Dress for Maternity Pics

sparklingdiamond · February 2014

Because I am bored and don't feel like working today! :-p I want a dress like this:

But I can't find anything like this. This is similar, so what do you ladies think of this one?

Is jersey typically flattering or unflattering?

I like the first one the best but I do like them both. I'm not sure about jersey.....let me know what you find though, I'm curious to see what others will be wearing for their photo shoots.

They're both cute in theory. But I gotta tell you, I would steer very far away from anything strapless while pregnant. I don't know what your chest is like, but there's no way mine would hold up a dress like that.

I do like how loose fitting and flowy the first one looks, second one seems like it's a bit more clingy? They're both very pretty though, I think either would look great in photos. I think maybe it could come down to the setting of your photos?

As for fabric, I'm not really sure. I think any 'flattering' look could be a combination of fabric and cut, not just one or the other.

Looks like a typical maxi dress to me. I lived in my black one in Florida and plan to do the same next week when we go back. Mines from forever 21. I think I found it for 12 bucks.

I like the first one, but can't find it anywhere unfortunately :-(

And I don't have to worry about holding up a strapless dress. My boobs aren't that big and have decided they don't want to grow any lol. :-p

Hate to be the one to tell you this but jersey is unflattering. It shows every panty line & cellulite dimple. Maybe you are a special snowflake who doesn't have cellulite & doesn't need to wear panties? If so, I stand corrected.

ETA: Now if you can get that dress in black, you're probably fine.

This. Both are beautiful. Let us know what you decide!

Yea that is what I was afraid of! I wish I was that special snowflake, but alas I am definitely not!
