I looked at mine for nine and they had some good options, but once I added in shipping, it was only an extra $20 to buy the dress I wanted outright, so I did that. And then I ended up spending another $20 to get it in the floor length version, because I do think it's more appropriate for black-tie. I ended up in <a href="http://www.seraphine.com/us/emerald-sleeveless-maxi-knot-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.seraphine.com/us/emerald-sleeveless-maxi-knot-dress.html</a> but this company has a lot of nice, formal maternity wear that would also work. My good friend was also pregnant at this wedding (her due date was literally 3 days away) and she wore a strapless bridesmaid dress from Target dress that isn't maternity, but totally worked and she said it was only $50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257802 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 11:11:16 +0000 blackbird 2257802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A nice cocktail dress will work!

I used it a couple of times during my last pregnancy and really liked it.</p> <p>ETA: Target also had some nice formal maternity dresses, if I remember correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257689 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 09:15:12 +0000 Anya 2257689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure a cocktail dress will be fine, but I personally think a baby bump in a floor length dress looks super glamorous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257686 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 09:11:02 +0000 MaryM 2257686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to what I assume is a black tie wedding (evening event in central park) and will be just shy of 5 months. </p> <p>I decided to definitely go floor length, but it's not really a "gown." But I figured I could dress it up with jewelry so I don't totally stick out, and that way I'd be more comfortable. It's just a simple floor length black dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257670 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 09:03:34 +0000 catomd00 2257670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't need floor length for black tie, as long as it's a fancy cocktail dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257647 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:47:42 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2257647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.minefornine.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.minefornine.com/</a></p> <p>They are a Rent the Runway style site for maternity wear. Never used it myself though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257630 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:37:40 +0000 hilsy85 2257630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you ever NEED a floor length dress for black tie. COcktail length is totally appropriate. I"ve been to three black tie weddings while pregnant and wore knee length dresses to all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257629 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:37:35 +0000 Rockies11 2257629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically it should be floor length, but at all the black tie events I have been to, women have a lot of leeway and a good 50 percent wear cocktail even not pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257623 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:34:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2257623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at 7 months pregnant you get a lot of leeway. Plus, in my experience "black tie" is often somewhat flexible for ladies- like a fancy cocktail dress with the right jewelry and shoes is fine for any lady there, so especially so for a pregnant one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-tie-wedding-when-pregnant#post-2257603 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:19:35 +0000 brady80 2257603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a black tie wedding when I will be 7 months pregnant. I'm thinking of either getting a dress from thred-up or a rent the runway type of site for maternity wear, since I will literally wear this dress once! My question is, can I get away with a cocktail dress or do I need a floor length dress? Any sites to rent fancy maternity dresses? </p>
