There’s a similar dress on the maternity friend list to your dress #1.
ETA: Even with 1 baby you’re still giant at 35 weeks :-(
The cowel back or another one?
Not nearly as giant as I was with the twins... my belly literally went out to my knees when I sat down. I was measuring 48 weeks at 36 weeks and didn’t deliver for another 2 weeks after that. Hoping I’m not even close to that size this time!
I think at 35 weeks pregnant, I’d go with a maternity dress. At that point comfort will be your biggest concern anyway! Don’t force a dress that’s not meant for it.
I’m in a wedding 9 days before my due date. No way in heck I’m going to be able to wear anything that isn’t maternity. The bride is my SIL to be, she and I are close so she knows already and is totally understanding. We’ll pick a dress together that goes with the feel she wants but will be comfortable on my giant belly.
Thanks Ladies! I went back today to try dresses again. They don’t have any maternity specific dresses, just dresses that are better to accommodate a belly if you’re pregnant (which is what the maternity list was). I tried on 3 dresses and ended up with the cowel back dress, which is the one I thought I’d get when I looked online before stepping foot in the store, but since my mom hated it on me I didn’t have it on the list. Glad you ladies convinced me to give it another shot. They also had a belly pillow, so after trying the dresses in bigger sizes with the pillow, the consultant and I agreed to go up an extra size (so 3 sizes up from my current size instead of 2).
Thank you all so much for your input, support and finding the maternity list! I really appreciate it!

I measure right on track at 35 weeks, but that was around the time my maternity clothes started getting tight.
