Some mum’s won’t even have to invest in any new maxi dresses, due to their cut and style, your original styles will often fit and adapt to your growing bump.

Opt for a dress that offers an empire waist, as this will allow the fabric to flow freely and loosely over your bump.

Jackets in a denim wash such as a white denim look great with maxis in the summer and add a fresh and girly twist to the ensemble.  Jackets already owned can generally be used as long as worn unbuttoned.

Invest in a few different maxis in order to change your style a little throughout your pregnancy.

Orange shades are also a great look for the summer, as they look great with a tanned, bronzed skin and sunglasses.

Maxi dresses are also a great option for the expecting lady as they come in a loose material that lies softly over the bump.  Those that are expecting should however stay away from patterned styles, as they tend to maximize the bump as appose to hide it!

Put your best pieces away till after the event and use this as an excuse to go shopping!  There are many ways to dress that bump in a flattering manner, you just need to know how.

Forget the over sized dresses; slouchy joggers and super sized shirts and instead invest in something a little more stylish!  Look into which of your favourite stores in fact stock a pregnancy line.  You will be surprised at how many high-street stores in fact have a small section for expecting mums!  This section will usually stock similar styles to that of the rest of the store but in a more friendly size and fabric.

Fabric is in fact extremely important when looking into maternity wear.  You really need to invest in something that is cool, absolutely breathable and of course still stylish.

Pregnancy friendly fabrics should gently hug your growing bump as appose to suffocate it so be sure to steer away from tight fitting and clingy materials.

Features and detailing such as drawstrings, tie backs and zips will allow your clothes to grow with your bump, meaning you will get more wear out of it in the long run.

The fold of the wrap dress will also sit neatly above the baby bump; the v-neck of the dress will also show your assets off, which will also take the emphasis off your new bump.

Wrap around dresses are a great option for both the summer and the winter.  In the summer they can be teamed with cutesy flats, shades and a summer hat.  In the cooler months, they can be purchased as a long sleeve version, teamed with tights, a winter knit and boots.  This is a must-have piece for every expectant mother, not only does it look stylish; it is also super cool and comfy!  Choose block colours for the best results, patterns can in fact make your new bump look even bigger than it is!
