Cute Maternity Dresses?
Sparla1027

Hey ladies! I have a wedding at the end of May, and yes I am already stressing about what to wear!
I have literally been looking on and off for months! Maybe I am being picky- I would prefer no knits (too casual looking), no sparkles (too dressy!), and I really would like to spend less than $100. Also don't want a bow on my belly or something...
I am sure others have weddings/ special occasions/ showers they are dressing up for- suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Re: Cute Maternity Dresses?
I saw this at motherhood maternity the other day and thought it was cute. I don't know if it's too casual for what you are wanting though.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I'm not a fan of maternity clothes, so I usually find dresses with accommodating cuts. I love this one:
Shop Ruche
Try the online Nordstrom maternity dept. I got a bridesmaid~ish dress there that I'm wearing in May. Everything was on sale and I paid about $70 for the dress. They have a great return/exchange policy too. Good luck!
PS-I am in the Metro Detroit area too!
Some of these are just beautiful!
Oh, I know it! I'm like you though, and not a big fan of maternity clothes. I would rather find "regular" clothes with a shape that accommodates a growing belly that I can wear again after pregnancy. I think dresses are one of the easiest pieces to fit the bill. If I had a wedding or a special occasion though, I might make the splurge on one of these!
Oh yes. Totally eating my words here! We have a wedding in June, aka very pregnant at 36w, and I'm in the process of talking DH into this one:
Love that one! You might be able to hold off, and order it once the spring stuff goes on clearance? All their winter stuff got marked down super low--lots of dresses around $20-30.
I was TOTALLY eyeing that one myself - it's SO cute! Unfortunately, we don't have any weddings or anything to go to while I'm pregnant. I'm currently in the market for shower dresses for both my showers, and I think that one is just a little too dressy. <sigh> I hope you get it - it's perfect for a wedding!
After 2 years, Injects, PCOS diagnosis and 2 IUI's, we were blessed with our beautiful twin girls!
Baby Girl #3!
LOL! I read part of the responses- went to ASOS and put THAT dress in my cart (in 2 sizes- gotta measure the girls...), came back to look for more suggestions and then I see this picture! I was like seriously?!
I really thought I would be able to wear some of my summer dresses but when the girls went from at 32B to a 34D- um in the words of Michael Kors "slutty, slutty, slutty!" (I'm a huge project runway fan
)!
Plus I feel like I am "all bump" already and I am afraid by the end of May they'll be down right vulgar! Eek!
Thanks for all the suggestions ladies!
Great to know! Maybe I shouldn't have PIP'd it so that I will still have a chance to get it on clearance lol.
So funny that we're all digging this one ladies!
DH is in the wedding, so he'll be wearing a tux, so I kind of want to go a little more formal than I normally do.
Lol. Sorry....and your welcome!
For real, they can get out of control quick!
I'm sure this will look adorable!
Meant to add to OP:
Shabby Apple has cute maternity dresses and Gilt Groupe has sales once in a while.
I was thinking/wondering the same thing. I know a couple of the dresses I got from old navy (on super clearance) when I put them on, I can't really tell they are maternity. Usually, they are just a touch longer in the front than in the back. My thought is, if it's really noticable, you could just lop an inch off the front (post-maternity) make a new hem, and wear it without looking like it's maternity. Depending on the cut of the dress of course. I think this would work on the black one PIP'd here.
And ordered! Too cute to pass up- and honestly $53 and free shipping- not bad! I will PIP when it get's here for the rest of you ladies!
Thanks again!
Love to hear it!
I will demand a PIP if I don't see it.
I bought 2 dresses from https://www.babiesnbellies.com/ both for weddings. One I loved, the other was a bit small (it's for a May wedding also), but their returns department was easy to work with. The only warning I have is that you can only return for store credit.
