Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

Got the Ezibuy catelogue today...there is some dresses in there which I reckon preggy's can wear.

I ended up getting the PP dress. Mum was with me & showed me I didnt quite have it on right so once she adjusted it was even more comfy & looked really nice, Heaps of room so no worry of outgrowing it. Mum has bought me the dress & I bought myself a nice pair of hush puppy sandles which are So comfy.

Might get a dress from Ezibuy for the summer...my daughter & her skirt fettish is rubbing off on me...The tomboy has changed!! ]]> Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:26:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=560698&title=help-i-need-a-dress#560698 <![CDATA[HELP....I need a dress : ooooh arent i clever i did it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=560319&title=help-i-need-a-dress#560319 Author: Phat_Cat

I have a wedding to go to today! and i was looking for a dress everywhere to no avail (im a pre-preggy 16-18, large bust lol) HOWEVER i have found this goergous top. Wore it to my work do last night and had many compliments and the best thing about it is that its a wrap around style so doesnt matter how big your bump gets as it has long ties. Also looks like its going to be great post pregnancy as a breastfeeding top. I wore it with a skirt last night and will be wearing it with some jean type material 3/4 pants today with some dressy shoes (im doing the photography so a skirt kind of not appropiate.

Now heres the link and im sure it will be messy so if someone can fix it would be greatly appreciate (one thing ive never mastered )

I have a dress I am trying to sell if you are interested at all...

I wore it as a bridesmaid at 6 months pg...but I had a pretty large bump!

Its strapless black a-line cocktail style. There is also an orange tie that was supposed to go around the waist...but went under the bust in my case.

Its made out of dupion silk...

Let me know and I can send some pics]]> Fri, 05 Dec 2008 23:07:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=560302&title=help-i-need-a-dress#560302 <![CDATA[HELP....I need a dress : Remember kmart also do a maternity...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=560295&title=help-i-need-a-dress#560295 Author: Rachael21

I Love your idea TraceyA!! But i'd take a picture of a model who I'd like to look like

WeeGee that dress is awesome...If in doubt I can do that!!!

Thanks heaps for the suggestions, I didn't even think of Just Jeans or Jacki E. I'd been around town with Mum & most of the dresses we saw just wouldn't have got near me, fabrics all to stiff

I'm pretty small...you can see my 31 week bump in the photo pages, but tall, so I have to try stuff on otherwise it can end up to short.

I had bought a great stretchy dress which has now ended being to short for the wedding which is why I've had to go and get something else, but we have a luncheon the next day so I can show my legs off then ]]> Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:37:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=559370&title=help-i-need-a-dress#559370 <![CDATA[HELP....I need a dress : Try Jacquie E I ore a dress from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=559345&title=help-i-need-a-dress#559345 Author: LizzyJ

I had a wedding to go to last year while pregnant - and I bought the Egg Basics Pleated Black dress and have been SO happy with it - and have had loads of comments on it. It is so comfortable to wear, slimming, and have worn it both pregnant and since I have had my baby - it is one of those pieces that you can do so - and that way I can get heaps of wear out of it. Looks fantastic in the winter with a longsleeve top underneath, tights and boots.

I am planning to wear it to a wedding again in March with a stunning black hat.

Good luck with finding the right dress for you! Egg dress

Wow Weegee what a fab dress! Love how you can wear it different ways.

Aliasmum I wore my pre preg clothes all the way through my pregnancy, and I got a lovely dress from Supre for my birthday dinner at 38wks. Also bought a couple of dresses from Jay Jays, good thing is they still look good after bubs too. Have you checked out maxi dresses as Mel suggested? They tend to be really flattering without sticking to every curve IYKWIM]]> Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:40:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=559270&title=help-i-need-a-dress#559270 <![CDATA[HELP....I need a dress : How handy are you?

How handy are you? Do you have access to a sewing machine or overlocker? I've just whipped up this dress - so easy, only one seam, and can be worn literally dozens of ways! You'd have to make it so that instead of your waist measurement you used your underbust measurement for the band, and make the skirt long enough to cover the bump.

What about if you wear your most comfy outfit and just stick a photo on the front and back of you in a nice outfit pre-pregnancy (or a dress you would wear if not pregnant) and say on the sign - if "I wasn't 37 weeks pregnant, I'd be wearing this", seriously, who's going to mess with the emotional state of a heavily pregnant woman

You could wait closer to the Jan date, when all the sales are on, and depending how big your bump is and your breasts, you may be able to buy a pretty non pregnancy dress in a larger size. Those Roman style (Empress line?) dresses seam all the rage at the moment and would look much more fetching on a pregnant woman then an those stick figures.]]> Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:14:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=558920&title=help-i-need-a-dress#558920 <![CDATA[HELP....I need a dress : Will have to go back into JK,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22923&PID=558881&title=help-i-need-a-dress#558881 Author: AandCsmum
