Join the maternity wedding outfit hunt
Filed under: Maternity dresses
If you've not heard of TheOutnet.com yet, then you've definitely had your head stuck in pregnancy books for way too long. It's the hotly anticipated designer bargains store from Net-A-Porter.com founder Nathalie Massenet.
I'm very excited about TheOutnet.com. I love to look on Net-A-Porter.com, but can rarely afford anything that's on it. I also generally prefer to buy ethical fashion too, but hey, a bargain's a bargain and sometimes needs must.
My mission on TheOutnet.com today is to find something I can wear to a wedding. It's in mid-June and I'll be 16 weeks pregnant. I could squeeze in to dresses that I already have, but not that comfortably really. So, off we go on a hunt...I'm writing this live as I search.
First up, a Stella McCartney dress that would accommodate a baby bump, with an eye-watering price tag...
Hmm, this Stella McCartney rhinestone paillette dress is quite rock & roll, and it's 30% off. Ah, that makes it £2,326. Perhaps a little out of my price bracket. Anyway, I couldn't wear a bra with it, and that's not really an option right now.
This is the one, an organza cocktail dress from Marchesa. It's very pretty indeed, with lots of room for a growing bump, and perfect for a wedding. Ouch, it's £1,771.
This Catherine Malandrino ruffle hem evening dress is in a better price bracket at £286, down 55% from £636. It's roomy and ultra-feminine, and I suppose I could try a strapless bra with it. Then again, maybe not.
Ooo, I've just found out how to sort by lowest price first. Let's see what I can find that might feasibly be in my price range. First up is a three-quarter-sleeve mosaic print dress by Day Birger et Mikkelsen (pictured above). It could be accessoried to look smart enough for a wedding, is a very striking print and is reduced to £63.50, down 50%. It's a definite contender. Hurrah!
Or maybe I should play it safe and opt for a classic Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress , and show off the bump. There are a few available, though I quite like this Joel jersey wrap, with 60% off at £115.
Oh no, someone please take my credit card away!
