that is ADORABLE! Might even work with a bump?!
Actually, i ordered my true size and when it came in the mail for me, one of my concerns was that it would make me look a little prego because it was so big and puffy-like at the lower part of the dress. However, after trying it on, i got over that really quickly. It was that cute!
So i would say, yes, it would work well with a bump :)
