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
