Help finding a wedding guest dress!

I need help finding a suitable dress for a wedding as a 33-week pregnant woman. I'd like to look cute in photos, but pregnancy acne and hyperpigmentation have affected my body confidence. I'm searching for a comfortable and maternity-friendly dress, but the maxi dresses I've tried don't fit well due to my larger chest, which causes the waistline to cut off halfway across my breasts. Since I’m large-breasted, I’d prefer something I could wear a normal bra with. Plus, I need to consider a baby bump as well. Any suggestions? Where should I look? What type of dress suits me?

What's your budget OP?

Asos have some pretty good maternity options. Other end of the scale Isabella Oliver do some great wrap dresses that could be suitable.

When is the wedding and what colours etc suit you?

@Bunny2021 That's another issue; it's a winter wedding. I'm definitely not going for bright colors and don't want to spend more than £150 on a dress. Wedding is in two weeks. My preferred colors are pastel pink, light rose, or silver tone. Thanks xx

Tiffany rose has some lovely maternity gowns. I bought one for a wedding when I was pregnant. It looked great and was comfy.

I also then sold it on eBay afterwards and made a few quid back!

Thank you for the message. I checked on Tiffany rose, but it seems they are over budget. Regardless, I appreciate you sharing xx

Have you tried Vinted? A maternity dress for a wedding is exactly the type of thing that would be on there as it would probably only be worn once. If you are not sure of sizing you can always ask the seller to provide some more detailed measurements.
