with the use of more and more rhinestones, there are also a lot of rhinestone settings that hook into all kinds of fabric

Not only do they rip the fabric it catches on, it also causes the settings to loose their stones.
I put my yasser-amira like costume on a large piece of bubblewrap/cotton towel, then roll it up gently so the settings can't damage the fabric of the skirt.
You look fabulous, after 5 months of pregnancy your belly is relative small. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a beautiful big belly!
