Can you post a picture of you in the dress? I can't imagine you'd look like a blob in anything. BUT, it's an important day, and you will look at the pictures forever, so if you don't feel beautiful, don't wear it! </p> <p>I'm with you on wanting something maternity though. By 19 weeks, I was over trying to cram my body in regular clothes. </p> <p>I know they can be kind of boring, but have you considered an actual bridesmaid's dress? This one from David's Bridal is cute, would hug the bump, and looks comfy. It's not very "glam," but you could do it up with jewelery... big deco earrings and a cocktail ring.</p> <p>[attach=1879/15/nny2td.387x516.Screen-shot-2015-05-06-at-4.07.56-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169112 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:36:27 +0000 birdofafeather 2169112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buttermilk: It's so pretty! I saw that today but I think it's too light for SIL's preference. I think her colors are more vibrant so the lavender/lilac would be too muted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169108 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:35:13 +0000 birdofafeather 2169108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: It is! I go back and forth about whether or not I think it will help show the bump or make it look bad. It might be a game time decision but glad I have extra options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169057 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:17:47 +0000 raspberries 2169057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Is your original purple dress from Asos? I bought that one in navy blue for a holiday party I was attending at 18 weeks and it looked so frumpy I ended up returning it. I think it's one of those dresses that looks good on tall, thin pregnant women, but it looked like a Golden Girls dress on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169051 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:16:14 +0000 buttermilk 2169051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one is light purple but so pretty!<br /> <a href="http://us.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5011857" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5011857</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169045 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:14:50 +0000 buttermilk 2169045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the purple dress you have!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2169018 Wed, 06 May 2015 14:01:42 +0000 CakeLady 2169018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the original dress.

I bought a purple knee length dress for a wedding I didn't end up wearing from motherhood maternity a while back that might work for you. I tried to find it online but couldn't- it's a deeper purple, A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline with lace short sleeves. It's a size small, though it fit me and I'm usually an 8/10/12 pre-preg. If it might work for you, let me know and I can send you pictures to see if it might work for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2168898 Wed, 06 May 2015 12:15:54 +0000 birdofafeather 2168898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: @Truth Bombs: that's the one that my other SIL ordered, but i will be too big for it. it wouldn't hug the bump and it would look more like a blob. the beading was pretty fitted.</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: i thought that, and i ordered a couple wrap/stretchy type dresses to maybe accentuate the bump more so i look pregnant and not blobby, but they definitely don't have the glam factor. i should get them next week.</p> <p>@Adira: i'm not a strapless fan, but i should definitely look around that site more because they have lots of colors! finding purple is HARD! </p> [attach=1362/15/nnxumi.365x559.Screen-Shot-2015-05-06-at-10.12.33-AM.png] [attach=1362/15/nnxumj.372x563.Screen-Shot-2015-05-06-at-10.15.31-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2168889 Wed, 06 May 2015 12:08:04 +0000 birdofafeather 2168889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: @lady grey: those two are really similar and gorgeous, but as this is my second and i already am a little bigger than last time, i know there wouldn't be enough room for my bump and still look good. my other SIL ordered a similar dress and thought it might work for me, but one look and the beading wouldn't stretch enough and the shape would look weird. if i weren't pregnant, i would totally splurge for one of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2168887 Wed, 06 May 2015 12:05:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2168887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: one thing to consider is that at 19 weeks, you may not need maternity! I'm 20 weeks now and think that a maternity dress might still be a bit too much fabric for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2168884 Wed, 06 May 2015 12:05:09 +0000 Adira 2168884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_short-strapless-dress-with-sequin-bodice-f15419#close" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_short-strapless-dress-with-sequin-bodice-f15419#close</a></p> <p>It's not maternity, but it's empire waist, so should accommodate a bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-finding-a-purple-bridesmaid-dress-19-weeks-pregnant#post-2168882 Wed, 06 May 2015 12:03:53 +0000 Truth Bombs 2168882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Yeah I probably wouldn't rock it either but for the right person it's a cool dress.
