I need some help finding a dress for a wedding that hides my jelly belly and that i can feel comfortable in. I've also got quite broad shoulders so it cant be strapless. dont mind what colour, open to any. please help, weddings on saturday!

isadora dress

the blue one on the bottom row
I think its lovely, very striking colour. broad straps to lessen shoulders. v neck flattering on norks, nipped in then out for your tum

and not to worry about size 16, tis best size - I'm normally an 18-20 but currently 35wks pregnant and still convinced I look like Kylie

dizzydixies · 25/06/2008 21:46

dizzydixies · 25/06/2008 22:07

not all all!! if wedding is on Sat though you'd be silly/rude not to go daft in sales to give yourself at least a 'few' options lol

do you like dark colours/ plain/patterned/knee length/maxi?!?!?

need to give me some pointers lol

my favs are the hobbs blue one and the karen millen purple ones

dizzydixies · 25/06/2008 22:08

at tan - you can def wear the gold then!

gigglewitch · 25/06/2008 22:09

that gold one is just what i had in mind
I saw it in RL today and it looked lovely on a lady prob size 18 ish with curves

dizzydixies · 25/06/2008 22:10
jenniebee · 25/06/2008 22:12

honestly i'm open to anything, i'll try everything its just the fact that it all looks crap! tan will only last for a few days tho knowing my luck.
