Fancy clothes

[empireceo]

I have a wedding in Phoenix in October.  I've been casually looking for something to wear but have been pretty disappointed.  Does anyone know where to find formal/semi-formal maternity dresses that aren't boring as fuck or totally juvenile?  The bow tied around the bump might be my least favorite look ever.

Have you looked at A Pea in the Pod?

[empireceo]

Yes, auchick913. What they currently have is a little boring for me.

I think Ann Taylor Loft has some cute maternity dresses like this one: www.loft.com/maternity-pleated-v-neck-dress/376534?colorExplode=false&skuId=19058146&catid=catl000043&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=4978

I'd also check out modcloth.com. They have a ton of dresses and some might work for maternity purposes.

Did you check ASOS maternity? They should have a good selection of dresses.

I think ASOS has some great dresses for maternity. I mean they also have some horrible stuff, but this would kill I think:

m.asos.com/mt/us.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5050927&CTARef=Basket+Page&CTAref=Saved%20Items

Totally thinking about ordering for myself.

+2 for ASOS!!! Their sale section is SO good.

I actually accidentally bought a maternity "fancy" dress there a few years back. I was just clicking around the site and didn't realize I had wandered into the maternity section. The dress was so cute though that I saved it even though at the time I wasn't even thinking about having a child. Now that I'm knocked up I'm pretty excited to try it on

Yes they definitely have some not so good stuff! But whenever I need a dress I can always count on them for something.

And that is a great maxi dress!

Have you checked out Pink Blush Maternity online?

I was super excited to learn about pink blush maternity. I was hoping to get some cute tops, as most of mine last time around were pretty plain. I'm really disappointed in their tops. They have a ton, but they are all the loose flowy kind which I don't care for on pregnant women. I don't think they look flattering at all. I need something to hug the bump! Major bummer.

But they do have cute maxi skirts and stuff.

Really? Good to know. They're not cheap and I was thinking of ordering a few tops.

They have very few fitted tops. Last I looked anyway, which wasn't long ago. If you can catch a day they are having a sale it's not so bad.

Thanks guys! Checking out ASOS now. I have time but it's been a struggle every time to find clothes I don't hardcore hate.

I ended up getting a LBD shift that I can hem to fit just right. It's got a cool floral pattern so it's not blah.
I bought it in my normal size plus a size up because I have no idea how much I'll grow and there wasn't much stretch

My friend bought a dress at seraphine.com when she was pregnant. Super cute.

+1 for the Seraphine recommendation. Very nice stuff. It's not cheap, but there are a lot of great options.
