Dressing for black tie events when pregnant

Chances are, you're not going to be able to make it through your pregnancy without being invited to at least one wedding, engagement, or function which requires you to frock up and drag out hubbies black tie. Unless you are particularly skilled at making up plausible excuses, you're going to have to attend one or two black tie events during your pregnancy, and yet while Angelina makes it look 'oh so easy' on the red carpet, you're probably standing in front of your wardrobe pulling your hair out!
When choosing a dress, repeat after me...."Comfort, comfort, comfort!" Not to be traded at the expense of style, but very important for a great night out is that you are comfortable and relaxed. Don't go for restrictive fabrics; choose softer fabrics which can move and stretch with your body. Opt for a great silhouette, a maternity dress with a waistline under the bust allows the dress to skim over your tummy. If you choose to breast feed, remember to choose a style which allows you to breast feed without having to get someone to zip you in and out of your dress!

The colour of a dress is important to consider when attending a black tie event. Black will always be popular as it is slimming and stylish (a classic combination!) however feel free to consider dresses in stylish prints and colours.

One of the best ways to step up your outfit is by accessorising! No need to go over the top, but use accessories to add flair to your outfit. Some great jewellery or a hair accessory as well as a gorgeous pair of embellished ballet flats will add style and elegance to your outfit. Choose accessories that you love so you can continue to wear them post pregnancy too!
