In this week's edition of The Lady magazine, there's a feature on very stylish mother to be the Duchess of Cambridge - their words not mine! I know you aren't pregant, but there are some really nice sort of wrap around dresses in the feature which might be of use to you (the bloating thing, been there done that!) One is a fabulous dress by Coast (my favourite) at £95 (nice but steep) there is also another which I like from People Tree (www.peopletree.co.uk) for £23 (like the price!) Anyway I was trying to think out of the box, you might find something suitable that you might like.
