Help me pick a BM dress?

[noodleoo]

Hi Guys! Anyone want to help me pick a BM dress? I can pick any of these to wear. I’m hoping to be pg by the wedding over the summer, but I have to order in a few weeks and unless we get lucky this cycle, I won’t know until after the dress is ordered. Im having hard time picking altogether since they are all pretty cute, so any thoughts are appreciated! I wish I could try them on, it sucks to have to buy totally online!  (ETA: I’m a size 10/12 and the dresses will be dark blue).

Lurker chiming in, with the possibility of being pregnant I would probably go with 1, 2 or 5 (1 is my favourite with pregnancy in mind I think).

I was in a similar position when I ordered a dress for my friends wedding and I ended up ordering a size or 2 bigger than I needed with the option to take it in if I wasn't pregnant come wedding time.

I like Clara, Kyla, & Adriana. Adriana is more my style in that I was super self-conscious about my massive boobs BUT keeping those ins mind, Kyla would be easiest to fit those and an expanding rib cage in.
ALSO KYLA HAS POCKETS!

I like the Kyla the best, seems like that style is flattering for lots of body types.

I like 1,2 and 5!

Oof, that's tought. I'm in the same boat for an august wedding. I think accommodating bigger breasts is even harder than the belly in some ways. The pics in the reviews look like the Clara would be forgiving, so that's my vote.

I wore a non-maternity BM dress in my brother's wedding when I was 8 mo. pregnant a couple years ago.  The skirt and waist style was similar to the Adriana, with some extra pleating in the front and that inverted "v" waist line that accommodated my belly surprisingly well.  I bought the size that fit my chest (erring on the side of being generous), and extra lining fabric + chiffon.  I had a whole extra panel put into the front (since I was so far along), and my seamstress raised the waist so that instead of natural waist, it was empire.  It actually worked out surprisingly well, I didn't expect a non-maternity dress to be possible by that point.  I delivered like 5 weeks after I wore it.

The Kyla or Clara style would work in the same way pretty well too, I just personally wouldn't love those ruffles on the Kyla drawing attention to my butt while pregnant.  Also, the Clara would probably accommodate a bra better than the others.   So I think on balance I would pick the Clara.

Thx for all the advice! I was leaning towards the Clara or the Adriana, so I'm glad to see you guys agree. I *love* the Iliana and if I wasn't hoping to be pg I'd go with that. I think I'll probably go with the Clara. Now I'm really hoping I get a positive this month so I can confidently size up. Although I only went up 1 bra band size with my last pregnancy, so if I go up 1" larger than my current bust measurement, hopefully that will be okay. The furthest along I would be at this point is about 20 weeks, and that's if I'm currently pg. <fingers crossed>

noodleoo: Adriana is by far my favourite and if you'll be 20 weeks, I think it will work. I agree with other posters that it'll be hard to get a bra underneath the Kyla.

my favorites are 2 and 5...and possibility of one with a corset back

[katespade]

#1 is by far my favorite! Plus, added bonus that it doesn't look like you would have to worry about wearing any special type of bra with it.

[noodleoo]

jennistarr1, I liked the corset back one too and figured it would be way easier since flexible to fit, but bride didn't want that one. I think it was too "bridal"

I decided to order samples of Dress 1 and 2 to confirm the sizing and because I can't decide between the 2. Should be here in about a week!

when is the wedding? at most you'll be how many weeks pregnant? Always always always bigger is better because it's easier to take in than let out

Wedding is in June.  This company is online only, so they let you order sample dresses to "borrow" to try on for $10 each.  So for $20, I get to see the 2 dresses and see how look/fit before I order mine.  If I'm pg this cycle (which I'll know next week) I'd be ~20 weeks at the wedding.  If not this cycle, I'll probably order a size or 2 up to be optimistic that I'll be pg in the next few months.  Man, it is so going to suck if I'm not pregnant by June and I'm doing all this for naught.

The first two are nice.
