Help me dress my blump

[notagoddess]

I have a reception for my program on Friday, and I need to dress up. If all goes well at my scan that morning, I will be open about the fact that I'm pregnant. So I'm not trying to hid the bump, just look cute in this in-between stage before I get a real bump.

Which of these two dresses looks better? I am wearing a sports bra with the pink one, which I obviously wouldn't on Friday. Other than the belly, it fits perfectly. The blue dress makes my bump look cute, but it has a lot of loose fabric on top since it needs some tailoring. Which should I wear?

I personally like the striped one better. I think the pattern and belt are more flattering to your body. But no matter my opinion--I think you should always go with whatever one makes you feel more confident, because ultimately you'll look better in it you look great btw

I like the top one, too. It's a great cut and it fits you really well. You look great! Have fun!

I like the top one as well. That being said, they are both cute!

Another vote for the top one!

OK, seems like the top one wins! It's funny because the bottom one fit much better before pregnancy, but the pattern and the belt of the top one compliment the beginnings of a bump. I am surprised at how early my body is changing!

notagoddess I am shocked at my body too! I have a wedding this weekend and I thought I had a few options that aren't maternity dresses that I could make work. I literally was laughing in the mirror they looked so bad or didn't fit at all. I've gained almost no weight and don't feel like my bump is THAT big. Just goes to show you how quick things change.

That being said I am able to pull off one dress I already had in my closet and I'm going with it. Saving my dress purchase for an October wedding where I know I'll need a maternity specific one.

Have fun Friday, rock that bitty bump and enjoy.

Another for the top but I think the bottom would be just as cute with possibly a skinny belt just above the bump like the top one! I think my vote would switch to the bottom of it had a thin belt Target has a ton of options if you don't have one but decide to go that route.

[notagoddess]

pivot, that's a great idea. There's a TJ Maxx a few minutes away, I can see if they have anything. I think that would make it look more like cute bump instead of a big lunch...

I love the pattern, but I vote for whichever doesn't require alterations You look adorable!
