I've been loving this process because it's the first time I've had a hard time choosing a bridesmaid's dress because I like too many! Definitely looking forward to owning the dress and wearing to other events in the future. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600363 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:13:46 +0000 knittylady 600363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremama: Oooh! That's really helpful! Thank you!<br /> @JessiBee: There weren't any that I saw with a clear empire waist... I might have to invest in some serious spanxx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600339 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:09:20 +0000 Amelieisme 600339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the only one who has chosen number 1 so far. My concern is that your boobs can get HUGE when nursing and I guess number 2 would make me a little self conscious in a wedding setting. I guess it depends how modest you are about cleavage! </p> <p>Although, number 2 would be easier for nursing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600315 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:05:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 600315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That second dress is so pretty!! Where is it from?? I think that one will be easier pp/ nursing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600312 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:05:22 +0000 JessiBee 600312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both look really fitted through the waist. I'm only 3 weeks PP, but the waist area is not where I want attention (or fitted) clothing at the moment. Is there something with a higher waist...or even better, is it not quite as tight there as I think, because the pics are of a tiny model? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600260 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:57:16 +0000 bunnylove08 600260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cap sleeve so you don't have to undress to nurse/pump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600052 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:23:55 +0000 MamaMoose 600052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup dress two will be best! You can pop out a boob to nurse. Plus the neck line draws attention to your boobs which will be your fave feature of your new bod! For what's its worth I was fitting into all of my regular clothes by 1 month pp so hopefully you'll have a similar experience and feel great by the time of the wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600039 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:21:48 +0000 futuremama 600039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've worn/tried on both of these dresses. They're both really forgiving in the waist line. I've never had a LO, so I'm not familiar with all of the post partum fun, but dress 1 could be pretty tough for nursing. Dress 2 is pretty forgiving in the chest (in other words, huge on me). I think it would be the best choice. It should have room to grow into and you can probably just pull it down to nurse. I would probably only order one size up from normal. The bottom is very forgiving. The outside fabric is very loose, and you can just cut into the lining if it is snug. It really depends on how busty you are to start with though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-600023 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:20:21 +0000 lemondrop 600023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the second so you can rock the new cleavage you'll have! It will also be way cooler if you are concerned about warm weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599898 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:05:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 599898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Not at all! You should enjoy every *perk* pg offers! All the more reason to wear option 2! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599890 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:05:06 +0000 mrsjazz 599890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are both cute dresses. Dress 2 looks like you might be able to pull it down to nurse, whereas the other one you'd have to take that dress half off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599882 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:03:58 +0000 knittylady 599882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adnama: Yup! The bride is being very nice that way :)</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Hehe, I'm usually small chested and have gone up a size and a half while pregnant. Is it bad that I'm excited to fill out dresses??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599873 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:02:49 +0000 MediaNaranja 599873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dress 2 seems like it would be easier for nursing, but take that with an enormous grain of salt, as I am not (nor have I been) pg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599871 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:02:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 599871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the cap sleeve option . . . because it is looks like it would allow for more cleavage if need be! :) Both are good choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599870 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:02:36 +0000 Bao 599870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second one, it sounds like it would make your life easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599869 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:01:57 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 599869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are both so pretty! I picked the cap sleeve one. </p> <p>Do you each get to pick what one you want to wear in the same colour? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599858 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:01:16 +0000 pelikila 599858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would vote the cap sleeves/v-neck because you'll have less of the dress to have to pull down/take off if you are nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599854 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:00:29 +0000 knittylady 599854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can add other choices if neither of these look like they work, it's just that these were my favorite so far. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-bridesmaids-dress-for-2-mos-pp#post-599850 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:59:55 +0000 knittylady 599850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my BIL's wedding in August. If baby comes on his due date-ish I'll be 2 and a half months post partum. Of course it's time to order the dress I'll be wearing NOW though, and I'm at a loss for what will be the most flattering on my new mommy body. I'm figuring I'll order 2 sizes up from my normal pre-pregnancy size, but was wondering what you ladies who've been through it think about the cuts and styles of my top two choices. Things I'm considering:</p> <p>It could be hot!<br /> Nursing breaks<br /> Insecurities about waist line</p> <p>Anything else? Which dress would you choose for 2.5 mos PP?</p> <p>[attach=2372/13/mixtrw.308x410.687971.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2372/13/mixtrx.225x300.AAAACwU3ExAAAAAAAWSHdA.jpg] </p>
