    Hi,

    I have a wedding coming up and I am close to 3 months pregnant. I really don't want to tell people just yet but I feel that tightness and slight bulging, so a tad bit of a belly....

    I remember a few years ago buying a dress for a wedding that had a type of little flap/layers all way down the dress and It would def hide any little bump.

    I have tried to attach a picture of something that I am after, along those lines. I think as the wedding is beginning of October, I would get away with a nice black dress.

    I am tall enough, 5'8 and usually a size 12 but I would perfer to buy size 14 in such a dress than buy a maternity dress just yet.

    I would appreciate it if anyone has seen them around or could direct me where to go?

    Thanks

    I attach a picture but not sure if is copied alright

    I bought a dress similar to this in TK Maxx about 6 weeks ago, not sure if they still have them, but worth a look.

    You could also try the peplum style dresses depending on where the waist seam falls on them:
