Pregnant This Christmas Season? Here are 19 Bump-Friendly Holiday Dresses to Rock the Night Away
For mamas-to-be, it’s not just the firelight making you glow this holiday season! Whether you’re invited to a glamorous night with friends, a cozy party at home with your whole family, or a chic workplace party, you and your beautiful baby bump are going to look great.
Finding a Lulus maternity holiday dress doesn’t have to be stressful. With our guide and a few simple tips for styling pregnancy outfits for Christmas, you’ll look radiant, no matter what.
Tips For Maternity Dresses
The first thing you need to remember is not to stress, and don’t try to hide your bump. That’s your beautiful baby in there, and you should be proud of your body!
You should also prioritize comfort. This might mean flats instead of heels–or at least having flats to change into if you really want to wear your heels. Your feet may swell unexpectedly, so have some comfortable footwear on hand.
Also, remember that your hormones can change the way you perceive temperature, so you might want to have a sweater, shawl, or wrap that you can put on or take off as the evening continues.
Choose a baby bump-friendly dress that’s flowy or stretchy– something non-constricting so that you can move around easily and feel comfortable. Some mamas actually really love bodycon dresses because the tighter material can provide some extra support for the bump!
With these ideas in mind, let’s look at some gorgeous holiday dresses that are beautiful and bump-friendly.
