Target has some cute dresses

[rbp]

I picked up this one today: (Target model, not me)



I was also on the fence about this one. It hugs the curves more tightly, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with showing off my bump after years of always sucking in my belly. It is also an awkward length; I am 5'10" and it hits just below the knees.



Now that I'm looking at the website, they have a much broader selection online than in-store.

I got that gray one this weekend, too! It is super comfy!

I tried on the blue/white one in store and it was godawful on me. I think I am just too big pre-pg to pull it off. I have a similarly styled black one from Gap and it looks fine, but again, black is slimming

Thanks for sharing!

nice! I wish I were taller so I could rock the maxi dresses. Other than those, everything I'm seeing is short.

Oh I love the top one!
Yeah, their website has a lot more in the way of selection for dresses than the store. I bought like 7 dresses last year (non mat) because I couldn't bring myself to shop for shorts in a size up after gaining weight. Lol. I'm sure I'll be living in target dresses again this summer while giant and pg (dear lord help me).

Can you sew, or do you know someone who sews? 
I get mine hemmed.

I was just at Target yesterday and they had almost nothing. I feel like the Target I go to is much more picked-over than the average suburban Target is.

I've been to three Targets in the past few weeks (just out-and-about and realized I needed dish soap, etc.) and their maternity selections are widely variable. The one I went to yesterday had the best selection, but it was still only eight or so different dresses, so Target.com may be your best bet.

Well, rbp, I bought a kind-of hideous maternity tankini top upon DD's recommendation that I realized will not work for me at all. Maybe I will try returning it to another Target to see if their selection is any better! I do have to go down to Delaware in 2 weeks, land of tax-free shopping!

I only live in cotton dresses in the summer. Too damn hot for pants and shorts look horrible on me. The one thing I'm really looking forward to is cute summer dresses with a bump!!!

However, I am now also looking into AC for my house. Not sure I can survive another summer like last year while pregnant. I remember running the window unit full blast 24/7 and it STILL was 80 degrees in here! I think it's time to splurge because I'm sure no amount of comfy dresses will handle that heat.
