Please help me find some nice maternity outfits for my honeymoon

Pregnant with a surprise baby and I’m slightly gutted that my belated and sickeningly expensive luxury hedonistic honeymoon has turned into a babymoon. Baby will be lovely when he is here but this was very much looked forward to- but pregnancy anxiety, HG and not being able to enjoy a bottle of champagne with my husband is pretty upsetting.

insurance would pay out because of HG but we are going. Not going to get a chance to do this for quite a few years, if ever- as we already have a toddler and finding childcare for both of them won’t be a given.

No way of delaying it, just rolling with it and hoping for some nice dresses to make me feel special with my mocktail.

i have some lovely comfortable gold Russell and Bromley wedges and a mixture of bags in black, gold and raffia. I’ll hit up Zara for some nice costume earrings too.

I’ll be about 24 weeks which based on my last pregnancy I will have a bump. I’m small framed so sizing up in normal clothes doesn’t usually work as the back is all loose and I end up looking like a sack of potatoes. Anything normal and not maternity needs to be snug.

so what I’m looking for is for some nice dresses or co ords, plain- in autumnal shades like pumpkin or khaki, and classic black and brown.

I do not want floral or ruffles or ditsy cute.

i don’t mind bodycon or having my belly out. It’s my honeymoon and I want sexy maternity wear. I am really struggling with finding things that will make me feel good. I also don’t want to spend absolute megabucks because I will never have another baby. (husband has had a vasectomy 🤦‍♀️) probably around £40-50 for a dress, more for a two piece outfit.

happy for Vinted links- I like to spend on holidays and not clothes. Try and buy secondhand where possible.

Just for further info- I’m 30, hourglass shape, short legs, 32e, size 10, usually shop at ASOS, Zara, Stradivarius, Beskha, Monki.
