Hi all!
My brother is getting married a few days after pesach, and 11 days after my due date. I don't know if I will be still pregnant (not likely), post baby (likely) or absent (hopefully not!) at his wedding. I'm looking for the perfect maternity gown and while I know I can't be very picky, here are the specifications I am hoping to find.... If anyone knows of a such a gown available for rent/ purchase, please let me know!

The style should be roomy enough for a big belly but not look empty without a belly. I've seen gowns online that seem to both flatter a round belly and also hide any sort of waist/ lack thereof! (I didn't order those because they were the wrong colors....)

The color peach is preferable, as I would like to match my sisters if possible.

The hem should be floor length, as I think it will be more flattering and also hide my flats.

I would love if it's already tznius but I'm willing to take something that needs alterations (as long as I get it enough in advance)

I am 5"8 and about a size 6.

I live in Brooklyn.

Thanks for reading! I know my chances of finding the perfect gown are slim, but wouldn't it be awesome....?

P.s.
I am planning to call the boyan gemach and the gemach on I and east 26. If anyone knows of others, please let me know. I also looked at Tiffany rose and seraphine online. Their gowns are stunning and flattering but many were too expensive and none were the right colors.

Wow that is really tough. I bought a 2 piece from hindys maternity. Beautiful wedding top and a long fancy gown length skirt (chiffon layers). But if you might be post partum not sure you should start buying.

I know of people who were in that situation who bought a beautiful chiffon wrap from a maternity store paired with wedding skirt. The wrap is great because it can accomadate a 9th month and postpartum stomach.

Good luck!

Not maternity, but should hide it all well. Perhaps a size up would help too.

I like shopping tj max bec can always return it to my local store and get money back on same card I payed with. Or a store gift card if I payed with paypal.
Perhaps take a size 6 and a size 8, and return the one that won't fit.
