I am going to be attending three weddings in my third trimester. Ugh. I love weddings but I also love to be able to celebrate aka drink at them. Anyway, what are some good places for maternity cocktail/wedding guest dresses? None of the weddings are super formal so they don't need to be long and all of them are in the spring. I was looking forward to rent the runway but it looks like their "maternity" dresses are just maternity-friendly and not true maternity dresses, unless I didn't look hard enough. Unfortunately, I know I get a huge belly in the third trimester and there's no way I will be able to squeeze myself into a non-maternity dress.

ASOS has maternity and its reasonable.
A Pea in the Pod has some pricier options but if you are able to wear the same dress 3 times I wouldn’t mind investing in something nicer. There’s this one I am in love with and I wished I had an event to wear it to when I was pregnant. I’ll post a link.
Ingrid & Isabelle also has cute stuff that is maternity and looks nice but is comfy. Like jersey knit. I had one for a charity event. I think Nordstrom sells that brand but don’t quote me.

It's like rent the runway for real maternity clothes.
I used them for a new years dress when I was about 25-26 weeks pregnant (but measuring 5 weeks ahead). They even have the option to send a second size at little to no cost.

@Sams Mom: Never heard of this (hopefully will need it some day). I love love love this dress on their homepage.

@yellowbeach: that's the one I rented for new years!

Damnit - now I'm getting ads for Pea in the Pod

I was in a similar situation when I was pregnant and I used Stitch Fix! It was great, and I ended up keeping 3/4 dresses they send because they also worked for my office (formal business dress code, I just added a blazer). Three of the dresses were styles I would not have even looked at or tried on in the store, so it was an absolute win

@SweetiePie: Thanks for the link! The three weddings are with completely separate groups of people, so I am leaning towards spending a little more on a nicer dress that I can wear three times, instead of three cheaper dresses. Especially since they are all around the same time of year/level of formality. I do love Asos maternity though.
@Sams Mom: Um this is great! I have never heard of this site! Thank you!!!
@jennlin821: Oooo I forgot about stitchfix! I already have a profile with them but haven't gotten a box in awhile, but I liked the maternity items that I received last time I was pregnant.
