Maternity Dress Ideas

Every expecting woman needs a good dress or two in her wardrobe. During pregnancy, it sometimes seems excessive to buy a lot of nice maternity dresses that can only be worn for a few months. However, during the course of nine months of pregnancy we inevitably come upon an occasion which really calls for a dress- a wedding, an office party, an evening out with our spouse or even our own baby shower.

Many expecting women actually find that dresses are more comfortable to wear when expecting than a pant and top combo. Even women that do not typically wear dresses for their day to day activities may find that a dress is the easiest and most comfortable clothing to wear when they are pregnant. For one thing, most maternity dresses are made with plenty of room in the belly to comfortably stretch for all nine months of your pregnancy. They also provide plenty of belly coverage so there is no worry about a top getting too short as your belly expands.

Most women like not having a waistband cutting into their belly from the early weeks of nausea to the final weeks when nothing seems to stay on your hips. Also, with a dress you know you are always well put together with no issue of mixing and matching items in your wardrobe which may no longer fit right.

Pregnant women can actually get away with wearing a dress in just about any venue. Where a non-pregnant woman may look a little over the top throwing on a dress to pick up kids at school, a pregnant woman wearing a maternity dress in the pickup line at school seems perfectly normal. You can even wear the same style dress for an everyday errand to the grocery or shopping mall that you would wear out to lunch with friends, to the office or even to a wedding.

Some maternity dresses to consider this season that are super versatile and flattering to just about any body type includes the following:

Maternal America has come out with their bestselling Flutter Crochet Dress in a new raspberry sorbet color which is sure to be a hit this season. The flutter design in both the dress and top is very flattering for pregnancy. This sleeveless style is fitted across bust with ruching and cascades down the middle with plenty of fabric for an expanding belly. The crocheted hemline gives with dress an easy elegance. This is the perfect baby shower dress!

Just about every woman feels extra pretty in a flattering dress. Maternity dresses that are well styled and made with soft stretchy fabric where you need it will bring out all of the flattering curves of your pregnancy and hide the rest. Pregnancy is one time in a woman's life when she can particularly appreciate being treated with a bit more dignity and respect. There is no better way to bring out your feminine side and glow in your pregnancy than when wearing a flattering dress. So, if the dress fits then wear it and enjoy all the extra fuss and attention you may get during your pregnancy because you deserve it!
