Honeymoon outfits that hide bloat?! I’m desperate!

I’m 27, 5ft 4 and usually size 8 and quite slim built so all of my holiday outfits consist of fitted dresses, two pieces that show midriff and small bikinis

I’m 9 weeks pregnant, and it’s my third pregnancy in quite short succession due to miscarriages and I don’t know if it’s affected muscle memory but this time around after a meal I look about 6 months pregnant. It’s my honeymoon and we’re at quite a foody place so I want to eat and not feel self conscious.

I am trying to shop for things that will flatter a bloated tummy area, or hide atleast and it’s just the opposite of how I usually shop and I’m struggling to find anything I actually like. I’ve bought one dress from Zara that is quite flattering as it’s a satin type wrap dress with a beaded belt so the stomach area is well concealed but I can’t find anything else. Swimwear I’m totally stuck I tried a swimming costume thinking it might suck me in but it didn’t and I just looked fat.

Help me wise mnetters. I’m going to Greece and it’ll be hot. Oh and I love colour!

What about some nice floaty mini dresses? Free people is good for that shape of dress, great for hiding bump under and flattering afterwards too.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and honeymoon ❤️

How funny I was also going to suggest free people. If you get the app then delivery is always free.

Hello, hope you have a lovely honeymoon and all is well ♥️ I find this to be perfect for hiding a big belly. Give it a try it's sooo flattering and in lots of different colours. I've got the orange and the cream. www.freepeople.com/uk/shop/love-of-life-midi-dress/?color=111&countryCode=GB&gclid=CjwKCAjwiJqWBhBdEiwAtESPaCNLN12KCppYK5LY1BuA3EkdLtV3IIuix69kwaK6FhlNKSwHhIB-jRoCiWsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&inventoryCountry=GB&size=XS
