Are you able to get to NY? My SIL rented the most gorgeous maternity gown for my wedding (she was in her 8th month).

Well...what state/country do you live in? That might allow women to offer suggestions.

Hi, I had the same problem, but I had 2 weddings about a month apart, and the second was in my 8th month!

It's very hard to find nice gowns from a gemach, so here's what I did:

I went to JCPenney and found a princess seam prom gown, on clearance for $25 because of some flaws. I zipped it up halfway, and shortened the straps and added a dickey because of the gown style.

I also got a silky material jacket in a contrasting color (also on clearance of course!). Using ribbon and fake flowers, I tried to make the jacket look like it matched the gown.

Note that this required no sewing skill (because I have none). A seamstress could probably do a better job, though.

Voila! A maternity gown for under $75, that could be reused at will! And I think it actually looks nicer than the ones in the gemachs, at least on 8 month pregnant women.



(I don't think I need to point out why I am anonymous.)

Can you find a nice suit? I wore a maternity suit for my sil's wedding in my 9th month.
