I will be seeing people I haven't seen for 18 years and would like to look half way decent.

However, I will be 14 weeks pregnant and, whilst it will be obvious to people who know me well that I am pg, I want to avoid just looking like I've got a fat tummy. I will have a reasonable bump but not sure it will be big enough for "proper" maternity clothes iyswim ?

The reunion is just in a meal and drinks in a pub, so nothing too dressy is required.

I'm 5' 7", normally a 12-14, blonde hair, 34 years old (pics on profile)

Help me please !!

Till at 14wks preg with No.2 I was deffo showing so you might be a bit more noticeable than you think. But I would think nice fitted dark jeans then a white shirt longish with some funky beads or chunky silver stuff.

Not sure what your style is but my suggestion -
yes to the dark jeans then tops which skim over tummy like
this or this or this

nice high heels, jewellery, bag

Clure · 22/05/2009 17:33

Alternatives, dresses which have an empire line. Some nice maxi's around like this
Or a style like this though not sure if thats a bit too formal

Tillyscoutsmum · 22/05/2009 17:56

Thanks ... quite like that paisley one but would need a decent strapless bra and something for over it.

What do you think would make me look most obviously pregnant ? Was thinking wrap type tops/dresses maybe ?

Yes to wrap style if you wanted to look more obviously pregnant!

Tillyscoutsmum · 22/05/2009 18:07

What do you think of this Probably over leggings or skinnies ?

Its quite nice - do you think you will have that much of a bump at 14 weeks? Would look good with skinnies.

Tillyscoutsmum · 22/05/2009 18:15

Probably not as much as the pic but should be a bump there (there is atm at 10 weeks). I just want something to accentuate a bump so that everyone doesn't just mistake me for being fat

Right then - skinnies. Mine don't fit so will probably get maternity ones so I can get some wear out of them.

Any ideas on shoes ?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks

having seen your profile photos, may I suggest a sack - you appear to have the sort of face and figure which will look fabulous whatever!

Tillyscoutsmum · 22/05/2009 18:49

Awwww thank you The wedding pics were after hours of work though - I don't normally look like that

Tilly check out Isabella Oliver on ebay loads of stuff which has been barely worn way cheaper than buying it new. I bought a couple of dresses when I was preggers with Lachie and they were like new.
