What did you think of Alex's dress? In my day you tried to cover up your bump not accentuate it. I thought it looked awful. But I am 74 after all!

[Mamyalynne]

Not to my taste but she looked so radiant it is hard to be disapproving.

[Caran]

I agree Mamya she certainly looked radiant but the dress was awful.

[Mamyalynne]

Yeah but who cares.

[Cloverjo]

Women used to wear massive tents and looked like a ship in full sail. I thought she looked great.

I've seen her in the flesh while not pregnant, and she is tiny. I don't know how she's fitting that baby in. It'll probably be bigger than she is.

[anneasquith]

Modern dress now for pregnancy.

[douglas9401]

Not a fan but she was looking well tonight and even acting human, going off script.

[carolegif]

It looked awful, but then so did those awful smocks that women had to wear. There must be a better compromise, but then again, with days to go to the birth you are not at your best!

[Old_Geezer]

Well, you're looking good for your age Caran.

[woofgang]

Why not accentuate the bump?

[dunnitall]

Agree with you Caran especially as it's for television viewing but modernity has taken over values as far as I'm concerned and it's all a matter of opinion now rather than 'how things used to be' ..better not start on that one lol.

[Cloverjo]

She would have looked the size of a house if she'd worn one of those old tent/smock things.

It's the modern way to wear slim-fitting clothes in pregnancy.

[pastafreak]

What have "values" to do with showing off ones bump? Is it offensive? Should it be hidden? A bit difficult I'd say.
I didn't see the dress...but even though I'm in my 70th year, it's not something that would bother me.

[Mamyalynne]

She's sat down in this clip but you'll get the idea.

I didn't like the dress but she looked great.

[NellieMay]

I didn't see it, I like her, but I think she wears some rather horrible dresses during her pregnancy anyway. There was a dreadful frilly thing the other day. I am in my 70s too, but I don't mind seeing the bumps, but not bare ones with crop tops and low rise jeans and adorned with pierced belly buttons.

[NellieMay]

Just looked at the clinic and think she looks great in that dress, not as fussy as heusual clothing.
