Baby Shower Dress Ideas needed

SIL and I are due w/in 3 wks of each other, so our showers will be w/in a month of each other, and I would like to get 2 different dresses. Plus, we have another family party smack in the middle of the two showers, which I would like to purchase a 3rd dress for (same people), but only if budget permits.
Can you show me what you wore to your shower (and where you purchased it from) or what you are looking to wear? I am most comfortable w/ a dress, and won't be opening gifts at the shower (would like to do that in the comfort of my own home).
Thanks.
ETA - I just realized my 30th bday would be right around the same time! All 4 events will take place b/w Aug 4 - Sept 30. I was just looking at Destination Motherhood, and they have some adorable dresses w/in or less than $40! SCORE... and can be used at work too. I've found that I'm most comfortable in dresses at work.

I wore this dress from Motherhood. It was really comfortable and flattering- unlike most of the other dresses I tried on that were made of a stiff cotton. This material was flowy, non-clingy, and kept me cool. I am also wearing it to a wedding in a couple of weeks (an outside, casual wedding at a park so it's appropriate). It was only $34.95 and you can get it on their website or in store. GL with your search!
I got a dress from Old Navy Maternity that they no longer sell for my coed shower. It was fine, but you forget how "short" a dress gets when you sit with your big belly!
The most comfortable I have been in such a situation was a lunch 'shower' with a few friends. I wore black capris and a black flowy shirt from Old Navy Maternity. I could move without flashing anyone!
I would also say that your guests are going to want to watch you open your presents...so be prepared to do that (which requires some moving/bending), even though you said you might not be.
Thanks for the the heads up, but no gift opening, strick rule on my part! LOL It is hard for me to move now, imagine in a little over a month. My belly is a lot bigger than most b/c of twins. Sorry charlie, not budging. LOL

Hi Jackie! I was just lurking over here, lol. I can tell we're both in shower mode.
I bought this dress at Target recently: https://www.target.com/Merona-Smocked-Waist-Maxi-Dress/dp/B0034JE8MU/ref=br_1_20?ie=UTF8&id=Merona%20Smocked%20Waist%20Maxi%20Dress&node=1290290011&searchSize=30&searchView=grid5&searchPage=1&sr=1-20&qid=1279764408&rh=&searchBinNameList=sleeve_type,collar_style-bin,lifestyle-bin,target_com_size-bin,target_com_primary_color-bin,price,target_com_brand-bin&searchRank=pmrank&frombrowse=1
I haven't worn it yet b/c I'm hoping to save it for my shower. It's not maternity, but it's stretchy. So, I'm crossing my fingers that it still fits in 5 weeks!

That's cute! I was actually thinking maybe pink or blue... depending on baby! : )

I was thinking of this black one for my SIL's shower w/ some cute kitten heels I have. - Destination Maternity
I like this for my shower (late Aug) - Nordstrom - it is a little on the pricier side, but I really love it... hopefully it goes on sale before the shower. : )
And this dress (blue sateen) for the family party (semiformal) in mid-Sept) with an ivory kitten heel. - Destination Maternity
