Me and DP just got the invitation to one of his best mates wedding which is the 20th of Feb. They spent quite alot of money on the wedding so no doubt it will be very posh so i need to look really nice. Trouble is i will be roughly 18 weeks pregnant so will have maybe a big ish bump (im already showing now) so what should i wear? dress, skirt and nice top, pants and a nice top??
Does anyone know of a maternity shop that sells outfits for special occasions in canberra, or even an online store??
Hey there,
I got a really nice dress from Ripe for a wedding that I went to when I was about 20 weeks and have also worn to an engagement party that I attended 3 days before DD was born :D
They have boutiques in Melbourne only but there are two stockists in ACT:

Hope that helps! They have some lovely stuff so might be worth checking out, if you are close by!
Theres nice stores around i just got bigger sizes in stuff i liked.
Oh i just had the greatest idea, theres a shop here called city chic and they have some gorgeous dresses i might just get one in a size bigger. But ill still check out mama wear and motherly instincts just incase they have nice stuff as city chic is rather $$$
Thanks girlies :)
I would wear a dress - doesn't have to be a flash dress - but I would dress it up with accessories!
Maternity Revolution have an online store and have great specials.
I found heaps of dresses that weren't maternity that were bump friendly though, so look around at all the cheaper chain stores first ;)
I would check ebay too - ebay is great for maternity stuff!
yeah i was thinking a dress also, and i have to stay away from black so i have to find a colourful dress that will make me look nice rather than a whale.
I will check out ebay, also target had nice dresses last time i was there.. hmm so much to think about!
I had this same issue when I was pg with DD
Here is the thread I discussed it in Formal Wear When Pregnant
Empire lines are great for pg women. The maxi dresses that are out now may be a good option - you get some colourful prints and they'l be cool if it's really hot on the day.
mamawear in Canberra have a hire service for their really swisho nice formal maternity stuff...have a look at the website...I have been super super impressed with their service... I bought some maternity bras from there just before lunchtime last week and they arrived the next day.......super impressive service and communication. I cant rave about them enough!
Just an update- i found the perfect dress and it was on sale!!!!
City Chic - DRESS BOW TIE TWIGGY
Thats the dress and it looks gorgeous on!! Im so happy. Now to find matching shoes and bag.
