I'll be about 7 months pregnant when I attend a friends wedding in January. I'm not a dress person, but I definitely need to get one. I'd like to keep it under $100, but I can't seem to find anything I like.
I got this, but DH thinks it's too think/see-through to wear to the wedding.
Bonus points for links/ pictures!
ETA: It's not a black-tie wedding, but it's still dressy/semi-formal. Oh, and DH is in the wedding party, if that makes a difference.

I like the dress you posted in that case! You can fancy it up with earrings and high heels and makeup. I wore this to a black tie wedding in Dec. I was 36 wks pregnant and I promise, the material didn't look so stretched/see thru in person!

I like the dress you posted. Add some heels and fabulous jewelry and you are set.

If the wedding is in January, could you wait until the after Christmas sales to buy the dress? Pea in the Pod has really cute cocktail dresses and they will likely be 40% or more off right before Christmas or right after Christmas.

@hilsy85: Hot damn, lady! You look fabulous! 
I think the dress I have is very similar to the material of your dress.

@BabyBoecksMom: thanks! I agree they look similar! Honestly, I think you can never go wrong with a black dress.

@Anagram: ha thanks! It's weird looking at that pic, like I can't believe I ever was that pregnant!

@BabyBoecksMom: I would totally wear that dress. Just dress it up with the right accessories and shoes. I love that it has sleeves. So many dresses don't for winter.

I wore the purple one to a wedding in Sept and the teal one to a wedding in August. The purple one is a maternity dress from Target. The teal one is a multiway dress.

I bought this dress pre-wedding season last year, right after we started TTC. I needed something I could wear before I was pregnant and that would still fit a bump. I wore it four times - twice pre-pregnancy, once at 11 weeks (hid the bloat perfectly since we weren't telling anyone yet), and once at 30 weeks to a black tie wedding (the boobs were a bit tight, but it looked great on a pregnant body). It was worth the money to me because I knew I could wear it a lot of times, pregnant or not.
