Evening wedding reception ..

[xJessie91x]

Me and my partner will be going to an evening do for a friend at the end of may. I will be 36+4 and wondering what you all think I should wear?! I will have to buy something as nothing suitable fits me now lol.
Im usually a size 10 and Bump is all out front so I was thinking a maxi dress - -Any other suggestions? Also where is best to look online so far I like one on new look, would post a pic but iPhones won't let me so will try a link!

Oooohhh it said low stock but won't let me add to basket

i think its really nice

New Look has some lovely dresses - I went to a evening reception a few weeks ago and wore a black/white polka dot dress but they don't seem to have it now

A big plus is that is highly unlikely someone will be there in the same dress...

We have 4 Weddings this summer 2 before baby and 2 afterwards. I bought a dress from Monsoon as I hope to be able to wear the same thing to the post-baby Weddings (as it's not 'actual' maternity wear) and it actually looked nicer on my bump than the maternity stuff I tried which was all a bit sack-like!

This is the one I got: https://uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.38/3531680810
But I tried on about 10 different maxi dresses there and they all looked lovely - I was really impressed!

Hey

My brother is getting married next weekend, and I will be 37+5!!! I looked at buying but also hiring a maternity dress. There are loads of companies that will hire dresses, some cost the earth but others are really nice and cost very little. Might be useful to Google and see if there is anything suitable?? Hope you find something nice!!!

If you go for a maxi dress you'll more than likely get away with a non maternity one that you can continue to wear afterwards. Not much point in buying more maternity wear at this stage. I have several pre pregnancy maxis that all look fine now. They fit beautifully over my bump and I have a rather large 'all up front' bump!

Same here, I got a regular maxi dress in matalan in my usual size and wore it to a wedding last week, I should be able to wear it after baby comes too. Also with a maxi yoc can wear flats and / or hide swollen ankles. Mine only began to swell a couple of days before the wedding so I was glad of the maxi!

Thanks ladies, thts a good idea not buying maternity will try Matalan as hadnt thought of there yet! x

Asos does loads of maternity dresses

I can still fit into most of my pre pregnancy dresses with empire lines. I have a huge bump but not put weight on elsewhere. Seems a shame to buy maternity stuff at such a late stage... perhaps try a non maternity dress? Then you could wear it afterwards too
