During your pregnancy, you will most likely purchase a few maternity dresses for special occasions, like baby showers and weddings. But, you may hesitate to purchase maternity dresses too early or late into your pregnancy, due to the expense & not knowing how long the maternity dress will fit!

Some helpful tips to consider, when purchasing a maternity dress include:

1. Is it designed to be worn during my entire pregnancy and beyond?

2. Does it have nursing access, if I plan to breastfeed my baby?

3. Is it a neutral color, like black or brown, that is suitable for all seasons?

4. Is it a simple style that can be worn for both dressy and casual occasions?

Style Tip: Accessorize with jewelry, scarfs, and comfortable heels, for special events.
