Re: wedding wear
Tough to say. I went to a wedding when I was 16 weeks, and all the maternity dresses I tried on made me look fat, b/c I hadn't really begun to look PG yet. Just try on stuff and see. Many people suggested buying something w/ strechy material. I ended up wearing a dress I had, that JUST fit!

Re: wedding wear
I wasnt showing at 18.5 weeks but my boobs had gotten noticeably bigger by that time (up a cup size).

Re: wedding wear
I have now attended 5 weddings during this pregnancy with my 6th coming up in February and I wore a maternity dress to all but one. The one I didnt I was actually only 10 weeks pregnant and I was in the wedding party. I wore maternity dresses that were stretchy and that could hold my chest--that was the main problem! I lucked out with getting the dresses all on sale at the motherhood outlet in the Source Mall. Good luck!

Re: wedding wear
You could very well be showing by then - it just depends on each person. You could check out Maternity dresses - and you could also check out empire waist dresses that are lose and can hide it if you have a small tummy by then.

Re: wedding wear
I agree that sometimes maternity dresses are made for the later months and can make you look bigger than you are - just the opposite effect you are looking for.
I would first try a size or two bigger - something with an empire waist. I was in a wedding party with someone 6 months pregnant - she bought a regular sized dress (one size up - empire waist) and she looked preggo, but great!

Re: wedding wear
I have a wedding in a few weeks - I will be 22 weeks. I got a dress that is a size bigger than I had been wearing - and it a woman's size so it has more room. So far it seems to fit well so I am going to try with that and a bolaro to make me feel less self-conscious about my chest.
