*Strapless dressing is not for all body types — the top will be too much to handle on a large busted woman.  If your find yourself falling out (or feel a little too much jiggle) think again.
*Rouching and gathering will make this simple cut stunning by framing your bump just so. Keep an eye out for details that compliment your changing body.
*Solid, vibrant color is a good choice. Avoid too much going on (patterns on this body can be difficult to pull off) and opt to make a statement with a hue that brings out the luminescence of your skin.
*Pay careful attention to fabric choice – it dictates how you will wear a dress.
*Look for built in support or add your own. This is important for women of all sizes.
*Make it yours! With dresses in the casual range, carefully selected accessories will make a statement and change the look based on your mood.
