5 Hot Maternity Bridesmaid Dresses
December 14th, 2010 by bridesmaiddress666Congratulations, you’re expecting, and on top of that your best friend is getting married! But with the due date 8 months away and your best friend’s wedding just 6 months away, will you still be able to squeeze your pregnant body into a bridesmaid dress and look gorgeous to boot? Not to worry-of course you will!
Bridesmaid dress designers know all too well that members of a wedding party may be pregnant on the big day. That’s why they’ve designed special maternity bridesmaid dresses just for you. These dresses take into consideration expanding waistlines and changing body contours, and still remain fashionable and beautiful.
Empire Waistlines
No matter how early you are into your pregnancy, you may feel self-conscious, especially if you’ve started gaining weight and your hips have started to expand. Your belly may be growing rounder, and your bridesmaid dress should have ample space around the area so it’s not restrictive in any way. For this reason, empire waists with loose, flowing skirts are ideal. Honestly, don’t empire waistlines seem like they were created for this purpose alone? They are fashionable and yet incredibly comfortable. Choose lighter fabrics like chiffon and sexy satin.
Layers
Rising body temperatures may also be a common effect of pregnancy. To accommodate temperature fluctuations, add a wrap or jacket to your outfit so that you can take it off when you’re hot and put it on when you’re not. You’ll find this is especially important right now, as we move into the cooler days of fall.
Longer Lengths
You may prefer to wear a longer skirt length to hide swollen ankles and varicose veins, both common side effects of pregnancy. It can also be difficult to find comfortable shoes that you won’t mind standing in all day, and that look great-and we all know that flat and loose fitting comfortable shoes are usually not as nice as we’d like. If you don’t want to show them off, a longer skirt can hide that.
Of course, you can disregard this point if you’ve still got fabulous legs.
Most importantly, try putting off your fitting until the end, just a few days before the wedding date. It’s surprising how fast pregnant women can grow in just a matter of days, and you don’t want your bridesmaid dress to fit you too snugly.
