Last Maternity....I promise

So I just had to do two more maternity dresses that I absolutely love. Please forgive me for not styling a veil with them, because I just was on a veil mind block today. First up we have a lovely dress by Madison's Creations, and it is called Jocelyn.

Be advised that she has maternity skirt add-ons to some of her dresses, but I found that I only needed the regular skirt. This maybe because I am only half way into my pregnancy and my belly is not big enough for the maternity skirt. But I would hold off on buying the MC maternity skirt add on until you really need it. I believe that this is the perfect upper caste maternity dress, it is very well textured and the sleeves flow perfectly with the dress. I added a large piece of jewelry to the top to occupy the empty space between the neck and dress.



Next we have a lovely dress by Alluring sin. This is Dora Maternity in red, and it is what I would call an everyday dress. I would definitely recommend this dress for working women (scribes and physicians) as well as on the go moms, because of the maximum comfort this dress gives. I cannot stress enough Ladies the importance of good quality textures. In my book you either have excellent prim work and prim detailing or excellent textures that do the detailing for the dress. Alluring has definitely mastered the texturing details. On this dress I added a scarf by DeLa, to keep it on the casual everyday work side. This dress is subtle yet hard to miss. I would recommend this for late in your pregnancy when your belly can fill out the space.
***Notes on Maternity!***
For the first week or two when you have a small bump I would recommend Evies Closet empire waist dresses and just add modesty tops with the the ones that don't come with them. Also split up your dresses into beginning, middle and late part of your pregnancy so you have more variety at different times. Not everyone wants to buy a closest full of Gorean maternity as you will only wear it for a few weeks then probably never look at it again. Its not hard to convert other dresses into maternity so make a maternity folder and copy some existing dresses that you have modified into the folder. Have a happy pregnancy and remember women it is your birthright as free women to give birth take pride in it.
