Pregnancy Prom Dress

An average sized woman gains approximately 25 lbs during pregnancy, depending on their pre-pregnancy size. Women who wear sizes 18 - 22, tend to gain 15 - 25 lbs, which is why they need maternity clothes as soon as possible just like an average sized woman. Women who wear size 24 +, tend to gain anywhere between 5 - 15 lbs or sometimes no weight at all. Hence, they can do without special maternity clothes till the seventh month of their pregnancy, as their weight gain is barely noticeable. 

Comfort should be top priority while choosing maternity clothes. So, buy stretchable and loose clothes which will give you room to grow in the coming months. However, buying loose and comfortable clothes in no way means that you have to compromise on style. Buy comfortable clothes in a variety of colors and well suited patterns that make you look and feel sexy. Preferably buy natural fabrics like cotton or organic, or knitted material, all of which are very gentle on the skin. Wear dark colors like black and blue as they make you look thinner. Wear dresses which have vertical lines or floral designs on them as they divert the attention from a flabby body.

If you are more than a size 24, buy dresses online, as the companies might not keep plus size maternity clothes, in your size, in their stores but they may be available in the companies' online sales catalog.
