    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.

    Hi Meadsie,

    there are some good things on eBay, but it can be a bit tricky buying with out trying I've found as everyone carries a bit differently. There's a store in Sydney which has a good range of brands and styles and I know they have evening/formal things too - they have a store in the Picadilly Centre on Pitt St and one at Killarney Heights.

    They're called Just Maternity and you'll find them on the web, but they don't have their range on line.

    Hope that helps!

    I am going out this weekend to try to find something to wear to a wedding on 6 June 2009 - will be 25 weeks pg when the wedding is on - I am going to try to find something that is relatively fitted around the bust and then just flows cause I am not sure how much I will change in 3 weeks but don't want to leave it too late to get something! We are going to Parramatta Westfields as we will be out that way after attending the Pregnancy, Babies and Children Expo at Rosehill Gardens this weekend

    I was in CityChick with my bestie a few weeks ago and they had some lovely evening wear in there that you could use for maternity easily. It is a bit on the exxy side but then you could always sell it on through a place like ebay?!
