HELP -maternity dress needed for posh wedding

13 replies

deaconblue · 25/01/2008 13:36

I will be 30 weeks pg by the wedding on 1st aand it is essential that I don't look like I am wearing a marquee. Was thinking maybe plain black wrap dress with some brightly coloured jacket and possibly those brightly coloured tights the yoof seem to be wearing?
What do you reckon? suggestions please. and would said tights make my already chunky cankles look like more sausage-like?
god also need smart, glam shoes that aren't very high heeled. Can I get mary janes or are they "out"?

something like this where I could just do up top button and then be able to wear again

oh to look like that model on your mate's website, all slim and big bump.

OP posts:
Tutter · 25/01/2008 14:01

indeed

will havea word and ask for her to be replaced with a bloated whale

she could have asked me to model for example

btw have just seen pic of me wearing teal dress - i wore it witha little cami underneath asam not mahoosive of nork (so insufficient cleavage)

deaconblue · 25/01/2008 19:46

good idea, have recently bought maternity ones that cover bump too. Have been worrying about saggy norkage at a wedding as I look awful in non wired bra but wired too uncomfortable. Might have to tape them skywards with gaffer
