Style help, please!
I'm having a hell of a time deciding between two dresses for my upcoming baby shower in June, and since you all have given great advice in the past, I'm turning to you for help! I have three that I keep going back and forth between:
I love this dress! This isn't a maternity dress, but I tried it on at their store when I was in Annapolis just for fun and it actually fit very well. I love the sort of garden party theme of it, and could wear it for more than just my pregnancy, which is a bonus. A little pricey, but well made.
I have heard great things about More of Me Maternity, and am a complete ho for nautical stripes, so I'm loving this. Our decor will have a navy blue & light pink nautical flag theme, so I was thinking of pairing this with a pink cardigan.
I just found the Mayreau and I thought it was very sweet. This is actually a maternity/nursing friendly dress (has a hidden access point in the folds), so it could serve me well for post-birth as well. Not sure about the no straps, and as with the Asos dress, I would wear with a cardigan over top for some extra coverage. Thought it might be cute w/ a light pink cardi, sort of playing of the party color scheme?
They are all around the same price point, so it's a pretty level playing field in that regard. I think a longer dress will be more comfortable and provide a little warmth, depending on the weather. I can also wear a pair of leggings underneath if it is a bit colder and for extra support if needed. Thoughts??? TIA!

I actually like the second one. Normally I'd run screaming for the hills with horizontal stripes, especially while PG, but if you love the stripes, I love the idea of this one with the pink cardigan. And if you like your legs while PG, it's nice to show them off when you are otherwise feeling like a house.
The first one has a lot going on, and I personally am not a fan of the patten. But it would be nice to be able to keep using it.
I would avoid strapless- but then again I don't like strapless dresses normally given I have no boobs to hold it up!
Hmmmm, maybe I'll be a little diva and have a wardrobe change 1/2 way through the party???
I could also name my child Morocco or Monroe, like a certain diva who I happen to share a name with...

LOL go for it! I love how the girl doesn't have a middle name since Mariah doesn't, yet the boy does. Not saying it's wrong not to have a middle name, I didn't until I got married and threw my maiden name over to the left :P
Is there such a thing as "too much bump"? I love a pregnant belly!
