We just received an invitation to the wedding of a dear friend of ours. It's the end of May. I'll be 33 weeks pregnant. The only problem is I just discovered it's black tie. What the eff am I going to wear to this thing?! I do not own a single thing that could possibly pass for black tie, much less that will fit me then. It's church wedding, outdoor super nice garden tent reception. Help please.

Nordstrom has some nice dresses that would work for black tie.

End of May will probably be roasty so I'd shoot for a dressy shorter dress! Hope these links help a bit!

I think this is beautiful but pretty pricey for maternity.

These could all be dressed up with accessories easily.

Depending on your body type, some dresses would look great and some wouldn't be flattering. I think this one is the best for all body types - and I really love the fuschia color as well, but it does come in black. It's classic and long and can be accessorized:

GL in your search!
This is by far my favorite so far! That pink is gorgeous and would look good almost all complexions. I bet you would get a ton of compliments in this dress!

Rent a dress....

I totally love this idea. I second the long dress idea as well. When I was 30 weeks I already thicankles (thigh+calf+ankle) in the evening and I also felt the need not to wear anything with a heel because no one could see it anyway.
