Baby Shower Dresses

Was, just wondering! But, is there any reasoning why you don't want to wear a black dress to your baby shower? I've heard several girls at my maternity store say they don't want a black dress! I got the dress already and doubt I'd return it but I was intrigued!

The dress I got:

    I think black is fine if you like it. Throw on a colorful necklace or some silver jewelry. You will look classy and beautiful.

    While the dress is nms- while dresses just really aren't my style! lol 

    Anyhow- The only reason I didn't want a black dress/outfit for the shower was because I wanted brighter colors on to show off my bump, not hide it behind black

    I wore a black dress to my shower with DS. I felt like it was too boring by itself, though, so I added a purple cardigan and silver shoes. I agree with PP - wear what makes you feel good.

    I had plans to wear a thicker braided brown belt with matching boots! I don't always wear black but I just love the dress its all beautiful lace on the top layer! I could definitely throw some color in there for accessories! I had no plans to go black, but I'm leaving my job at Motherhood in 1 week and then my 40 discount will be gone! So I just bought the dress I liked the best the last few weeks!

    The way the dress is cut longer in the back then In the front should help the belly stick out!

    Working at Motherhood and pushing the same ::baby shower:: dresses may have soured my view on things! I like to be different and not be in the same cookie cutter outfit every other girl in my town will be in...lol I try and suggest different options but they always go for the same few dresses!

    I dont know if it's a "thing" I haven't been to very many...lol I bought the dress the other day, and had a client today who said she didn't want black for her baby shower! Even though it was the best looking dress on her...cut wise. Then I started thinking about my choice! She wasn't the first who said no black!

    I just hope I can find something that doesn't make me look like a cow. I am not having much luck in that department lately, when it comes to dresses at least. I could give a rat's backside what color it is. I just want to look like I weigh less than 500lbs. So, if that dress makes you look good... do it! For what it is worth I really like the dress and I think with a little fun jewelry it will be perfect!

    Someone took pics of me in just my new tankvtop and shorts and I looked fat and bloated so NOT pregnant! I couldn't believe it! So I agree if you find a great dress, color shouldn't matter!

    The dress I am wearing for mine is black and white striped and I don't particularly care that its not colorful. I tried on a bunch and the cut of this one worked the best for me, plus I can wear it to work. I think it just all depends on what you like. I'd rather look good in a black dress than terrible in a brightly colored dress.

    I wore a black dress to my baby shower with my son, also in my mat photos. nbsp;Heres the thing. nbsp;I didn't even look pregnant. It was really flattering in person but in pictures it didn't show my bump! nbsp;I'm sure it was a combo of it being black and the style. nbsp;You should take a picture and make sure it'll photograph well! lol

    Good Idea! Thanks

    I love black and choose black dresses most of time bc I feel slimmer in it. This is a time where I really don't care about my figure, so I'm going to choose something more festive color-wise. Plus, my shower is in August. It will be really hot and black isn't very summery.
