detail on the top half would draw attention upwards

Might be more than you want to spend for the event but it's lovely fabric quite thick so won't be see through at all which is always my worry with white !

How about this one? Watch it in the video, looks much nicer than the photo! Looks like something that you might get a few months wear out of afterwards, there's space for a growing bump.

Agree a blazer is your friend and avoid tying anything over your waist.

Some good reductions at coast

Did you find anything OP?

Depending on how smart you want to go & how much you veer off your usual style, which might give things away, but I think top & sleek trousers & jacket will break up lines more than a dress. I wore 90s style fit & flare trousers to a wedding with a loose knotted tie top with a jacket to hide post lock down tummy (not pregnancy 😉)) and it did the job. Zara have lots …. Good luck…..
