Maternity Dresses
So I have 2 showers coming up and a 3 day wedding, for which I need 3 dresses! I basically can't find anything I like in terms of dresses or they fit funny. I have a couple of dresses that I wore before pregnant that still fit as they were stretchy and empire so they grow with my bump, but I'd really like something new.
I found this website where you can rent dresses and love this one:
I'm thinking, should I get it for 2 weeks? I can wear it once to MIL's shower on the 5th and then once at the wedding the week after. Then maybe if I like it, I could get it in a different color for my shower on the 25th?
I've found a couple of dresses at Target too that I think I'll order and return if they don't fit or I don't like them.
Re: Maternity Dresses
you can rent maternity clothes?? i have never heard of that. crazy!
if you're renting for 2 weeks, that's $50. Do you think you could find a similar dress for that price in store? Then you could rewear to other events coming up.
p.s. i think the dress is gorgeous!
That dress is gorgeous!
Have you checked out gap or oldnavy (ON has 25% and free shipping today!). If you see something on Gap, I could hook you up on that as well

I ordered these two from Target. I think if I like them I won't bother with the other, but we'll see if they fit and look good!
They only had the orange one in large and I usually wear medium so I have a feeling it might not fit that well as Target usually runs large for maternity.
All those dresses are cute. I didn't know you could rent dresses either.
Do you know how to sew or anyone you know how to sew? Depending on the style you might be able to do something where you can gather it in the back and sew it a little or something like that (I am not a great sewer, so I have no clue if you can do that or not or how you would do it).
