I have 2 black tie weddings to go to at 36 and 37 weeks pregnant and asos is the only place I've found appropriate looking dresses! Even pea in the pod didn't have anything formal enough. Yay, now I'm excited that I won't look schlumpy at the weddings :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-maternity-dresses#post-265090 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:41:35 +0000 Tidybee 265090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I splurged and got a dress on sale at a pea in the pod. It came to around $125, but I got a few uses out of it and can wear it to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-maternity-dresses#post-265089 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:40:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 265089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you checke out Asos? Us.asos.com </p> <p>I actually just ordered a dress there a couple days ago - it arrives tomorrow! Prices are good - free shipping, free returns!</p> <p>I got one other dress there in the past (pre preg) and it was nice, pretty good quality and great price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-maternity-dresses#post-265079 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:28:47 +0000 gingerseaglass 265079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any recommendations for places to buy a decent dress to wear to a wedding at 8 months? Most of the places I've checked out (ON, Gap, Loft) have jersey or cotton - nothing appropriate for an evening wedding. The dresses at motherhood maternity were cheaply made. I'd like to spend less than $100 but I'd go higher for the right dress. Anyone else in my position have any luck??? </p>
