Problem Solved: Where to Shop the Best Maternity Wedding Guest Dresses
Deciding on what to wear as a wedding guest can be tricky enough, but throw a blossoming baby bump into the mix and your options suddenly seem a lot more limited. Trying to style out a piece you already own you don’t know how quickly your shape can change, and there’s nothing worse than tugging at the hem of a dress all afternoon and feeling self-conscious—minus a glass of chilled prosecco in hand.
Luckily, retailers have stepped up their game when it comes to pregnancy occasion-wear (with some even catering specifically for expectant bridesmaids). ASOS is a treasure trove of pretty embellished dresses that we’ve often found ourselves wishing were available in regular cuts. There’s a big selection, so here’s hoping you don’t bump into your sartorial double on the big day.
