Help me find a green dress...

I have to wear a green dress to a very dressed down ocassion next weekend. I want something lovely and casual, nothing at all fancy. I was thinking maybe something with an empire line that will nicely flow over my bump (26 weeks almost).

Cost isn't really an issue but obviously not ridiculously priced

Could dress it down with flat flip flops, or up, with heels (if you're feeling up to it)

Not cheap, but Isabella Oliver has really good resale value on Ebay.

I am curious. Why does it have to be green?

Ooh fifisworld I love the miss selfridge/littlewoods one, does it cling to lumps and bumps or skim? I am size 12 (ish!), tall but with a very wobbly horrible belly that if I'm not careful can look pg(I'm not, and DD is 20m so no excuse lol)

fifisworld · 16/06/2008 14:41

No its lovely on...i had ds2 6 months ago and im also a bit wobbly , but its fine..i wore it last weeks as well and just put a pair of bridget jones pants on under it but they didnt make much difference really

Do you wear a bra with it though fifi? I've just noticed the back. Sorry Dazedemma back to you! I saw a lovely dress in Monsoon today I'll try to link to it later if someone hasn't beaten me to it. It was nice but empire cut so looked dreadful on me, I thought of this thread though because it would have been perfect for someone pg to wear.

I can't find it on their website how annoying. Anyway it was sort of a teal colour would that be any good? Primark also had some good ones but they were SHORT.

... but not a real green dress, that's cruel ...

southeastastra · 16/06/2008 17:52

lol nqc

fifisworld · 16/06/2008 21:12

I wore one with the clear strap across the back, but the backs not really that low and you could only see a tiny bit of the clear strap
