The beautiful selection of clothing will help you feel fabulous when your body is changing letting you feel comfortable without having to worry that you’re loosing your stylish ways.  Designs have been created to flatter your growing bump such as draping effects and belt detailing whilst keeping in-tone with current trends. A sweet silver and white zigzag stripe pattern on the Portobello Belle top is complimented by a bold pink shoulder strap which can be delicately tied into a bow for understated glamour.  It has also been tailored to create a streamline silhouette over your bump.  Subtle, almost muted pinks, are a great choice too as Sophie Devonshire explains: “Soft pink colours are great in maternity wear – flattering on a tired complexion.  As well as being great for summer weddings, they’re also great for helping give a good pregnancy ‘glow’ as they reflect softly onto your face.” If you’re attending a special event this summer such as a wedding, don’t fret about what you might wear.  Feel ultra glamorous in one of Babes with Babies’ occasion dresses like the Amandine silk party creation.  The bright watercolour print gives the piece a really distinctive look plus the fabric will skim over your bump for relaxed femininity.  The sash belt can be used to give the dress shape and definition too.
