Good place to buy an outfit for Wedding

Hi everyone!

I have a Wedding to attend in October this year and I need to find something to wear to accommodate my growing belly :bellygrowing:
The dress code is semi formal. Can anyone recommend any shops that are in Brisbane area that sell reasonably priced maternity wear?

I would also be open to on-line stores...

Thanks!! :D

ASOS (UK) has gorgeous maternity clothes at good prices, including pretty ****tail dresses. Free shipping too!

I bought my regular size and it was fine. I think they have a size conversion chart with measurements on the site though, if you want to be extra sure...

I bought a Ripe Maternity dress online for a wedding when I was 17 weeks (third pregnancy, so I was already pretty big) and then went to their store for a dress to wear to another wedding when I was 38 weeks. I LOVED both the dresses and the first one I can wear when I'm not preggy. Probably the most comfortable dress i've ever worn

Thanks Ladies! :) I checked out Asos they looked very nice. I was thinking of also looking at patterns. That way I can choose the material.

Glowmamma at Windsor has some nice clothes and dresses as well if you are near there? I dont think they are on the 'cheap' side of dresses but they do have some nice clothes there.

I went to a wedding when i was 30 weeks pregnant and i wore a normal Tokito dress from Myer that was just a bigger size that have a tie waste. that is always an option as well?

Ebay have heaps and heaps of dresses. I got one for $28 delivered and it gorgeous! Worth a look for sure.

I went to a wedding at 4m pg and TBH I found that a normal dress worked well. I made sure it wasn't tight (ie no corsets or wiring) but I reckon a jersey dress will showcase the bump and can be worn to other semi-formal events easily after the event.

I just don't like buying dresses I can only wear once!

My asos dress is jersey fabric and it looked good at 7 months pregnant and seven months post pregnancy

www(dot)birdsnest(dot)com is pretty good. Some of the stuff can be a bit expensive, but it's nice stuff.

Hey Ladies,

Thanks for all your suggestions...I am also going to just head out to the shops and browse some of the dresses out at the moment are quite accommodating :) I want to look radiant - even if I don't feel it :lol:
