Opinion on a dress, please!

in Northern California Babies

We're going to Vegas for a wedding the last weekend of Sept. Husband is the best man. All I know is that the wedding is Sunday (probably afternoon/early evening) and that the groomsmen are wearing dark suits - it's not black tie.

Do you think this dress would work? (It's from Nordstrom) I don't want to wear black, and I'm wary of solid colors all around because I don't want to inadvertently look like a bridesmaid. I'll also be about 6 months pregnant. I have no bump now, but my boobs won't stop growing and I'm sure I'll have grown in the belly by then. I'm not generally a fan of the empire waist/lots of torso fabric style, but I think it works here.

I'm willing to take other recs if you feel like helping me shop!

    I think it is cute. I am always hestitant to wear strapless though. Does it have removeable straps?

    Need to figure out shoes for that one. Luckily shoes will be easy.

    It doesn't. I'll go a week or so before to Nordies or Neimans or somewhere and get fitted for a good strapless bra. And I've got clothing tape to help keep it in place. 

    But oh yeah...I've got boobs now. It didn't matter so much before when I was all Kate Hudsony in that department. 

     

    Hmmm....

    That is cute too. I don't have to worry about shoes, I only have 2 pairs of dress shoes and they are both black.

    Just be sure you get a great strapless...I have difficulty wearing any dresses that are long and empire and low in the chest because I look like I am ALL chest then....

    It's from Nordstrom. And actually in my size. I'm going to buy that one and the one I posted and try them both on. Fingers crossed!

    Wait? Too formal? I'm not sure I follow your reasoning, there...
