I was looking on Loft's website and have come across a few cute dresses that I think I want to order.
I just wanted opinions on whether or not you think they would work with a bump. I am all belly and carrying kind of high (latest belly pics are in my blog - link in siggie).
I can't PIP so here are links (they open in a new window)
Dress #1 (worried about the waist line - will it get in the way of my belly?)
Dress #2 (will it be to short once a belly is factored in?)
Re: Do you think this would work with a bump?
FWIW and in my experience it will not depending on how big your bump is. #1 will be too short in the front (if the empire waist even works) and so will #2. Then again your bump isn't too big. Can you try them on before you buy or maybe return them if it doesn't fit?
I like both, but like you said, I might be worried about #2 being a bit on the shorter side with a bump.
I hear that empire waists are great for bumps, and #1 is definitely my favorite here, bumpwise!
I think the waist on #1 isn't really Empire. #2 is cute but may end up being a little too short.
I agree! I love that dress....very puurtty...!
They don't have my size at my store. I can always return, I am just really bad about sending things back. Items I purchase on-line that don't fit or I don't like usually sit in my closet for a few months then head to Goodwill with the tags on...
they are both really nice
#1 I think that the waist band is kind of thick and might ripple and bunch up under your bewbies.
#2 may be ok depending on how tall you are. Like I am almost 5'9" so yeah it would be WAY too short on me to begin with no less with a bump too.
I think #1, the waist line is too big to work with a bump.
I would go with dress #1
I do not think #1 will work if you are all belly.
I've seen your belly pics on here, and you're not big at all. I think that # is poofy enough on its own that your belly won't poof it out any further...
I actually think both would ultimately be too short ... though they are both cute!
Motherhood Maternity has really cute dresses for much cheaper. I wore this for both a wedding and bridal shower and got lots of compliments.
I love them both, but I would be a little scared that they will end up short.
Could you order online and return in the store? That way you don't have to deal with sending anything back.

Hi! I may be too late here, but I LOVE both dresses - super cute! IMO though, I'd stick with dresses made specifically for pg bumps. When I was pg with DD, I tried one that wasn't and it was really shortend up in the front. Maternity dresses are designed a little longer in the front to compensate for evenness as your bump grows. I was just at Motherhood on Saturday and got a dress for my In-Law's 25th Wedding Anniversary and they had a lot of dresses similar in style to the ones you're looking at.
HTH! Cute bump, btw! I checked them out on your blog.
I like both dresses, but I'm afraid they would be too short. Unfortunately, ordering those dresses in a larger size wouldn't work for you because it would change how they fit all the way around.
On another note, I just saw your doggies on your blog and their photo shoot was adorable!! I was in heaven when I saw all of the doxie friends hanging out. I wish Goose (my dachshund) had a doxie playgroup he could attend.
