Title says it all.
I have three weddings coming up and its way too early for me to announce my pregnancy because of previous second trimester losses.
Which style dress or skirt/shirt will help me hide my 5 month pregnancy?
Also, has anyone worn a girdle in their fifth month?
I’m usually a size 2-4 so I’m really showing.

I was just wearing bigger clothes for a while, but by 16-18 weeks I couldn’t hide it anymore. I didn’t announce it, but it was a והמבין יבין type of situation. I would try more a-line dresses with no real defined waistline. I would not and could not wear a girdle at 5 months.

I wouldn't wear a girdle, I don't think it's healthy for the baby, also it won't really help. You want to avoid the classic empire waist pregnancy style. A more floaty layered style dress may help disguise, but you will likely look fat.

Please ask your doctor first but I wore a girdle through my ninth month, I like for my clothing to lay smoothly and it’s partially a self-esteem thing. Maybe check Zara or Cos for dress with a narrow straight cut and size up and go to a seamstress to take in around the arms/cuffs to adjust the length.

Boxy short top or loose dress. But really you should try on to see what suits you.

Thanks everyone!
I guess I am looking for a wrap style dress.
Does solid black hide body shape better than floral?

A girdle is going to be really uncomfortable at your size. Look for clothes that make you look fat rather than pregnant.

Floral will hide it better than a solid colour as it distracts

Try a loose dress with an open blazer to hide the round belly shape from side profile.
