Help. I need a mail-order maternity dress to conceal a 1st trimester pregnancy at a big deal job interview. Size 2-4. 1st trimester, but Showing earlier with 2nd pregnancy.

Not planning to lie to anybody, just don't want the pregnancy at this stage in interview process.

What mail order maternity companies - or, better yet, specific dresses/styles would work?

Maybe something like at this Isabella Oliver shirt dress? (https://www.isabellaoliver.com/us/shop/maternity-clothes/maternity-dresses/hannet-maternity-shirt-dress-rich-navy.htm)

I liked ASOS (I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for free shipping), but they take a while since they're English.
But there are so many maternity-looking styles that are not actually maternity...you totally don't have to get actual maternity.

I wore a jacket (closed) and pencil skirt In my 4th month. Totally wasn't obvious (at least not to people who didn't know me.) It wasn't summer though.

Jackets are out, this interview is in Baltimore, In August! But a particularly nice, loose-fitting tunic style blouse over the only good black skirt that still fits might work.

Tnanks for pointing out that it doesn't have to be a dress.

What type of job?

IMNSHO, that dress is way too casual for a "big deal" interview.

what about something like this http://www.loft.com/maternity-.....=DESC with a shrug and pencil skirt?

depending on your height this could work http://www.kohls.com/product/p.....y.jsp but I'd possibly remove the belt.

but I agree with barbara. I've gone on a bunch of "big deal" job interviews this summer, and have only worn a full suit or when it was really hot, I took a gamble and wore a beautifully tailored top with a high waisted pencil skirt.

That's a very casual dress.

Keep in mind that even if YOU think you're showing, they have never met you and don't know you. They don't know what is "normal" for you, and many women sized 2-4 have a bit of a 'belly pooch' or whatever. Don't emphasize it, but a pencil skirt that comes up and over will hide it enough, probably. I would go for looking professional over trying to hide the "bump". Act like the bump isn't there.

I think a specifically maternity dress will only emphasize it.
