Also Old Navy is having a clearance sale and they have awesome stretchy dresses.

I LIVED in dresses while I was pregnant in the summer. My baby was born Sept 9th, and I wore nothing but dresses from Amazon (they have pockets!) and Ingrid & Isabel leggings from April on.

I wear pants regularly again now and can confirm, pants are overrated.

EDIT (links): Amazon with pockets, Amazon with pockets 2, Amazon without pockets, but still good

Hi there! The dress my fiancée is wearing is from Amazon. Here’s a LINK

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EA8CK2S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

LINK! And excuse me, I said it was about $60, but it was $44.99! What a steal for a wedding dress! AND it's Amazon Prime.

[This dress](Milumia Women's Button Up Split Floral Print Flowy Party Maxi Dress Black M https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LL50S4K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_joXqzb6FZ7A3H) fits like it came from Gods personal closet. It's lightweight, breathes like Egyptian cotton, and the slit goes to your knees so it's extra breezy.

It comes in literally 30 colors, you're bound to find something you like.

It makes me feel like a princess!

Also, [this skirt](Milumia Women's Bohemian Floral Print Wrap Skirt Summer Long Maxi Skirt Black XS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MPY9XNH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AsXqzbS8G79YB) fits my flowy, California cool summer aesthetic perfectly.

There’s a couple that look similar but here’s the one I was looking at that looks like the OP’s too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J9ZQF33/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3j8ODb9H0QG9M

This version on Amazon is not likely to be original but the reviews and pictures from real brides are mostly positive:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FD5H0HW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_T0jbBbNK4C7V3

This is actually my backup dress if I end up not being able to lose the weight I gained after purchasing my other dress (thanks anxiety!) so maybe it could be the second option if you can't find one from the original designer?

Well, I don't know how open you are to an online purchase, but Amazon has this and it has some very good reviews.

So I've seen these series of dresses get referenced on FFA a lot lately. I love them conceptually, but my style doesn't really line up with florals or too much boho. I'm really enamored with these dresses, though, and feel like that breezy aesthetic is something I could work with in the summer. (Usually being much more of a minimalistic, I-like-my-geometrics-and-hard-lines sort of gal.)

Has anyone come across a dress that they'd consider similar, albeit less high-femme?

Ooh ooh I just went to a 90s party. I wore this dress: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K4DOPYO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with a tshirt, docs, a velvet choker, and patterned lacy tights. I also went OTT and got a brownish-red lipstick to wear. I thought it looked great.

This dress on Amazon is popular for maternity shoots and baby showers. It comes in a bunch of patterns, seems to flatter everyone who wears one, and is incredibly comfortable (I got one to wear to a wedding recently). Nice and flowy, no open belly. It’s also very affordable.

Need a new red dress?

Ran into the same issue so I found cute button front dresses on Amazon. Dress

Here's a solid knockoff for way cheaper, too.

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but I am going to a wedding next weekend and I purchased a dress on amazon. I thought it looked great at first but now I've scared myself into thinking it's not formal enough. The dress code was "festive formal". I have no idea what that means. Can someone please give me some opinions lol
Here is the link:

Amazon dress

Congratulations OP! You've probably heard more than enough already, but here's my two cents. Your figure is great, but that dress design is all over the place. I saw the design on Amazon and it didn't seem to fit the model well either.

I don't think that's the best design or fit for your figure. I'd go with something sleeveless or a streamlined with sleeves - the current one makes your shoulders look too broad. I'd also go with a looser fit around the middle. This current dress is way too tight and unflattering for your hip area. Maybe an A-line fit and flare? With a shorter hemline - your legs are too great to hide like that.

You absolutely can go with a sheath dress as well, but maybe not this one? Maybe one that ends a little below the knee with some looser drapery and no ribbon around your middle. I would avoid a ribbon around your middle if you're going with a sheath dress. You don't need it with a sheath. Your figure is great, so I hope you can find a suitable dress to flatter it. Congratulations again on your graduation!

Here's my suggestions. Sorry, I don't know your size and didn't want to assume. And it's OK if they're not your style - what matters most is the fit, even a cute style won't work if it doesn't fit right.

It’s on Amazon! I wore it to my courthouse wedding too. :) dress

I think this dress is cute AF.

Looks a bit like this.

Blam!

$25 from Amazon! Honestly, I'm shocked at how high the quality is at that price. I have a dress that cost a few times that which is of more or less the same quality. And the fit is perfect!

This has been the frontrunner so far, it's really pretty but she has her heart set on a long dress.

I found you more than one:

• Khaleesi
  
• For the beach - Green
  
• Almost does you justice

I apologize for the link formatting. I'm on mobile, but...Here ya go! Keep in mind, this is my own symbolism...Not necessarily about the type of fit, but more about the pattern, which "felt" right.

This felt sexy, but also like Zelda might wear it in Montgomery before NYC. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LL50S4K/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486894830&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

This also reminded me of a modernised Montgomery. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IXZS6HW/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

This reminded me of her first night in NYC, just being wild, but also a little sweet with the sleeves. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LL50S4K/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486894830&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

Again, more about symbolism than actual fit, plus I'm on a budget :), but I tried.

I've seen this one recommended here before.

Amazon has lots for cheap. Here are a variety of styles I found that you might find useful:

I have this one and it is STUNNING.

There’s also this style.

There’s also this one.

And then there is this one .

I believe all of these are under $100, many under $75.

I actually found it through this sub! It's this one

I bought this dress Reception Dress to wear. With a crinoline to keep it poofy, it was 42$.

I'm so bad at dress shopping on amazon. O__O

edit /u/rarelyserious is awesome and helped me find a dress I like. this is it! :D Thanks! ♥♥♥

I wore this dress to a wedding in June, and aside from being a total bear to iron, it worked out really well. I wasn't showing then, obviously, but I think it would work with a belly. And it was super comfy and flowy and totally wedding appropriate. Plus it was like $30!

Edit: not an ad, I just thought the dress was cute and wanted to add it to my wishlist

I like this one a lot!

I'm probably going to wear this one in red! I'll add a black sash, either satin or lace (I have an awesome black lace bolero from ages ago that I'll use, since I am 100% sure I will be cold at dinner.) If I have a moment of bridal weakness, I also own this dress in a white and blue floral that is similar to the one pictured there, but more white.

They look good with or without a petticoat underneath!

Our reception is at a music club/restaurant, so I wanted something casual and fun.

I'm both panicking and so excited! I also feel like I've been super naggy with my fiance to get his stuff done (work with a tailor for his suit, pick out his readings, etc.) but it'll all be over soon.

Now we're working on constructing our ceremony (script and music) getting invites printed and mailed in mid-March, finalizing bridal party outfits (my girls' dresses came in recently and I LOVE them! $30 on Amazon, the quality of the fabric is really nice and it looks great on two completely different looking ladies.

We also have to figure out all of our little touches, like welcome bags and bridal party gifts. Wish we could finish up our menu but given our venue (it's a food and bev minimum rather than a rental fee), it's hard to without a head count.

So. I think this will look beautiful! Can I recommend this dress for you? I wore it to a gala and it is just as beautiful in-person. I was skeptical but I didn’t even lose any sequins throughout the night! I think it would photograph well with the pink, as well! It says plus-size in the title but sizes range 2-18.

It was this one but it looked nothing like the picture. It didn't have a lot of reviews either but I decided to risk it. It looked super cheap and instead of nice lace it had his weird lace and cheap sequins. It was also just a zipper in the back and I should've just bought the one with the most reviews first.

My advice, after looking at so many, check out the reviews and customer photos. You can really see if it looks like the original and go from there.
I was also debating between this and this.
I didn't really have a set style I was looking for so I seriously debating buying all 4 and then returning the dresses I didn't like but decided on the first one (which was terrible) and then decided for $79 the second one would work.
Hope you find one you like!

My friend showed me this dress just the other day. You could get it shortened if you're not feeling full length?

And this was the short sleeved one I was also considering: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z2LC39S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EEXDCbE5SEPFN

http://amzn.to/2q0rnPY here you go!!

You're beautiful too!

Here it is. It fit really well except they come long (I'm short--5'4") so I had to have it tailored. I got a small and I was about 20 weeks and no problems fitting over the bump, though I barely had one.

$20–$30, tons of colors and patterns, awesome ratings, free shipping and returns for Prime customers:

Look at the brand MUXXN on Amazon. I have two of their dresses. Very vintage look to the dresses but modern, kinda stretchy fabric. I love how I look in both of the dresses I have from them and get compliments whenever I wear them.

I bought this FFA favourite maxi from Amazon in leopard, though the light green floral is gorgeous.

It's fantastic! The chest area can stand to be just a little bigger but that can be fixed with a different bra. It's very lightweight and comfortable. I'm 5'7 and it hits just above the top of my feet.
