    Well, you may not even be showing very much at 3 months along!  I think Ms. Dumpling was able to fit into the mermaid dress she originally bought when she was about 4-months along without any big alterations.

    But what about doing an empire waisted dress, or something with a fitted natural waist and then an a-line style?  The dress Guliana Rancic (sp?) wore at the SAG awards this year was very bridal flowy, but also super forgiving in the waist.

    cols="50" rows="8" id="post_content">oooh the Grecian Gooddess look :)

    Maybe not this exact dress but I like this one. Congrats btw :) I wouldn’t worry too much about how much weight you’ll gain. I gained maybe five lbs by that point.

    empire waists for big bumps, though at 3ish mos you might not even be showing that much yet.. i would talk to the seamstress to see if they can do anything with alterations.

    Check out this one too. It should work with your budget, it’s $229. And it looks like you can get it ASAP.

    You will not be showing nearly as much, I would think.
    WHatever you do, do not get a corset bra thing. It will definitely be uncomfortable.

    I love the pics of this bride in Claire Pettibone's "real brides" blog.  She is showing and looks gorgeous. Not sure if you could find something in a similar style.. http://clairepettibone.com/blog/category/real-brides/

    @Naiexoxo: Best of luck but do not limit yourself to maternity styles only. You may be able to find something on the classifieds here.

    I just became a member and don't know if my post is coming too late.  I recently came across a collection of maternity wedding gowns from Canada.  They're really pretty.  If you haven't found your dress yet, check them out. I think they ship to the USA.

    good luck!
