Bridesmaid...
My cousin is getting married in three months. I will be about five months along with number 2. She has asked me to be in her wedding and I'm thrilled, but I need a dress. She knows I'm pregnant and is really easy going about the dresses, asking only that it be navy blue or silver- everything else is up to us. I don't want to spend a lot of money ( Read more... )
Dress fit at that stage depends a little on your torso from what I can tell from comments etc on here. If you are long torso'd and have maybe a little 'fluff' / softness then you might show a lot less than if you are rail thin and shorter in the torso (that growing baby has to go somewhere!).
With my first I didn't show noticably/obvioulsy until about five months, and didn't move into maternity clothes solidly until well after six months. I've got a longer torso though. My best friend is obviously pregnant at 16 weeks (she's a trim little thing, but not hugely thin) with her second, but it's this really cute little soccer ball - the rest of her looks normal.
When I was eight months pregnant I was still able to wear a maxi dress that was deep V neck, falling from a full gathered below the bust empire line that's been in my wardrobe for years (that made Christmas easy!) but I did look a bit like the titanic LOL.
So if you feel you have to buy the dress now then look for something like you've suggested - make sure there's a bit of give in the hips and the bust (bust could keep growing), but if you've got time etc and can wait a while I'd recommend waiting until a month beforehand at best. I'd wait until you were at least past the first trimester and see what the 'poppage' is.
If you are after dress links - I'm not your girl :) I'm in a different country. Although if you are able to order from Asos you might find something there?

How long can you wait before buying? And then something with some 'forgiveness' is a great idea - either a stretchy fabric or a bunched/gathered section or whatever.
How lucky that you've got such a reasonable friend about all this - that she's totally cool with you each having whatever dresses you want etc :)
