Pregnant and in need of a graduation dress

5 replies

I am graduating next month and need something to wear. I will be 16 weeks pregnant by then so inbetween the 'has she gained weight or is she pregnant phase'.
I'm size 12ish, 5ft5 and 36.

Ideally I'm after a dress but no idea where to look as even my go to ASOS brings up the most ridiculous suggestions for graduation dresses.

Help/suggestions would be massively appreciated.

Congratulations - on both counts!

Will you be wearing a gown? (They’re optional at some institutions.) If so, your gown hire place will have sent instructions on how you’ll need to secure it to your clothes. If not, I guess you have no restrictions other than fit.

Do you have a budget? And are you happy to shop online or only in person?

Do you have colour restrictions? When I graduated we had to wear black or black and white, and it was a formal(ish) dress code. I wore a black mini skater dress, you can hardly see it under the gown anyway. Something similar might work for you, although I was 22 so I'd probably go for something longer now, e.g. this. What are you doing about shoes? I take it you want flats?

Thanks.

Yeah I will be wearing a gown, but no instructions on how to secure it as of yet.

Ideally online as a lot of the big shops have now closed down near me.

No budget but don't want to be spending £00's on something I may only wear once. Also no colour although my sash is a blue colour.

Heel wise, I will bring flats but also open to a small heel or boot.

Thanks
