What to wear?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

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

They have boutiques in Melbourne only but there are two stockists in ACT:

Stockists in Australian Capital Territory
Mama Wear
59 Wollongong Street
Fyshwick ACT 2069
02 6280 7736

Motherly Instincts
Shop 17 Homeworld 150-180 Soward Way
Tuggeranong ACT 2905
02 6293 4452

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!
