Can you help to dress me for my sons Christening

I def. still have a baby belly - it prob. looks like I'm three months preggo. I've got a trainer now, and am doing Zumba a few times a week, but I still have about 30 lbs to lose.

With that being said, I still need to look decent at my sons Christening. I would love to hide the gut! I'm a smaller build with the damn stomach!

PLEASE help dress me! I'm not a big print person (think it makes me look bigger) so I'd prefer to wear black.

THANKS SO MUCH! Chat Icon

ETA: Here are the most recent pics of me I think!

The one from Macy's is very similar to what I wore to my bridal shower (i'll find a pic)

I think the other three - the bands around the waist - will accentuate my big fat belly Chat Icon

The thick bands actually help hide the tummy. It gives you an hourglass shape.

I like the Suzi Chin dresses you posted. I'd go with the purple over the black, and see if you can have it shortened a little.
ETA-
I like this one too-it is a little fancier.

and

a shorter version of the black jersey dress

LOVE all of these! Diana- I think you look great but if you think you have a belly, I would stay away from a Jersey fabric...and something in a color other then black...black is slimmimg but your thin, you dont need the black IMO, I think you would look great in a brighter color.

I say get yourself a good pair of spanx (not that you dont look awesome anyway) but get a good pair and wear whatever you want. Thats what I did for my DS Christening when I was like 11 weeks PP.

I think you look great!

if you're looking to camouflage the stomach I would look for a dress that has an empire waist

OR

a longer cardigan over a dress with a belt over it - will define and makes the illusion of much smaller waist
