Dress shopping woes

Starting today, I'm on the hunt for a holiday dress and all the dresses I tried on made my bottom look big. After getting dressed and checking myself out in the pants I was wearing, I realized it wasn't the dresses fault. * ugh *

    Ugh-- I am counting down the days until I deliver partly because I am SO tired of looking like this, and having nothing to wear, and nothing I can do about looking/feeling huge. It sucks. We're going to a wedding tomorrow and I'm so disappointed in how I look, my outfit options...it just sucks. I know how you feel!

    I bought a few dresses from Asos online, and had good luck. They have a decent sale/clearance section too.

    I've been feeling the same way. It's been putting me in quite a bad mood too. I had to go buy some maternity clothes today and i wasn't too happy when I tried things on and looked like a cow...

     

    I guess we just have to wait for our deliveries and hit the gym after :)

     I know what you mean.  I've found that by wearing fun accessories, such as a necklace, scarf, or earrings, it takes to focus away from my tummy.  Good luck!

    Have you thought about getting some maternity tights (esp. spanks or the knock off's from target?) They might help shape the area you aren't super happy with. Either way, I'm sure you look fabulous - we're always our own harshest critics! I had to buy a dress for a wedding when I was 8 months pregnant and I ended up opting for a floor length gown instead of a short dress. Good Luck! I think pregnant women are just like Brides - I've never seen one that I didn't think was absolutely gorgeous :)

    I bought some Empire wasitline dresses from Kohls... they make your boobs  look great... sure don't hide the bump by any stretch of the imagination (I'm 5 foot 1 1/2 and I've been big since about 10 weeks ) but help hide the wide load I have going on out back lol.  I wear these with a cardigan or similar.  I'm 20 weeks and they are getting tighter across the boobs, but still fit and look good. Everyone loves these dresses when i wear them.

    I bought this one in Blue and they have a red and black pattern which looks way better on that expected( not a pattern person ) .. and a black one without the cap sleeves
