Fancy shmancy disco ball
I wore this dress while 31 weeks pregnant for a formal wedding. I'm 5'5", 34DD, and typically 155 lbs, and I had gained about 8 lbs by this point in pregnancy. I loved all the sequins; it kept it formal without being a floor-length dress. It was also very comfortable and had a surprising amount of stretch compared to what I thought when I placed my order. And it was a thicker material, so I didn't have to worry about panty lines or shape-wear. I ordered a medium and a large, and I was super nervous neither would fit with my bump. I ended up wearing the large, and it fit like a glove. Hugged me in all the right places and zipped up easily. I wore a strapless bra, but I could have gone without. The sequins did rub some under my arms, which is to be expected with sequins, but the arm holes were large enough that I could easily adjust to avoid scratching. I also have very long hair - down to my belt loops - which I wore down, and I probably should have gone with an up-do. Bad choice on my part. My hair was constantly getting caught up in all the sequins. But I really loved the dress and felt sexy despite being Big Pregnant.

Feeling dressy without feeling uncomfortable
I wore this dress for a "festive cocktail" rehearsal dinner while 31 weeks pregnant. The fabric is lightweight with a silky feel and slight stretch. I'm 5'5", typically 155 lbs, and 34DD chest; I had gained about 8 lbs through pregnancy when I wore the dress. I ordered a size 8 with a backup size 10 and ended up wearing the backup. It fit perfectly over my bump, and the chest area was tight enough that I didn't need to wear a bra. The shoulder strap was a little loose, but I forgot to bring a safety pin, and it still wasn't too bad. I had to adjust the strap throughout the evening, but it wasn't annoying or terribly awkward for me. And the strap falling didn't affect the support around my chest. With going up a size, I did think the dress was a little long on me. I wish the hem had hit a little higher. But overall, I think it's a great dress - especially so for pregnant women who don't want to feel frumpy.
