Clicky Poll:What did/are you wearing to your shower?

Re: Clicky Poll:What did/are you wearing to your shower?

  • I bought 3 maternity dresses that I knew I would wear to work and could also wear at my showers.

    One is like a sweater dress with a collared shirt underneath it. One is a wrap dress and another one is a slinky grey dress that is really comfortable.

  • I'm so wishy-washy! I just ordered a dress, LOL!
  • If you get a dress...make sure it is long enough!  One of mine ended up shorter than I'd normally wear, but I avoided showing anything...Embarrassed
  • well I wore a dress to the first one and then pants and a cute tweed jacket to this last one.  I bought that dress from Target I told you about as another option, along with a brown houndstooth one I got from a local store to wear for my other two.  I wanted options and didn't want to wear the same thing to any of them - as I knew people would post pics, etc.  Plus I got great deals on the items and can wear them to work, etc. and I really haven't bought much during the pregnancy.......

    It's long enough, LOL! Mrs.AO cautioned me about that as well. It's a little longer than knee length on the model so I'm sure it'll be fine for me...Here it is...Leelee picked it out for me.

  • I had two dresses and a cute pants and top...I didn't want to be wearing the same thing in my pictures...I actually only bought one of the dresses for the purpose of a shower...the other one I had already bought the year before and it was empire waist so it worked out nicely.  The pants and top I wore to a casual Saturday shower and the other two were Sunday showers and one was at church so I chose to wear the dresses there. 

    I had a 4th surprise shower and seeing as it was a surprise I had no clue...luckily Wes made sure I left the house in something decently cute so it worked out lol.  

  • That's cute!  I actually had two dresses (I had two showers), and I got them both at Mimi Maternity (the only things I ever bought from there!)  My mom and I went and tried them on one day after work.  I swear, those dresses made my belly look even bigger! haha!

  • I bought a dress to wear to my church shower, but it was more of a "tea" and I didn't sit in front of anyone and open gifts.  I say that bc some people (myself included) might not think about sitting "properly" in a skirt and end up showing what they got.

    I wore black pants and a top to each of my other showers, but none of them were at a church.

  • You already know but...for one shower I wore white linen pants.  Got them at Motherhood before I was even close to showing because I loved them and they were $19.99.  I knew I would save them for a shower.  Went back to motherhood for the cute top closer to the shower date because they had the cute summer stuff out then....And those same or very similar linen pants were $50, so score for me!!

    Same shopping trip as the top I bought a long black maxi dress for my second shower that I also took my maternity pics in.

    You'll love it!  I got it and it fits perfectly!  I also got some winter white cords and a blue top to possibly wear to another one. 

  • Thanks, ladies! I'm also having one at work but I'm not sure about the date so I guess I'll have on whatever I wear to work that day....Seems like I have a hard time making up my mind these days...
