(Photo by Wiedmaier)That's right. This spring, about four weeks before I'm scheduled to give birth to like, an actual baby, I will be walking down the aisle in front of over a hundred people as a bridesmaid for these two crazy kids. I am so, so, so happy to be in the wedding and am thrilled that my 'delicate condition' didn't give me the axe, but you know. . .I'm nervous! All eyes on me. . .which believe me, under normal circumstances I have no problem with. . .with an a enormous belly and God knows what else going on? (I'm hearing things about swollen ankles, and well swollen everything. I put my fingers in my ears when I hear these things). When I first became aware of this upcoming dilemma, I called around to local bridal shops to ask for advice. They told me I had two choices, go with a designer that carries maternity bridesmaid dresses (who knew their were such designers!?) or stick with an empire-waist, order 2-3 sizes too big and alter away. So armed with this advice, and a wonderful-bride who's actually taking my ever growing tummy into consideration, we've come up with some options and it's looking like a potential winner (!), that, believe it or not, we think will look good on all four of us - short legs, long legs and huge stomach. Want to see the dress? Fat chance, y'all know me better than that. You'll see it in due time, promise. In the meantime, if you or a friend are finding yourselves in the same predicament, here are some dresses that might work.
