Maternity dress ok for BM's?

We just decided to move the wedding up three months from July to April.  The only thinking I'm really freaking out about is the BM dresses since I know that at David's (where I was thinking about getting them) they can take up to 3 months to come in.  It's cutting it close and I know a lot of girls won't have the money by next weekend to order.  I found this super cute dress online at Target for only $40 but it's a maternity dress.  Do you think this would look ok? I've never worn a maternity dress so I wouldn't know! lol

Re: Maternity dress ok for BM's?

  • Can you check department stores?  My girls got their dresses at Macy's for about $60. SOME maternity clothes fit like regular clothes, but they are designed to go over pregnant bellies, so the shape and fabric is going to be different from regular clothes. I just think it would be smarter to go to a department store if you are going to shop off the rack. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Nevermind, soon after posting I realized that they have a whole section of BM dress that come in the same colors I want!  Now my only problem is getting the girls to all ordre online without being able to try on sizes!

    </div><div>I have checked Macy's and Dillards and all of their dresses right now are pretty dreadful.  Plus I want to do a light pink and a dark pink which is why the Target online dresses are looking so good!

  • Well, since you found some from their BM collection in the right color, that's awesome!

  • Check David's! My girls ordered just two weeks ago for our 4/20 wedding. When we ordered they said they would be in by the end of February...but two of my girls dressed already came in!
