Fashion Q&A.

Question: I'm having a Spring wedding in a few months and it is very summer-themed and I've found the perfect dresses (which are romantic and very classic) however the maid of honour is 6 months pregnant and I don't want to go too over the top however I still want that exotic essence to be around! I don't know what she should wear now! She's the maid of honour so it needs to be something classic but flattering. Please Help! (by Jacquie via. email)

Answer: I know what you are talking about. Pregnant Maids or Matrons of honour aren't the best things you want in a nice photo, yes of course you love them (as we all do) but it is your special day and the last thing you want is for people to be talking behind their hands about the gorgeous Maid of honour who is, yes, 6 months pregnant and showing. I personally would choose something babydoll style in gorgeous chiffon fabrics with a contrasting thin belted embellishment or even perhaps something which drapes really wonderfully around the whole body capturing the essence of a glowing mother-to-be. Something quite Grecian. I would stay away from prints and florals of all colours and sizes and instead make use of classic champagne and cream tones. Pastels would work nicely as well but a bold coloured dress would be just as effective. You also don't really want to go for styles which are specially suited to pregnant women. You want a style which would work effectively pregnant or not. High waisted and v-neck or round necks would look fabulous however I suppose this is when hair and makeup become more vital to achieving a certain 'look' according to your own personal theme. Anyway, I hope this helps and Congratulations on getting married.
