The Dress Part Five: The Return of the Dress


I spent yesterday with my future mother in law, Maria, and her SCA friends. I had tons of fun and got to talk about the wedding with Maria. She agrees with me that we can easily self cater and is very willing to help. Now I just have to convince her son that it's a good idea. Maria's SCA friends turned out to be helpful. One of them is going to help me make earrings for me and my bridesmaids. Maria also bought me felt to make dahlias in lieu of corsages. While doing all this, I had this epiphany about my dress. It's going to be super hard to sew the dress I picked out ahead of time and it would be super stressful to do it close enough to the wedding that we'd have accurate measurements. So out the window with that dress idea. New idea is this: purchase a white maternity top and leggings and make a long, white tulle skirt (aka tutu) with a tie waist and wear it right under my bust (you know, empire waist). It has room for the baby, I still get my tulle skirt and I can make it any time between now and the wedding and it'll still fit.
So here's the question. I went in search of cool, white maternity tops (you know, not plain tanks or tees) and found some. I narrowed it down to three choice. Which one would you choose? (If you click on the picture, it'll go full screen)

    #2 Tulle will look amazing with the lace overlay.

    I like number 2 for you, but number 3 is more "wedding-y" :) --Fae
