Personal Shopper: A black tie maternity gown for Courtney E.
Courtney E. wrote, "Dear Outblush, I enjoy your site, pointing my husband to it has gotten me more than a few great gifts :). Here is my problem, I am six months pregnant (due Jan 30th) and in the beginning of December I have a black tie dinner auction for a great charity my friends put on called Child's Play. I need a dress that is both elegant and affordable. I will be going on leave when the baby is born and we will be down to just my husband's income, and besides I don't plan on attending many more black tie dinners when I am eight months pregnant. Thank you, Courtney"

also look at Isabelle Olivier. Prices are high on most things, but they have amazing black tie dresses under $200. REALLY GREAT QUALITY!

Also look at ebay. I've never been pregnant, but a non-internet-lovin friend of mine was pregnant last year, and I bought all her clothes for her. I got a lot off ebay, including vintage stuff, and she was super happy (or at least she didn't punch me in the face!)
Ooh, ooh, I also thought I'd love Etsy for maternity stuff, but it was super frustrating. :( Anyone have good etsy maternity experiences?

You can also try http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/bridal_shops_dresses.html to see what stores are in your area. Most should have a maternity section or at least a few styles that will flatter your shape. Good luck.
