They have some nice stuff and I think they send you two sizes so you can get something that fits you, and you don't have to keep it long term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621417 Thu, 08 May 2014 12:17:08 +0000 Torchwood 1621417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wearing some of my old summer dresses that I don't mind stretching out with a belt below my boobs. They're tight, so they make me look more pregnant. I'd be looking for something like that to buy, if I were you. But I was clearly pregnant really early (had 2 people comment on it at 12 weeks), so without knowing how much you're showing I can't say for sure that it'd work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621366 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:46:44 +0000 MrsKoala 1621366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that point, I was just a little thicker around the middle but I wore tighter dresses to kind of show it off. As long as people know you are pregnant, it's a good way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621331 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:35:23 +0000 snowjewelz 1621331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Just try to find something more budget friendly! And I think you can wear it again PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621325 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:33:47 +0000 Cole 1621325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Oooh, thanks! I always forget about The Limited and my go-to places were failing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621317 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:31:50 +0000 Cole 1621317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: That's the tricky thing, non of my regular dresses fit because I lost like 12% of my body weight, everything is kind of falling off of me. </p> <p>@snowjewelz: That's probably my best bet. I hate wasting money on a dress that will probably only be worn these two times but I am not sure there is another way around it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621311 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:30:36 +0000 tororojo 1621311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for something empire-waisted that has room in the tummy. I walked through The Limited the other day and they had a bunch of dresses that I think could be worn before you have a real bump, and probably for awhile after. And their dresses are all 40% off, which is music to my ears.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thelimited.com/product/chevron-striped-lace-dress/3279083.html?prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c11&#038;start=11&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;dwvar_3279083_colorCode=250&#038;prefv1=regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/product/chevron-striped-lace-dress/3279083.html?prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c11&#038;start=11&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;dwvar_3279083_colorCode=250&#038;prefv1=regular</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thelimited.com/product/obr-striped-strapless-dress/3279053.html?dwvar_3279053_colorCode=244&#038;prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c2&#038;start=2&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;prefv1=regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/product/obr-striped-strapless-dress/3279053.html?dwvar_3279053_colorCode=244&#038;prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c2&#038;start=2&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;prefv1=regular</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thelimited.com/product/strapless-bubble-chain-dress/3149263.html?prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c13&#038;start=13&#038;dwvar_3149263_colorCode=238&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;prefv1=regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/product/strapless-bubble-chain-dress/3149263.html?prefn1=saleStatus&#038;ppid=c13&#038;start=13&#038;dwvar_3149263_colorCode=238&#038;cgid=dresses&#038;prefv1=regular</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621270 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:21:03 +0000 Corduroy 1621270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no fashion help but if your current clothes fit they probably don't look funny on you. You'll probably be the only one to notice. </p> <p>Recently DH showed me a picture of my 20 week belly when I announced my pregnancy. What a flippin joke. I thought I was huge but there was just the tiniest inkling of a belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621253 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:14:21 +0000 snowjewelz 1621253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you just buy a regular dress in your new size that's flowy around the tummy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-help-the-weird-stage-of-pregnancy#post-1621242 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:11:16 +0000 Cole 1621242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dinner to go to next weekend when I will be 19 weeks and a wedding the following weekend. I am stuck because I lost a bunch of weight from morning sickness so all of my pre-pregnancy dresses and even two maternity dresses I picked up early on are all too big. I feel like everything looks silly since I mostly just look like I ate too much and not even close to pregnant.</p> <p>So what do I wear to these events? I feel like most maternity stuff mostly just makes me look lost in fabric right now and maxi dresses are probably not dress enough (plus I am short). I am so lost on this stuff-- I appreciate any help I can get! </p>
