I'm going to try out Mine for Nine and just rent a shower dress rather than buying one. Here are the four I've narrowed down. The thing is, I have a rather large chest so I'm not sure how 2 and 4 will look. I'm currently 31 weeks, will be 33 weeks on my shower date. ETA: I live in Florida so weather is not an issue.
In order of photos below:
1. Holly (green dress)
2. Scoop Neck Front Tie (blue top/paisley bottom)
3. Polka (black)
4. Cap Sleeve (blue top/denim bottom)

@Arden: I feel like the third one is most my style of the 4, but I worry it's too boring for a shower...

The Holly one is super cute, looks like it would be flattering and comfy. Plus festive since your shower is around the holidays.

@Foodnerd81: Oooh, true I hadn't even thought of that! That one and the polka dress are definitely my favorites...

@ladyfingers: What if you added a bright colored belt, or some statement earrings to spice it up a little?

I like the black polka dot! However, I will typically always choose black!

The top one is really nice, but I voted for #2 as it is soooo cute! I don't think you can go wrong with 1-3!

So interesting, my top choice is the least favorite in the polls but I vote for #4! #2 is my second choice

Agreed--I love the top one, plus the solid lets you dress it up and make it as "you" as you want with fun accessories. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience with Mine for Nine, too!

@Arden: A belt might work! My ears aren't pierced, so boo 
Looks like Holly is in the lead!
@JessiBee: Yes, I'll definitely report back. Maybe I'll offer to write a guest blog about it!

My friend had the 2nd dress during her pregnancy. If you have a large chest, I wouldn't do that one. I remember her saying it was tight on the chest. Shame, such a cute dress.
I really like the green one. Plus you could reuse for a holiday party!

@Smurfette: You are so smart -- we do totally have our work holiday party coming up!
Yeah the really dramatic empire stuff has looked weird on me, so you're probably right.

first and second are my favorite!!
I love the first because the color is gorgeous, festive, appropriate for time of year and it looks like it will be super flattering!
But I also LOVE color and fun designs, so I love the second one. With your issues Re: bust I would say the first one then

I know I've seen that green dress somewhere-- I think this is the same one...

I like the first one for showing off the bump and looks comfy!

Thanks ladies, I ordered the Holly! I'll let you know my thoughts once it comes

Hey ladies, just wanted to let you know I got the dress -- in *two* days after it shipped (4 days after I ordered it) -- and it's AWESOME! I'm really happy they do a second size for free because I always order medium but, while it did look good, the large was so much more flattering and not as tight. So far I can highly recommend Mine for Nine!
