Maternity style top tips
Maria wears Maternity Black Shirt Dress (£30) and Leopard ‘Alba Court Shoes (£75). Keep it simple! Maria says it best over on her blog: “The simplest way that I’ve been able to transition into pregnancy fashion is by way of dresses.” Follow her advice by investing in simple, chic transitional pieces that you can dress up or down but still be comfortable in. Shirt dresses are great for not only pregnancy, but afterwards when you’re breastfeeding. We love this one in particular.
Maternity style top tip: Don’t be afraid to dress up your bump! It’s important to still have the option to dress up and go out on the town when you’re pregnant. Check out Dorothy Perkin’s bold print maternity dresses here.

Maternity Style Top Tip: Elastic waistbands are everything. Don’t even look at a pair of jeans, trousers, shorts or skirts if they don’t have about 20% elastane in them – you need stretch! Which is why a good pair of maternity jeans ‘a la Emily’ will save the day more than once. Dorothy Perkins have a great selection.

Maternity Style Top Tip: Combos are key. We pretty much wanted every outfit that Emma wore while presenting Celebrity Big Brother! Her coat/dress combos were flawless and super-flattering too. Steal her style with 60s silhouettes and a pop of colour.
Maternity Style Top Tip: Never underestimate a little black dress. Looks like there was a red-carpet style memo as Rose and Anne both look gorgeous in their maternity occasion dresses. It’s proof that dressing for a special event as a mum-to-be is as simple as L.B.D.
