Fashion help please!

northhillsbride · November 2012

We're going to a (fancy) wedding in Philly at the end of the month and I need a dress. Oh, and I'll be about 36 weeks pregnant by then too. *sigh*

Want to help me find something? I'm looking to stay under $125 if possible; and I'm usually a L-XL in dress size; 5'9". Don't care if it's long or short.

Thanks!

short/long/no sleeves?

I think a Pea in the Pod has some nice ones.

Rent the Runway has a maternity site, if you want to go that route.

How dressy? I found this - just a plain black wrap dress, but you could easily dress up with accessories. And it's on sale for $19.99!

Emmy - probably long length, now that I think about it. Sleeve length doesn't matter. I really love this style, but they don't have my size:

Amber - I looked there but they don't have XL.

I don't see any floor-length ones, but Target has some cute sweater dresses (long sleeves) that you could wear with tights:

Edit: I should really read more carefully, I just saw the (fancy) part in your post. the sweater dress probably won't cut it for a fancy wedding.

OMG that's outrageous, Val!

Kris - I had forgotton about that site. Thanks!

ETA: Pretty fancy, MEghan. The invitation didn't even offer a meal choice (and I know the choices will be from seabass, duck and filet), it's downtown Philly, the couple have been together almost 20 yrs and have very good careers and a $$$ house.

But I totally agree with Meghan, being pregnant gives you a bit of a pass. You could definitely do something like that and dress it up with accessories. You could get a pair of dressy flats, like sparkle ones, since I am sure you will not have any desire to wear heels at that point!

I am wearing this to a wedding this weekend: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=218347&locale=en_US&kwid=1&sem=false&sdReferer=http://www.gap.com/products/maternity-clothing.jsp.

You can't beat the price, and while it's not formal, it can be dressed up with accessories.

I can't get the link to work, but it's the belted cowl neck dress on gap maternity!

denalea · November 2012

If you don't want to purchase anything i have a black dress that I wore at about 38 1/2 weeks pregnant. It is not maternity but it is cut so that it fit very well. It's plain (ahem, classic!) but it could totally be done up with some bling! Let me know if you want to borrow it or look at it. I can bring it when I pick up S!

northhillsbride · November 2012

Thank you for all of the suggestions ladies - you've given me a lot to look at and think about! I think it's going to be a matter of just ordering and trying on now.

Dena - I'll definitely take you up on it - thank you!
