Where can I get a nice maternity dress?

I am writing this in the hope everything is still ok by the time I will be wearing it, I have to go to a charity event next month, which is a trip to the dogs lol, but have been informed the ladies like to dress like WAG's so naturally me being me feels like crap when I hear this and want to look as sexy as possible lol.

By the time it happens, I will be just over 11 weeks (fingers crossed!), I am assuming I will be showing by then as I look like I have a belly now! The main reason I want to specifically go for maternity this early is just for comfort, most of the dresses I like look quite tight around the waist.

I tried the New Look website but that is down, checked ASOS but all the dresses are too short and tarty.

I think you could just get a nice jersey wrap dress rather than a specific maternity dress. Something jersey would have lots of give in it and still look nice. And probably be cheaper than going for special maternity at this stage. An actual maternity dress might be too voluminous at 11 weeks as they are designed for bumps all the way up to 40 weeks.
marks and spencer website had some nice dresses. I have a nice dress/top from dorothy perkins. They do maternity too. Also try Next. They have some nice jersey dress things anyway and a maternity range too.

Thanks Kat,

Yes a wrap would be good, with some nice shoes and jewellery. They are usually a nice length too. Don't want to look like a tarty WAG anyway, I am better than that! Pay day tomorrow so will have a look round.

If you have a sizeable budget I'd suggest an isabella oliver dress (her website or cheaper on ebay but not as much range).


Mamas and papas often do lovely tea dresses (best to look on website for full selection) or even topshops maternity range often do nice dresses

If you feel comfortable buying one online, you have tons of options. Motherhood.com, duematernity.com, apeainthepod.com, the list goes on. Just Google maternity clothes. There are some really cute ones that aren't that expensive. Because of the designs (being for a pregnant woman), you are probably safe buying one online without trying it on first.

Isabella Oliver have some gorgeous stuff, but they can be quite expensive depending on how much you want to spend
