Tasha asks :

I'm not looking forward to the Christmas period and all the parties as I am 6 months pregnant and feeling fat and bloated.

Are there any dresses out there that will keep me looking stylish and not fat!?

There could not be a better time to be pregnant at the moment with many high street ranges bringing out maternity ranges.

If you're worried about looking fat, it might sound obvious but stick to black as it is very slimming but remember you're NOT fat, you're pregnant!

This maternity dress from Red Herring at Debenhams, £28, is perfect as it comes in an ultra flattering wrap around style and the floral print keeps it from being too boring.

I agree with Jess, Black is the best for creating a slim line effect, but if you want to show off your pregnancy, then why not opt for a colourful dress instead?

Jewel colours are big news this season and celebrities are loving their bright coloured party frocks, even the pregnant ones, so don't be shy about drawing attention to your gorgeous curves.

The most important thing is to get a dress which feels right and is comfortable on you. There's no point going for something too tight, no matter how pretty it looks. The high-street have some great maternity lines out there, so go and have a splurge!
