I hate wearing dresses for the same reason! However I just bought my first maxi dress ever at torrid. It looks great I find that the key is to not get a dress with a wide skirt. So the straighter the skirt the less barellesque lol do u know what I mean? I hope that helped. I'm excited to wear a dress for the first time since 2004!

I cant find any good maternity stuff at burlington or target for plus size :-( try a torrid if you have one. G
I got a few dresses and shirts buy one get one for a dollar on clearance and they gave me the clearance deal for a dress that wasn't clearance because they didn't have my size in the clearance one I wanted. Plus I got haute cash that I can spent on my next purchase :-)

Go to target they have awesome dresses. I got a regular strapless.dress.and a bunch of lo g skirts they Aren't maternity but the only thing I ever bought maternity was a long sleeve super soft shirt w a hoodie I wear it even not pregnant its amazing(target). I just get a stretchy fabric a size up from normal. Then you can.most likely reuse it. Ever.since.I had.my first son I went from a size 3 jeans to  12 now I'm a 8 but I refuse to buy jeans anymore. So I live in yoga pants and tanks year round. Good luck momma. Target has a plus size section as well. :-)

I am plus size. I just got these cute maxi skirts. They are simple but I've gotten more complements from wearing them than anything else. I just do the maxi skirt and a plain colored tank. Its simple but so comfy.

We were gonna do it in my sister's backyard but now I found out that they changed the place, is gonna be in a hall, I don't have anything that fits me and look good in it, and I'm only 5 1/2, so imagine when I'm 7 months, and I don't wanna buy something more expensive than $150.

My advice is find a store with a sundrss that is mat. Or just find your nicest outfit you already own.
