Evening wear at 39 weeks...HELP

14 replies

DarrellRivers · 03/03/2010 09:37

Last night was invited to a black tie do in 3 weeks and I may well be 39 weeks or have delivered.
If delivered, no worries, will not be going, but if still pregnant then will be attending, which is good in some ways but bad in others (i will have a large large bump)
So my plan is to buy dress on-line week prior to event and then return if deliver before party.
I want something sparkly, theme is 'diamonds are forever'
for started isabella oliver short sleeved wrap dress not sparkly though
I am short, so would prefer short dress as have got good legs and am size 8, mainly all bump, and boobs so would prefer some short sleeves

I have a brown chiffon Jojo dress in a 10 you could borrow (I wore it at 36wks) but it's not in any way sparkly...

Asos is usually a good bet but nothign sparkly atm

is this too 'day dress' bargain at £14.50

How about a plain dress with some over the top diamante costume jewelry? There's plenty on Ebay.

Anything here?

Is there a place near you that rents Evening Dresses? I did this when pregnant and found that lots of floaty ones are fine and have room for bump.

am quite taken with the longer length red ASOS dress
very reasonable long length in purple and then will shower with gold necklace and earrings
Thankyou Mrs B, and for the offer of the brown chiffon
