Get this party started! How to Bump Up Your Holiday Party Style

The holidays are upon us, bring on the parties!  Most of our clients do not want to get one dress that they will wear once to one holiday party, or twice, to two. 

You want to sparkle and shine-hold the bubbly.

How to Glow and Go this holiday season.  Our faves:

Gold Lurex Lovely

This one-size-really-does-fit-most/super flattering/ textured style features gold sparkles throughout; is not maternity, but will flatter from 9 weeks to 9 months, and can work the parties for years to come. Ta da! 

Silk Silhouette

This timeless piece is fitted and flowing all at once.  Layer with statement bling or a simple solitaire and you are sure to sparkle and shine.  Again, a piece that looks good at any stage of pregnancy, and forever beyond the bump. Trying to keep the bump a secret? This has got you covered.

And after the season is over, throw a leather or denim jacket over it, some tights and boots and go, still shining.

Lovely in Lace

Sometimes a little lace dress is the classic option that just works.  Feminine elegant and dressed for holiday success.

Craving Color

If Christmas is your holiday then nothing says holiday like a red dress.  Pair it with a patent pump and insta-holiday style that can be worn again and again.  Valentine's Day is not that far away.  And, this dress has sneaky peeky nursing access too, so, yep,  weeks, 9 months, nursing.  Done.

Dress UP that LBD!

Take one LBD, add bump and accessories, we love, love, love this one pulled off the shoulder a little for a real dose of glam. Wow them at the party, then wear it to work with a blazer next week.

And, when we say LBD, the LD does not have to be B, it could be navy, or any other color that you fancy.

Maxi-mum Mama

This dress has been to pretty much every event ever, timeless and classic.  Many a mom has been unsure about wearing a jersey dress to a formal affair, and then come back to tell us that amidst all the 5 and 10K gowns they got all the compliments at the event.  It's all about that bump.  And accessories.  And shoes.  And hair. And make-up.  

Plus, this non-maternity piece is designed to be worn back to front or front to back, so, flip it to high in the front, add some fabulous jewels, maybe a long black glove, skip the cigarette and...truly, you can take this one anywhere. 

Don't think accessories matter?  Think again.  None of us wants to be that pregnant woman at the party who looks like she doesn't belong, like she's wearing what she wore to work last week.  Holiday parties are not a place most of us feel good using "pregnant privilege" (Save that for wearing black jeans to work as pants, no one will say a word.).  Taking care of mama this holiday season means finding yourself a good solid dress or two that make you feel fabulous and then standing up tall, belly out and blinging it on!
