I am pregnant with baby #4 and one of the things that has been unique about this pregnancy is the number of formal events I have had to attend in my third trimester. I don’t think there is any worse investment than a formal maternity dress because they are 1) expensive; and 2) something you wear only once. For my children’s school auction, the theme was “Oscar.” All of my long formal pre-pregnancy dresses were not going to fit by growing belly; rent the runway pickings were slim; and I was not about the drop $200+ on some special maternity “gown.” So, I did what I so often do in these situations: wait until the last minute and order something from Amazon a couple days before. Normally, this does not work out, but this time it did! Let me introduce you to the perfect non-maternity, maternity formal dress (pictured below). It has all the stretch needed for a growing belly and it was totally flattering and formal. The best part: it was only $88, free returns, and it arrived in like 2 days. Also, you could totally wear it post-maternity because it is NOT at maternity dress. Seriously, this dress was a gem of a find and too good not to share. It comes in six colors and the quality was really good for the price. It is linked here.
