As the title says really. We're having some family pictures taken in a couple of weeks time and I'm looking for an outfit to accentuate my 26 week bump. I had a couple of things I liked last time but this pregnancy I just feel frumpy in everything.
So please inspire me and post links to your favourite feel-good maternity outfits or dresses! Dressy or casual, anything as long as you love it! :flower:
 
a nice white flowy skirt like this

with a cute bump hugging top. I just bought this one and it looks adorable with the skirt so right now it's my favorite summery outfit

Oh, great start, thank you!!! I'm in the UK unfortunately but will totally keep my eyes peeled for something like that. I can see that being really nice for pictures and comfy for the rest of the summer.
 
I truly suggest embracing the bump - I didn't do it last time, though it was winter so it was a bit harder... but I feel so much better now and far less frumpy that I'm wearing clothes that show it off!

Good luck with your search, make sure you post what you decide on :D
 
Have you had a look on ASOS? I've bought quite a few dresses for special occasions off there.
This is one of my fav's:

I absolutely love that dress..but unfortunately I couldn't wear it...my boobs got ginormous!!
 
I quite like all the midi dresses that are around at the moment. They're nice and fitted so show your bump off perfectly. But ASOS do do lovely stuff but sometimes they can be a tad on the expensive side!

Agreed, that's really cute! Unfortunately I don't have the legs to pull that off but would imagine it looks gorgeous if you're petite.
 
I strongly suggest wearing something that is tight under the bust line. This helps show off your curves. If I knew your body type..it would help to give some suggestions...but I will try to throw out some ideas away.

Here's one idea. As you know, black is very slimming so maybe try finding the perfect fitted black dress and top it off by finding a cute thin shall to go over it like this

There is also this option that I think is super cute. It's like a Dress shirt looking dress with the thin belt under the bust...I love it!

Shopdivine and unicamelrose has nice dresses... I have alot of sky brand dresses that I still fit an will throughout my whole pg:)
 
LOVE those blue maxi dresses! I'm a bit on the chubby side, but quite tall, so something like that would be awesome if I could find it here. Still really liking the white crinkle skirt as well.

this is my favorite because its quite plain and i like to accesorise with different shoes etc, i have this dress myself and it hangs just right on your bump to show it off and because of the tie its more suited to bigger busts too :) x
 
I don't have a bump yet but I've seen lots of pics of ladies wearing pretty maxi or midi dresses without a waistline and then they belt it above their bump. It's so cute Abd you don't have to buy a specific maternity style- so can wear after pregnancy too.

Edited to say yes to all those above pics-- so cute! Exactly what I was thinking.
 
I think maxi dresses are so cute. I wasn't sold on them until I tried one on and now I have to get myself a couple. I have yet to see someone who looks bad in a maxi dress :)
 
This is nice and comes in different colours. https://www.newlook.com/shop/matern...ity-jade-gathered-jersey-maxi-dress_245745832

I really like this to show off your bump.
