Choose a dress that has a cut that will flatter you. A good pick for a maternity dress is an empire waist. The waist sits right below the chest while the rest of the dress flows away from the body. The empire waist allows room in the waist for your tummy while still conforming to your beautiful pregnant shape.

Pick a color or print you feel comfortable in. If you are not afraid to wear color or bolder prints, by all means do it. Beautiful prints can add style to a dress and make you look like a radiant goddess. If you are less willing to attract attention to yourself, choose a basic black dress. Even when you are pregnant, a little black dress is still a great option.

Choose a comfortable yet stylish shoe to go with your outfit. Ballet flats are trendy, and you can find several dressy styles for your black tie event. Leave your high heels at home. Your feet are bound to swell, and that will only make you miserable.
