Opinions please!!!!!

Postby CaseysAngel » September 4th, 2011, 7:29 pm

I am so not having fun. Tomorrow I have to attend a somewhat formal event for hubby's boss. Up until now I have avoided the Christmas parties and dinners like the plague since they started having them at the mansion. I am a country girl and formal events make me VERY uncomfortable. However, Under the circumstances (his bosses father passed away) I was not about to say no.

So I've spend all day shopping for a dress. Now you would think this would be fun but try being almost 4 months pregnant, look like your 6 months and try to find a short tea length dress. It was NOT fun. So this is what I finally settled on. I bought a shaw to go over it but Casey is totally against it as is everyone else (but me lol).

PLEASE tell me what you think honestly. I know I probably look like the good year blimp but trust me when I tell you these dresses are made to FIT and it wasn't easy finding one that was halfway "lose fitting" in a day.

(Don't look at my hair. I tried to cut it out with my face as I look horrible after trying on a zillion dresses). :hide:

Honey you look lovely. Finding the right dress and being pregnant is a hard job! If your husband doesn't like it - is he willing to shop with you until you find one?? I know the answer to that one. And with a shall, that should work nicely.

You look great! I really like that halter neckline.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate.

Retta, he LOVES the dress he doesn't like the shaw with it and neither did my sisters or mom but I feel very uncomfortable without. It hides my stomach and upper part just a bit though which is what I am not to comfortable showing so form fitting at the moment.LOL

I think it looks fantastic, and without the shawl! If the shawl makes you more comfortable, then use it but not over your shoulders. Put it behind your back then around the tops of your arms...you will be absolutely gorgeous and once you see yourself the way we do, you will have the confidence to back it up!! You look stunning honey!!!!!

It is very nice. If you look 6 months pregnant at 4 months. Then I used to look 9 months pregnant at 4 months.
I have to host events and go to them for my husband. I am just like you and I don't want to do it. I just feel all wrong. I used to set up these things with plenty of alcohol and hide most of the night because I felt so awkward. At the end of the night I felt like I had run an emotional marathon.
I tried telling myself no one was looking at me or judging me but some were because of who I was married to. Now I just do not care even if they are still judging, my husband thinks I am perfect. He always has and that is all that matters. I do still try to get out of everyone I can.
You have an advantage with this one. Everyone loves to talk about a baby bump it just makes everyone nice. So relax.

Lisa is right. I have wide long rectangle shawls we call pashmina's in every colour possible to match anything I should want to wear. You picked black and that is easy. I put them across my back around the tops of my arms then take them back under to the back and tie it. In black it looks like a part of the dress and I felt a little more covered. It is fashionable now to show the bump.

Great one Kathy!! We can always count on you!!!

You look great, Christy. And I agree with the shawl. It's very fashionable to wear it pulled back like that and you will look super and feel comfortable too.

And think about it - with Beyonce just coming out with her baby bump, you are a member of the elite!!

Have fun!

I say perfect! Honey, your one hot momma! You look quite lovely in it and I don't lie about clothes to people. I wouldn't want someone to tell me I looked good in something and didn't. Once, me and my BF went shopping when we were young. She found an outfit she loved; she asked my opinion and I told her to take it off and find something else. We still laugh about it to this day but she is glad that I told her the truth. You will look beautiful in it; with or without a shawl. Don't you let anyone tell you any differently because it's the truth. You look very fashionable and that is a love bump; be proud of it! You look like a million bucks!

You look lovely!
But wear the shawl if it makes you feel more comfortable cos it is about how you feel not how anyone else feels
