I was pregnant in December for both of my pregnancies. My daughter was born on the 20th, just in time for Christmas. I remember struggling to find something that fit over my belly, but still looked sexy and cheerful for the season. With my daughter, I just got out of the hospital on Christmas eve so I did not do any dressing up that year. But last year, I was doing my daughter’s first birthday and covering my 4 month old tummy, though it looked at least 6 months. I settled on a shiny, silky leopard print blouse and a black stretchy skirt. Though the outfit looked alright and was comfortable, I wish had found something better. Here’s where the article comes in. I did some research into sexy holiday maternity dresses and hear are my personal top picks. I hope it provides you with some guidance that I did not have myself.

I love the lacey layers and pattern. Very sophisticated and sexy.

6. The 6waydress $138 @ Belly Button Boutique

This works out to $23 a dress. Not bad! Don’t you just love versatility? Plus, this looks like something you can wear for more than the holidays and even beyond birth.
