Finding the perfect outfit for a formal event is a challenge for any woman, but the frustration factor increases when you are pregnant. There is no need to avoid the fun or stress out. Just keep a few points in mind and you will look chic in your maternity formal wear.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine how fancy you need to dress to look chic in your maternity formal wear. Select a basic black, well fitting dress or separates for a cocktail party, but a gown is the best choice for a ball or gala.

  2. Step 2

    Consider wearing a black skirt or dressy pants coordinated with a sweater or blouse for a cocktail party. Choose from blouses or tunics of taffeta, silk or lace, and sweaters of cashmere with a touch of design, pearls or rhinestones.

  3. Step 3

    Dress up your cocktail outfit with sheer hosiery in pale colors or smoky black. Choose dazzling hosiery with seams, bows, rhinestones or dainty patterns.

  4. Step 4

    Find comfortable dressy heels that allow for swelling and are not too high. Add a matching evening bag.

  5. Step 5

    Draw attention away from your tummy with an elegant necklace and earrings. Select pearls or something that sparkles to look chic in your maternity formal wear.

  6. Step 6

    Emphasize your upper body with a little extra makeup to give your face color and enhance that glow in your eyes. Put your long hair up or wear a hairpiece, and add sparkling hair accessories or dainty flowers.

  7. Step 7

    Finish your formal wear with a jacket or wrap. Consider a pashmina, cashmere or silk wrap or add the elegance of fur.

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy or rent a maternity gown for a ball or gala. Varieties of gowns are available on the Internet.
