Plus size baby shower dresses?

[desiringgod7]

Hello! 25+4 FTM here. My baby shower is October 14th when I will be 33 weeks. I'm currently a size 22, was a size 18/20 before pregnancy. I have been looking for a good dress for my baby shower for literal weeks. I wanted something fancy that showed off my bump but fit a color scheme of greens and beiges/golds because that's the colors of the baby shower (and if the dress is nice enough I may use it for a maternity shoot). I'm struggling because a) I don't know what size I'll be that far down the line and b) I can't find anything form fitting for plus size... what dresses/outfits did you all do for your baby showers? Or what stores/websites have good plus size options?? TIA!

@desiringgod7 Have you looked at Pink Blush Maternity? I think that’s where I’d start! They have an entire plus size section.

@rethinktheink This is where I got mine from and loved it. Wore it for all my "fancy" events this summer from 30-39 weeks!

@hedeliveredme They’re super cute but just a head’s up their return policy is very crappy and surprised me vs. every other online store. Review & consider to make sure it works for you!

@peter_aka_00avenger00 I’ve only bought one dress from them and I loved it! It sucks about their return policy!!

@desiringgod7 Baltic born has some nice stuff for us size 22 ladies. I got my baby shower dress from Latched Mama, but you might be looking for something a wee bit more fancy than I had.

This dress is pretty!

@desiringgod7 If you’re price conscious has knock offs of most of the Baltic Born dresses and a very liberal return policy. May not be the same quality but for an item you’ll only wear a few times, that was fine by me.

@desiringgod7 What does FTM mean? I looked for info on frequently used acronyms in this sub but couldn't find one.

 

[desiringgod7]

@drjoe It means first time mom!!

 

[drjoe]

@desiringgod7 Thanks! I was guessing full time mom but that didn't make sense in this situation.

@desiringgod7 I looked for Empire waisted dresses. They show off/emphasizes the bump and adjusts for extra inches as the babe grows. I got this dress and it comes in green! I recommend getting a measuring tape and get your dimensions. This can help with predicting your future body.
