A maternity dress has to be a must-buy for every pregnant woman. Even if dresses are something you would normally only wear for formal occasions, you will soon appreciate the versatility and the comfort of a maternity dress - not to mention the style!
It’s a fact of life that once you announce that you’re having a baby, then the invites for weddings, parties and formal dinners seem to flood in! At these events you’d usually wear a new dress, but it seems ridiculous to buy an item that you’ll only wear during the next nine months.
Well, the key here is to buy a dress you love, yet one that is versatile enough to wear at many different events. Perhaps a flexible style which can be altered to look differently, like the amazing “six way dress”, or one that can be dressed up or down with clever maternity accessories.
In terms of fashion and style, the old “smock dress” is completely out of maternity cool! These days, pregnant women have the pick of unusual styles - halter-necks, shimmering fabrics and bold colours are all commonplace. You can choose a black dress if you want to, but these days, many ladies choose to flaunt their bumps in scarlets, fuchsias and bold patterns. Some pregnant women often find that dresses are more comfortable to wear when they’re expecting than trousers and tops too. This is because maternity dresses are cut for comfort and without an uncomfortable waistband to dig in.
But the finest thing about a maternity dress has to be the adaptability. Nobody thinks a pregnant woman is overdressed if she’s wearing a maternity dress, so you can wear one everyday without raising eyebrows, A dress with a little jacket is perfect for work. Going out? Then accessorize with different coloured pashminas or wraps. For casual daywear, just throw on a coordinating cardigan and you’re good to go!
