Maternity dresses are some of the most difficult to find in more formal styles - but they are out there. Who says just because you are expecting you can't attend a gala event and still look absolutely fabulous?
Maternity Dress Sizing
Maternity dress sizing refers to your pre-pregnancy size. If you are in your third tri-mester, you might consider going up one size. You only need to
increase your dress size toward the end of your pregnancy, and then only if you
have gained more than average weight. So if you wear a dress size 12
before you become pregnant, look for maternity dress size 12 for while you are
expecting. The maternity cut takes into account your expanding belly and
bust line, while keeping hips to your usual proportions.
Tips and Tricks
Baby doll or empire waist styles are some of the most flattering dresses for
the expectant mother. Alternatively, go for simple knits that skim your
body and move with you for ultimate comfort. These can come in either work or
more casual styles. Sometimes for more formal attire made-to-order dresses are
the best way to go. For larger ladies, you can expand your selection of styles
available to you during pregnancy by looking at some of the styles available in
the plus size dress department.
