If its cold, I'd go with nude tights/hose with ballet flats or a round closed-toe pump with a sensible heel (like 2-2.5") or a wedge heel. </p> <p>This is my favorite (i.e. most comfortable) wedge heel. Its pricey, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about - I'm sure tons of retailers have similar styles.</p> <p><a href="http://www.colehaan.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ColeHaan_US-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=D33294&#038;dwvar_D33294_width=B&#038;dwvar_D33294_color=Black/black%20Pat&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.colehaan.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ColeHaan_US-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=D33294&#038;dwvar_D33294_width=B&#038;dwvar_D33294_color=Black/black%20Pat&#038;size=</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575773 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:46:40 +0000 Ash 1575773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: yay or nay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575758 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:41:31 +0000 Ash 1575758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I suck so bad at this...

So, it hid my lovely (haha) new lady lumps around my belly. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575384 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:18:17 +0000 gingerbebe 1575384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Find a wrap or faux-wrap dress that has the tie/sash come below your boobs. They are figure flattering and usually have enough drape in the front to cover any pooch. I like 3/4 sleeve ones, but if you find a short sleeve or sleeveless kind, you can just throw a cardigan over it and wear tights/hose if its cold out.</p> <p>Some examples:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1608772/simply-vera-vera-wang-wrap-dress-petite.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1608772/simply-vera-vera-wang-wrap-dress-petite.jsp</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1581973/chaps-geometric-faux-wrap-dress.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1581973/chaps-geometric-faux-wrap-dress.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575335 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 12:59:05 +0000 Ash 1575335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: perfect!

If you're not breastfeeding, I would suggest maybe Loft? They have 40% off everything and there are some cute, conservative dresses. However, most of them have necklines that would make nursing complicated... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575091 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:35:34 +0000 matador84 1575091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a black peplum skirt and a nice tee tucked in with a cardi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1575049 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:21:40 +0000 Mamaof2 1575049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a maternity dress that I already had - it crossed at the chest (I wanted to be able to nurse if needed) and it worked out great! This is the only pic I can find </p> [attach=4342/14/n46o80.600x401.July2011-301.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1574804 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:11:04 +0000 mediagirl 1574804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: are you breastfeeding? Do you think you'll be able to get through service and get home without having to do so? I wore a nice dress I bought from Macy's (I took a few hours one night after work to go shopping and spent it trying on dresses) and it worked out well. It still fits now since I bought it when I was, like you, just under pregnancy weight. I also made sure it was re-wearable so I've worn it for 2 weddings and 2 Christmas services since. :)</p> <p>My biggest problem was it was not a breastfeeding dress. When we got home, I had to go upstairs so I could strip completely to feed my babe. :) If you can handle that, I'd say go to a department store and try on a bunch of classic style dresses. Something with coverage for the girls and that comes down to close to your knee. I'm kind of conservative when it comes to church...</p> <p>ETA: AWFUL photo but it shows the whole thing. </p> <p>[attach=251/14/n46kuj.400x600.IMG_1152.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-los-baptism-next-month#post-1574697 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:39:18 +0000 Ash 1574697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a jeans and tank top kind of girl and I suck at knowing the right places to look when I need to wear something else. </p> <p>Lo is getting baptized next month and I have no clue what to wear. I'm below my pre pregnancy weight but I have no clue how to dress this crazy postpartum body.</p> <p>Any ideas? Pics/links appreciated! </p>
