Maternity Dress: 6 Ways Wearing Maternity Dinner Dress

I must say I am very impressed with the 6 Way Maternity Dress, initially designed for maternity wear, but suitable for wearing by those not pregnant.

The fab six way maternity dress, it's perfect for all those parties, weddings and other functions you have whilst pregnant and is great for maternity evening wear. It's a great investment buy for pregnancy enabling you to ring the changes unlike any other maternity dress we've seen. It can be worn in a variety of formal maternity evening dress styles or as a maternity skirt throughout pregnancy; it also makes a great 4th trimester piece.

During your pregnancy you will have a number of formal functions to go to. These will range from weddings, parties, to formal lunches - imagine buying a new maternity dress every time you attend one of these events! The 6-way-maternity-dress enables you to have six different maternity evening dresses for the price of one!

Basically, it's a long black dress which is worn in six different ways from a maternity skirt to a maternity fashion dress to a glamorous maternity evening dress - perfect for all occasions. The 6-Way Dress can be worn as a Crossover, a Cap sleeve dress Strapless dress, a Halterneck dress, a One shoulder dress, and a maternity skirt.

The 6 way dress is made up of a long skirt, a bandeau (which is worn around the bust or the tummy), and a wide, tapered piece of fabric attached just below the bandeau which forms the ties in many of the dress versions. The fabric of the maternity dress is soft and drapey (not clingy), and has a stretch. The bandeau is snug fitting, which means it can provide support for the bust when worn as a dress, and for around the tummy when worn as a maternity skirt

It's hard to believe that this maternity dress is as flexible as it seems, and as easy and comfortable to wear. When we tried our maternity sample we were really impressed! Each maternity dress comes with a set of easy instructions. These show six main ways to wear the dress, with a few variations also explained. You'll probably find even more ways to wear it!

Maternity Dress: Fashionable Maternity Working Wear

Work maternity clothing appropriate for all of these professions makes it possible to maintain one's professional appearance while celebrating the changing shape of one's body and the joyful reason behind it.

Pregnancy has enormous impacts on one's life, some wonderful, some that present hurdles to one's professional life. One of the most difficult tasks for pregnant professionals is finding work maternity clothing that is sharp and fashionable while still being comfortable and practical.

Maternity clothing often suffers from trying to hide a pregnant woman's shape rather than celebrating it. Given the nature of pregnancy, there is no reason that a woman's new body shouldn't be cause for celebration and there is certainly no reason that a woman with child should be restricted to ugly, poorly designed clothes. There are designers all over the world that work to create fashionable options for pregnant women and many of their creations are affordable and attractive.
Work maternity clothing should be, above all else, comfortable. Pregnancy obviously entails significant changes in shape and weight and the design of clothing worn throughout pregnancy must accommodate this. Maternity clothing, even though it is obviously intended for temporary use, should be durable and of a high-quality as should any garment. Because it may be worn for more than one pregnancy, designs that incorporate timeless, traditional cuts are preferable to ones that emphasize the fads and trends of the current moment. Fortunately, these are all common characteristics of professional clothing, making fashionable work clothing and maternity clothing not mutually exclusive terms.
Because different types of work demand a different wardrobe, work maternity clothing should encompass a wide variety of designs. Many women have jobs that entail working in a office for part of their work week and doing field work or on-site work at other times. It's desirable to acquire a wardrobe that is appropriate for all of these uses. Sometimes a collection of fashionable suits will be adequate and sometimes a combination of suits and durable clothing for more intensive environments will be called for. Work maternity clothing is available in designs appropriate for these uses and many more.

Maternity Dress: 3 BIG Problems on Maternity Dressing

We come in many sizes (before or during pregnancy) and it that different sizes we pack a variety or proportions. For expectant mummy, our bust, butt or hips are tend to grow in bigger sizing during our pregnancy.

So whether you're a pear of an apple, below being tips on how to dress for your shape to max out your best assets.

If you are a BIG BUST person....
Tips:
1. Balance out a top-heavy figure with an A-line dress that will give the focus out from the bust area.
2. Look less top-heavy with belt-bottom maternity trousers/pants.
3. The slight ruche details under the bust on a maxi dress is an ideal style as it points to the your abdomen and directs all eyes to your bump.
4. Get a blouse which is light on the waist ad loosens out around the chest area. It creates a picture of a small waist and illusion of an even smaller bust. Also, V-necks, boat necks and shirt collars distract from a big bustline to highlight a flattering neckline.

To avoid:

• Ruffles, thin spaghetti straps, delicate camisole tops and embroidery that stretches across the bust - it calls for too much volume attention.
• Pencil maternity skirts as it will only accentuate the bulk at the top
• Full/puffy sleeves or tops with a lot of extra fabric on the upper body
  

If you are a BIG BUTT person....

Tips
1. Go for slightly flared, clean A-line maternity dresses/skirts with natural waist will highlight your shape. It looks best paired with a shorter jacket that creates fullness at the shoulders.
2. Do consider maternity tops ending at the hipbone visually break the figure down in a different place from the natural waistline and minimise a large derriere.
3. Lower waistlines visually break down the butt and minimise the appearance of its size.

To Avoid:

• A high waistline maternity dress as it makes your butt look bigger
• A full maternity skirt adds pounds on a bubble butt and a waistband with lots of gathering or pleats will make you look wider.
• Any maternity shirt or jacket that's baggy and stops at the fullest part of your hip
  

If you are a BIG HIPS person....
Tips:
1. Select maternity pants that fall somewhere below the natural waistline for a better fit. Straight or slightly boot let is the most flattering.
2. Shirtdress is perfect to conceal hips. A large belt helps to create curves in the middle, drawing attention away from your thighs.
3. A defined waist, full maternity skirt and strapless cut maternity dress will gather the focus to the smaller upper-half of your body.
4. Draw attention to your tops by wearing material shits with interesting necklines or accessorising with scarves and chunky jewellery.

To avoid:

• Pencil material skirts as they accentuate heavy thighs
• Side pockets on material pants
  
• Too-baggy maternity tops or too-tight maternity tops; looser materials tops will make you look large all over and tight maternity tops will make your look out of proportion

Maternity Dress: BIG Maternity Look For Valentine Day

How you are going to dress up on this coming BIG day - Valentine Day?
Below are some make up tips to get yourself look more distinctive & special on this special moment!


My, what BIG EYES you have!
Getting doll-like eyes ll boils down to the right know-how.
Step 1: Apply concealer over lids to provide a base for eyeshadow then a light and a dark eyeshadow over your lids. The light colour on the inner corner opens up your eyes while the darker shade on the outer corners provides that deep-set effect. Use an eyelash curler to pen eyes up further.
Step 2: Draw a black liner on both upper and lower lids. On the lower lids, draw from outer corners to the middle of the eyeball only, or else your ryes will end up looking small.
Step 3: Coat lashes with two coats of mascara, or use individual false lashes from mid to outer corners of lashes.

BIG & POUTY LIPS
With these nifty lip-plumping steps, you can oomph-up your puckers without a filler injection.
Step 1: Dab a light layer of concealer over lips. This allows you to reshape the size of your lips, it also acts as a base to help make your lippie last longer.
Step 2: Enlarge your lips slightly by using a lip liner directly outside the natural lip line before colouring it in. Be careful not to use a too-dark colour. One that resembles your natural lip colour looks more believable.
Step 3: Colour your lips in with the lip liner before topping up with gloss at the centre of your pout.

Bye-bye BIG ZIT
Need to hide a pimple pronto but don't have much time? Here's the fastest way to do it:
Step 1: Before you apply make-up directly on the zit, be sure to treat it with a pimple treatment to clear bacteria and to stave away further inflammation.
Step 2: Pick a concealer that matches your skin tone or one that colour-corrects. Apply concealer on the zit itself and gently dab to hide the reddishness.
Step 3: Dust your skin with a light layer of powder. This will help set the concealer too.

Get BIG HAIR
All it takes is three simple steps to turn your hair from limp to ALIVE!
Step 1: If you have straight hair, an easy way to add volume is by curling the lengths. Using a volumising mousse before you style is very helpful. If you have short hair, rubbing texturiser between your palms before raking through your stands is all it takes.
Step 2: Tease the roots of your hair with a fine-toothed comb to your desired height.
Step 3: With your head down, give hair a good spritz of hairspray, focusing on the roots. Flip head over and use hands to slightly ruche up hair for maximum height.

Maternity Dress: Wearing Big Maternity Style

To Wear in a Big Shirt!

Plain white oversized shirts will be another great maternity clothing alternative. Always remember to balance it out with maternity pants, or you can go casual with maternity jeans (forget full skirts or long skirts!). A waisted belt can be added as your accessory and it serves for style and decoration.

Big Accessories!


Accessories have been upgraded to a starring role these days. The focus: eyeglasses and watches. After all, it makes a lot of style sense since big frames make your face features look smaller and give a maverick feel to an ensemble. Try wearing a plain baby tee and a pair of acid-wash maternity denim Bermuda or simply adorn your wrist with an oversized metal watch or coloured bangle

Maternity Dress: Dressing In Black & White

Every season some colour is touted as being the hottest new thing, but somehow classic black & white always remains in fashion.

Dressing in black and white is the rules of black being slimming and white adding width still apply but how to wear to get yourself look more fabulous in black & white?

Everything looks smaller in black.
During pregnancy some lucky people seem to limit their size increase to growing a beautiful compact bump out the front, while the rest of them stays exactly the same. But for many of us, pregnancy is a time when we grow…and grow…and what used to be our waist has well and truly disappeared by the end of the second trimester, or even earlier. If this sounds like you, if your bump is sizeable and you’re feeling…ahem…very curvaceous…then a little fashion ‘black magic’ may be called for.
Pregnant actress Jessica Alben(seen here well into her pregnancy, and she is rumoured to be carrying twins!) used black to cover it all up at a recent appearance.
If you are going to choose for your maternity dress in black and white clothing is polka dots, make sure they are oversized. Small polka dots will date you. Any large graphic black-and-white print is popular, and you can kick it up a notch or tone it down a notch by what you pair with it. A lime green tank with a black and white floral skirt draws attention, while the same skirt with a black sweater calms the look down. Put the tank under the sweater and you are ready to go from work to a night on the town.
Black and white is generally a more pulled together look, but if you want to wear black and white maternity clothes, you are looking great in a pair of black-and-white checked shirt with your favorite material jeans.
Black shoes are versatile and probably something you already own, but black shoes with white details pack more punch and help pull the outfit together.
For your jewelry accessories, you can go all the way with black and white enamal bangles or cuffs. Otherwise choose to add a shot of color with multicolored strands of necklaces or add some shine with a mix of silver and gold.

Maternity Dress: Are Your Shoes Fit for Pregnancy?

Your feet need extra pampering when you're pregnant. Here is my previous posting on maternity shoes.

It's essential to treat your feet right during pregnancy. That means choosing shoes that are roomy and comfortable, and that offer adequate support. According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons(ACFAS), during pregnancy your feet may grow a half to a full size permanently. To ease pregnancy-related foot discomfort, the ACFAS recommends wearing an arch support to help support the extra weight your feet will be carrying, wearing athletic shoes with a roomy toe box, and wearing support stockings to minimize foot and ankle swelling.


In addition, here are questions to ask yourself while shoe shopping:-


Does it have a square toe? Not only are square toes in style, but the extra room helps ward off painful corns and bunions.

Does it have a broad, low heel? A simple loafer with a low, stacked heel offers much better support for your weight than a low-heeled pump.


Does it offer ankle support? You might think flat shoes are better than heels, but some ballet flats and moccasins don't offer adequate ankle support. Walk around the store -- if your foot lifts out of it, there's not enough support.

If it's an everyday shoe, does it have a rubber sole? These shock absorbers are easier on your knees and back. One great trend for pregnant women is "mock sneaks," which are athletic-style, slip-on, rubber-soled shoes in leather and suede.
