| Baby Shower Dress from More Me |
So after my little rant on the awful maxi dress, I did a little searching. Putting in Retro Maternity I found a few really great dresses. I was sent at a webpage I love when I'm not sporting a basketball belly. If you haven't been to it yet
ModCloth does vintage/retro clothing. I have gotten a dress(not prego) from them before and loved it. Every time I visit their site I fall in love with a (or 50) new dress (or shirt, or skirt, or shoes, or.....). I typed in maternity and low and behold they have a bunch of dresses a bit more reasonably priced than
A Pea in the Pod which has some adorable dresses but as I have said before I can't stand spending that kind of money on a dress I may wear once to a moderately special occasion (I think I spent $20 on a cocktail dress for my husband's company Christmas Party that I have worn numerous times). What is really sad is that if this was a pair of shoes I think I would have no problem putting down $150 even if I wore them one night.
I really loved
The Baby Shower Dress from More of Me Maternity. Which comes in Blue and Pink depending on the gender of the baby. Super cute! The style is really great too. Not to mention the cut and length suits me well. On the down side on sale it is $99, not bad but regular priced $198. What is to guarantee I have a boy/girl ever again. However looking at it I think I could make it work pregnant or not. Still I think my husband might go catatonic if I spent his performance chip money for our diesel on a single dress.
On Modcloth I found dress on their
From Here to Maternity line. (also the
Belles and Whistles Dress is fabulous)
My hesitancy with these is they don't look like they would actually fit especially during the later weeks of my pregnancy though definitely afterward so that's a plus but I also wouldn't be spending terribly much for a dress that might have to wait till baby is out. The last page I found that I loved was
Shabby Apple's mama apple. Exactly what I was looking for. Still in the upper range for some of them but not over my $100 limit for the wedding. Some of them would also definitely work for wearing after baby. So now I have options to mull over.
As a side note apologies to those of you who can wear those maxi dresses, though you probably are people who wish your counter tops were higher (I don't, I need them lower).
