Maternity clothes...

I'm hoping you guys can help me... I'd post this in fashion, but I think you guys would have a better idea.

My brother's wedding is in two weeks. Of course, I have yet to go shopping, and I have NOTHING to wear! I'm 5 months pregnant with my second, but I am carrying super small. I don't think I'd fit right in a maternity dress at this point. Plus, let's be honest... I'd rather buy something that I can wear again. (By wear again - altering is fine... lol)

Any suggestions? Pictures would help. Any color, but I prefer no black as DH is wearing a navy suit.

Thank you, thank you!

If you're carrying small you can prob get away with any regular dress that you like! A tight dress would be cute to show off the bump! Or you can do a flowy type dress. I would def just try on a few regular dresses! I had a bachelorette party this past weekend and im also 5 months and I wore a dress I had that was loose!

I added a pic. I'm all the way to the right!

Lol it'll be ok! I added a pic so you can see the dress I wore! I actually bought some maxi dresses from target for the spring/ summer and bought regular ones just a size up bc they're pretty stretchy

What about an empire waste dress? This will give your little bit of baby belly some room, but you won't look pregnant. I am short wasted so I go with this style often.

Dress Barn is a good place to look especially in spring, they have tons of dresses in spring... Casual and formal.

I also have good luck at Lord & taylor with dresses for weddings.

I'm a big fan of maternity dresses: I get lost s of use out of them and they make me look pregnant (vs chubby)

I typically buy one that I plan on wearing all pregnancy:
To my sister's baby shower, my sprinkle, a work party, night out with girls, Easter. Also wear it post partum. I buy slightly dressy and doll it up for formal events with shoes and hair.
