How to Hide a Pre-Wedding Pregnancy

When a pregnancy pops up in the midst of wedding plans, you might not yet want to share the news with everyone. Using a combination of clothing choices and watching what you tell to who can this little detail a secret.

Instructions

    • 1

      Be realistic. Women who are six months or more along will not be able to hide that tummy effectivekt. But the first three months will be relatively easy, and between three and six months will depend on your size.

    • 2

      Keep your secret from anyone who is prone to gossip or talk too much. Even those who can keep a secret can accidentally slip and the word can easily spread. This is especially true if you have a group of friends or family who regularly talk to each other.

    • 3

      Try not to change your wedding schedule if you can help it. A new, earlier wedding date will raise suspicion among your guests. If you move up the date have a good cover story ready.

      Use color clothing choices to hide your bump. Only wear heavily patterned items on those body parts that remain the same size. Black and white or all one color are great choices. Dark colors work particularly well. Use accessories when you want to add a bright splash of color.

    • 5

      Choose tops that hide your protruding belly button. Try on shirts in a size larger than you normally wear and audition pregnancy tops to see which hides your stomach best. Avoid shirts that are too tight or have frills that may attract attention.

    • 6

      Wear pants that fit comfortably under your bump and that are relatively loose fitting without being baggy. Pregnancy pants will probably work best but take your time to choose the ones that best hide your bump. Choose darker colors and longer pants with a boot-cut or wide lower leg.

    • 7

      Select dresses with long, lean lines and empire waists. Slim your increasing bust with V-necks and wrap dresses. When a dress becomes too short due to your bump, wear leggings underneath.
