I don't want to have a pregnant 'frumpy summer' Help me find some pretty dresses!

[Disenchanted]

Please!!

don't look at the price tag

wrap over dresses or the empire lines are good though not seen any yet though debenhams might. where i ma there are not many maternity places

these are worth getting knocked up for, and you can sell them on ebay afterwards

har har at the first one coming in size 10 or size 12
yeah right

dresses are hard imo

I lumbered wafted about in linen trous and non-mat kaftan tops

Those LuluSapphire ones are lovely.....

Disenchanted - on the School run dress thread earlier this week, every single one of us expectant mums went and ordered one of these skirts - they're only 6 quid!!!

I can't do miniskirts!

I agree with Mrs Badger when you are heavily preg dresses look tent like - much easier to do separates as there are lots of empire line tuic style tops around you don't have to be restricted to Mat wear either, linen trousers or 3/4 jeans are good to dress up or down then.

I have seen a worrying amount of mini skirts in the H%M and Topshop maternity ranges their is more material in the belly-hugging band than the skirt bit - eeek That is for yer young mum with stick legs I think. I am far too over t'hill for those shenanigans!!

Cripes terrible spelling and grammar there I apologise!

I actually found dresses quite easy - so long as they hug under the bump rather than hang straight down from it. Gap are stocking maternity wear this summer, they must have something nice there. I also bought some stuff by Ghost - secondhand or seconds from ebay bias cut is a govd shape for a pg body so long as you are not also a pearshape.

ah, I am a pear
much harder

How about empire line dresses, like this one www.everydaymaternity.com/tie-back-dress-p-248.html

Or this fab red one www.everydaymaternity.com/red-ruffle-dress-p-211.html

I preferred dresses, as there were no clingy waste bands, but beware on wrap dresses, you may need a vest underneath, unless you are brave.
