Dress Help!!

Right today my boyfriend texts me and asks if I want to go to his leavers do which of course I obliged and said I would even though the whole thought scares the wits out of me!

Now for my problem the dress. I am 3 months pregnant and developing a small bump, I need a dress that wont show the bump as his school mates dont know yet, its not a huge bump but its noticeable. Also I dont want to spend alot as im only going to be wearing it this once and more than likely never again.

Does anyone have any advice on what would look best and where I can get a reasonable priced dress ... ideally pretty cheap!

Thanks if anyone can help!

    I would try debenhams, or places like Next, for inexpensive frocks.. also try catalogues.
    On hiding the bumb.. I guess you could try looking for one with a waist that comes in under the boobs.. not sure what they're called, but they look kinda romanesque.

    Because i never got to go to my prom and he knows its something I really missed. A couple of his mates knows but he doesnt want to advertise it to the world, like im not advertising it to all my mates.

    Whats empire line when tis at home?

    Empire line is where it's fitted under the bust but goes out from below there if that makes sense.

    A silver bag might look nice with purple and silver bags are quite popular so I'm sure you'll find one.
