maternity bridesmaids dresses

marie, one of my best friends from college, is getting married december 19th and i am honored to be a bridesmaid in it. yes, i am guessing you are doing the math in your head, trying to figure out how huge i will be far along i will be by the time the wedding rolls around. it is true. i will be exactly 3 weeks from my due date. luckily marie is a very laid back bride and has decided to let all of the bridesmaids pick out their own black dresses, which is perfect for me, and her future sister-in-law who is also pregnant. i know, she is awesome right? the thought of trying to purchase a bridesmaid dress way ahead of time was really freaking me out seeing as i have no idea how big i will be by december.

anywhoo... because i am the anal, ocd, type-a person that i am, i have already started browsing the internet for different options, hoping to find something elegant/flattering/not too expensive, seeing as i probably won't wear it again. i have found a few options that i think are pretty great.

so what do you guys think? i definitely think the first one is the most stunning, but want to see if the other girls are going short or long first. i think the other black ones are beautiful and i might actually wear them again since they are short. hmmmm, decisions decisions. 

let me know which one you like the best :) i really do value your opinions. 

i had a blast today and started a project that i will catch you up on tomorrow :) 

love, 
maggie

LOVE the first one. Looks like a bridemaids dress, and it's very pretty! Plus, it's December! A long dress seems more fitting for the winter. From the others, I like the 3rd & 5th equally as 2nd best. If you wanna go with short, I don't think you could go wrong with those. I really don't like the 2nd one at all... it's okay, but just looks like a 'nothing-special' black dress. =) Good luck!

the first one, like you said, is stunning. the last one is my next favorite. for what it's worth, i was 39 weeks pg at amanda's wedding and i just ordered the dress 4 sizes bigger than normal. of course, it was shorter in the front since it wasn't maternity. but you're going to look beautiful!!!!!

#1 definitely if long is the way everyone is going, #4 and #5 if short. I can't wait to see you all preggers in Dec! Are you going to be at the couples shower next month??

I like the one on the right for the long ones. But I LOVE the last two. Second to last if it's more formal. Last one if it's a little more casual. Very excited for you guys!
