Its my cousins wedding end of october, I thought about a dress, but I aint seen many nice maternity dresses I like - apart from one at next and I dunno if its 'weddingey' so I thought I could just wear a size bigger dress, I've seen some nice ones in littlwoods, like a wrap dress.
Will it look silly or should I just go for a maternity dress??? Would it look out of proportion?? I've got a bit of a bump, someone who I dont know has noticed, but I dont think I'll have a massive bump, urgh, I dunno :banghead:
Thanks.

verbaudet and blooming marvellous have got lovely stuff too, but jojomamanbebe has a specific occasionwear selection
this is nice from laredoute too http://www.laredoute.co.uk/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=324114977&&DocumentId=210007&&CompanyId=R&&Path=17512698%2f17513325&&source=
There's a shop called Formes in Leeds, I don't know if it's any help. Not having been pregnant I've never been in there or anything, but it sells pregnancy clothes and it's in the Victoria Quarter so they must be quite good
if you're going for a non maternity one a wrap dress is definately the way to go, one that ties at the side will draw the eye away from your bump so it won't be the first thing people notice.
My bump was all squarey and lop-sided

two months till the end of october though, so my guess is if theres a bit of a bump enough for a stranger to notice already, then maternity wear will definitely be in order within 2 months.
I wouldnt go overboard though on maternity occasionwear, Some stuff would be nice to wear outside of a wedding, but also wouldnt look too out of place at a wedding. Thats the sort of thing to go for.
As long as you look smartish, it doesnt have to be proper formal wedding wear.
