Need to hide a pregnancy at a wedding

127 replies

Probionic · 25/06/2024 19:05

It’s a small wedding and I don’t want to detract any attention from the couple as there are already issues.

Will only be 12ish weeks but I have a flat stomach and it’s my second pregnancy so I’m anticipating a bit of a bump.

I usually wear quite slinky stuff so a floral tent may as well be a sign saying ‘up the duff’.

I’m looking for a cami dress with an artful ruffle or lots of detail. Maybe one of those tiered maxi dresses. But everything on ASOS is too sexy for a church wedding or too surrendered wife.

Has anyone seen anything that may help?

this would hide a bump well I think

Is it not going to be obvious though when you don’t have the wine/cheese/rare meat? This is what gave me away at a wedding rather than bump.

I’m happy to nurse a small glass of wine with my dinner and I don’t restrict those things during pregnancy as long as I’m happy with the storage and provenance (and at this location I will be) so this shouldn’t give me away.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Lots to look at.

Just talk about dieting and it's so hard to lose baby weight and weight just seems to on so much more quickly now.

I’m a PT and frequently seen in a sports bra and shorts so this won’t fly!

Could you be preparing for a gym photo shoot or something so you are in a cutting phase? Maybe marketing for your PT business?

Good tip for a bottomless brunch I have coming up.

However i’m not concerned about the food and drink elements (as I’ve said I don’t avoid these things unless I have concerns about the quality/storage/temp) and I know two glasses of wine over an entire pregnancy won’t cause FAS- I just need to hide what I’m sure will be a baby bump!

Something like thismaybe loose enough at the front, or if you don’t mind something shorter, something like This .

What are we calling this style of dress?

this colour isn’t right for me but I’d like to find something similar

Do you mean the first longer dress? I’m not sure, maybe something like a pleated cami dress

minipie · 26/06/2024 18:05

For the second shorter style I’d call it a swing or trapeze shape dress

Illpickthatup · 26/06/2024 18:08

Would this work? Comes in a few different colours.

Yes a trapeze dress I think.

Probionic · 26/06/2024 18:30

I bloody love this and would be perfect but far too short for this occasion

Sorry, I think I clicked the wrong link on one you said you liked and it showed me a short one! 😂

The model is 5'9" if that helps? 😬

I like this but don’t think it’s my colour palette. Too cool, almost neon.

I wish this was in a lovely orange or true lime or olive green or just black or brown
