I can't seem to find anything I like, all the maternity gowns seem to look the same, and there's something missing. I live in a big city, so I have plenty of options to look around. Can anyone suggest where to start?

My, but you do have a challenge! There really isn't much out there for you, is there? I've put a few unique gowns in the sources. If you find something you might like, try the contact number and see if they have any distributors in your area where you could go and try on some things.
Although it's redundant, I'd seriously consider having one designed for you. Try looking up seamstresses in the phone book and call a few to see if they are interested in your challenge or if they can recommend someone who may be able to help you.
Double congrats & wishing you lots of luck!

Unfortunately Maternity gowns look like a big sack..... you can also have a regular gown converted but they will come looking off the same.... they just raise the waist and add extra fabric. Unfortunately bridesmaids dresses are not flattering and get worst for a pregnant lady. I would personally look at very high end pieces like Vera Wang to get ideas..... and see if they look any different and take a picture with you to the store.

You will probably be best to design one. I will just suggest that you don't try to hide your belly too much, because it always looks terrible. Instead make it a feature, a symbol of the love you share with your husband. I don't mean bare bely or anything, but say a simple light underlay fabric in a pure white over your belly, With a chanpagne type overlay that meets above your belly and splits either side of your tummy.
Good Luck

Talk to some dress makers and see what they can suggest, perhaps they could help you design something more suitable.
You could try this link if you haven't already, it may not be of any use to you as I have not looked for maternity dresses, but anything is a help.

You say that you've looked around, and seem to be missing something, so what about designing your own? Whatever ideas you have, good things from other dresses, put it into a drawing. It doesn't have to be great.
Take it to a seamstress, and talk to them about making it. It'd mean more to you.

Get a wedding gown with an empire waist. There are thousands of them in that style.

I hope one of these links can help you.

and if not than maybe you can find someone to make it for you. My friend did that and her dress came out to $350. Im not sure what the prices range from in your area but maybe you can look into that. Good luck!

Well, you don't wear one. Since you are probably just having a quick simple ceremony with just family, just wear a pretty dress. Hope you are doing it ASAP.
