Dress for wedding in April
I am a plus sized mommy to be. I have a wedding to attend in April and I will be 7 months pregnant at the time of the wedding. I found this dress on Lane Bryant in the maternity section and wanted a second opinion. What do you ladies think? I don't have many options for a plus sized semi formal dress.
Thanks ladies!!

This is a great dress, but do you think the sleeves will be too much for an April wedding?

I've always felt that April in NY was still very cool.... that's why I would look for something with sleeves more than a sleeveless.....

Oops. I should have clarified. I live in Texas and the wedding is here as well. April in Texas tends to be warm!

Re: Dress for wedding in April
It's verrry pretty!
BUTT that material has no give- it will have to be a perfect fit, or it will be all bunchy looking where it pulls, you know?
Like, you would want to get a size bigger, but you never know how large you will carry, you know? I would keep looking for something with more stretch in the material, so you can get your correct size, and the differene in belly size will be accomodated.

ITA. I bought something earlier on in my pregnancy that I totally thought I'd be able to wear by 7 months, but I had already outgrown it. I agree that stretchier fabric is the way to go - or more material below the empire waistline.

Excellent point ladies!!! That is exactly what was concerning me. It is hard enough buying clothes for a preggo, it is harder for a chubby preggo.

That is a great site. Destination maternity has a few great dresses, too- though the plus section is weak. I smell an opportunity to start a business.

Re: Dress for wedding in April
I love the second dress. You can always return it right? I always feel it's good to have one and can always keep looking if you think it won't fit. Or buy 2 different sizes and return 1.

The two dresses I posted can be returned. But the dressses from the link that Lisa provided can't be returned.

I personally like the 2nd one you posted. The material of the dress from Lisa, I don't think I'd like.
