Formal wear when pregnant?

[Erin_25]

I'm not sure where you can buy them, there are several online shops but some of them are a bit expensive. I got a great dress, wore when I was 36wks....bought on ebay - love it. Thought I would never wear it again & what do you know I have a wedding in Oct & Nov.

Only other suggestion is buying a dress in a bigger size, not a maternity one. Like perhaps a Maxi dress if you want something long. I have a beach wedding in Nov & will look into a maxi dress with belt for that one.

I was going to suggest ebay also. If you can get a bargain then even if you don't like it you can always sell it again. My brothers wedding I will be 25weeks and I am going to look on ebay for a maternity formal dress. Good luck finding your dress. Some dresses that are not maternity dresses are loose enough around the middle for your belly if you can find one of those. The only problem with a normal dress is you have to watch the front of the dress is not several inches shorter then the back of the dress.

I think a dress with an empire waist would work well if there is nothing you like in the way of maternity dresses. You could just have it hemmed so it's level all the way around.

Try Pumpkin Patch, they have an online store where they have lots of great specials or even look in one of their stores. My friend picked up a gorgeous formal dress from one of their stores for only $30

I bought a formal dress from ripe maternity wear. It was a little expensive but it was soo gorgeous and I love it. I've worn it a few times since I bought it and it's the kind of dress I can put away for my next bub and could possibly wear even when not pregnant.

Thanks ladies. Will give all these ideas a go and let you know how I get on. Didn't want to leave it too long before I started looking but know that I will pop out quite a bit between now and then.
