Maternity dress for graduation?

8 replies

Hello,

I have my graduation coming up at the end of July and have no idea of what to wear. I will be 31 weeks pregnant at the time and I really don't want to feel uncomfortable, but still want to look great!

I am 5'9 and a size 14 and quite 'busty' so was thinking more along the lines of a maxi dress and 'dressy' flats?

I would love some suggestions of nice maternity stores where I could get a lovely dress (not really fussed about the colour.

Thanks!

What's your budget?

This is lovely, as is this and this and every other dress on their site

Anything from Isabella Oliver will look great I am sure and they have a sale on at the moment. It almost makes me want to be pregnant again, but not quite!
You will look stunning.

Eek, I have just taken advantage of the sale too! Amazing!

Gorgeous dress! A top tip from someone who wears academic dress a lot, tho (!!): you need to make sure you can attach your hood. So, you will get a gown, and then the hood is like a v-shape bit of silk which goes over the top. For men, it goes under their tie (designed for blokes, clearly ) but for women, you either need a safety pin or a strategic button. You may well be able to fix it to that white dress.
But bear in mind that the hood is heavy and can pull your entire top up, giving even the flattest of ladies massive boobs emphasized by a big v!!!

What I mean is that dress 3 there has nothing to attach it to, and dress 2 doesn't have much either (you don't want a safety pin in the middle of a gorgeous dress!)
