  I think it's really pretty but a little sexy for a baby shower.  Maybe if you wore a cami/cardigon as well?

  I'm gonna suggest something maternity. Even if it "stretches", I don't think it's going to go as far as it needs to. And I don't mean that as an insult, just that I don't think it's meant to fit a 3rd tri belly.
  Cute for the beach or something, but I don't think I'd wear it to my (or anyone's) shower.

  Hm. NMS. Maybe find an actual maternity dress, they are made to flatter your belly in all the right places. With spring right around the corner, you should have plenty of nice options.

  EEk, I'd be scared of my boobies popping outta that one. Good for beach, not for baby shower. I'd pick out something maternity. It'll be waaaay more flattering, I promise you!

  Just not my style for a baby shower, especially not if I was the guest of honor. I'm much more of a Sunday church dress with fancy jewelry kind of shower girl. This dress style is more appropriate for the beach or a summer party.
  
  Did you see the other post about ON dresses 40% off? Might want to check it out for other options.

  Is it Lycra? I think a skin tight strapless dress in a bold, all over pattern is number one on the do not wear list for 3rd tri (and frankly, just in general). I vote for an actual maternity dress, I think it will be much more flattering.

  This dress reminds me of the 90's. The pattern and colors are the exact same as the sheets I had for my waterbed.

  It kinda looks like one of thoes knit dresses that looks like it fits great in the catalog photo ... but in person not so much. 

  
  

  Also, I have nothing against hot pink and nothing against animal prints, but I personally would not mix them together in the same outfit.

  Is this from the Venus catalog? I don't find it that offensive in general, but I think Venus, Frédéricks of Hollywood, etc. are probably better for after baby is here.

  I'm with PPs in that you may want to find a maternity dress instead. I don't know what you look like or how the dress fits in real life, but even still I can pretty much 100% guarantee you'll be more comfortable and look even better in a flattering maternity dress!

  I really dislike patterns like that. It just reminds me of Jersey shore which is not my style. But if that is yours, more power to you.

  I'd be going or classy not trashy for my baby shower...even if I looked like the model wearing that dress you couldn't pay me to put that on. I agree with the OP's. I was at old navy yesterday and they had some super cute maxi dresses for the spring. I also saw a few cute things at destination maternity that weren't overly expensive.

  There are really cute maxi dresses at destination maternity. I wouldn't buy a non maternity dress. Definitely match it with a nice cardigan.

  This. Definitely NMS. Also agree with PP that it's probably not going to fit a third-tri belly very well if it's not maternity.

  But guise, this board is supposed to be for support.  (which OP will probably really need considering it's a strapless dress.)

  Oh God, pregnant boobs in a strapless dress...!

  
  

  Yeah... I don't know how graceful you are, OP, but if it were me I'd sure I'd trip on that long skirt, pop out the top and make everyone remember my shower for all the wrong reasons.

  I actually like the dress.
  But as PP's have said, it's completely inappropriate for a baby shower.
  This may be a little personal- but do you actually feel your grandmother or older friends/family members would be impressed with something that revealing?

  I was too busy with all the FB stuff yesterday to open this thread.  So glad I did today!  I'm sitting here trying not to LOL, while my DH is on a work conference call across the desk from me.  I seriously had to leave the room after reading @Kate070 post.  Maybe OP should just wear this instead.  At least there would be no danger of boobs popping out.

  Eh, this specific dress aside, I personally don't think baby shower attire needs to be Betty Draper demure. Not everyone has grandmothers and aunts at their baby shower. And besides ... some grandmothers dress like that. 

  
  

  Seriously, in my IL's crowd you might see that at church.

  No. Hell no actually. Is that cheetah print? People wear that still? Not appropriate for a baby shower. OP how old are you? Just wondering. Definitely not a maternity dress and unless you look like her, don't do it.
