Formal dress?

Anyone know where to buy/rent a formal gown that will fit a 7 month pregnant lady?  I don't want to pay $100+ for something I'm going to wear for exactly 3 hours, but I also don't want to look like I threw on a tent.

Thanks :-)

    Rent the Runway has a "bump friendly" filter when you search dresses under body type. I've used them before (before being pregnant) and their customer service is excellent!

    Just tried on the one dress of mine that might work. It barely fits now - I doubt it will still fit in 3 weeks when I need it!

    I found one I love on Renttherunway but I wonder if it will actually fit a 7 month bump.

    I will check out the others, thanks!!!

    I have a stretchy dress that I plan to wear to a wedding in a week and a half... Guess I should try it on to make sure it still fits

    That's a pretty lousy move, IMO. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I also don't want to steal and that feels a lot like stealing.

    A friend found a friend who is mailing me a dress to borrow. Love connections ;-)

    @Mamasaurus15‌ - Want to share which dress and this bump pic? The lack of bump proof made me nervous to use any of their dresses.

    And I think the dress will work out perfectly - it's actually a straight up maternity gown! In my size! Woot woot!
