Choosing the right underwear for formalwear

As your body changes its important you buy yourself new underwear to fit. And if you’re dressing for a special occasion it’s even more important to make sure you’re getting the support you need as well as the straps in the right places. You won’t want to squeeze yourself into those restrictive control pants you wore before you were pregnant, but there are still things you can do to maximize your shapely silhouette.

• If you haven’t done so already, get measured for a maternity bra and indulge yourself in something you can wear on your night out and beyond. You’ll feel sexier, more comfortable and those fabulous mum-to-be boobs will be totally supported.
• Don’t skimp on knickers – there’s a fabulous choice out there designed for a comfortable fit for your mum tum and bum. You could go all out and invest in Spanx Mama maternity tights for cradling your bump and smoothing those curves.
• Take your dress with you when you shop for underwear to ensure your new bra straps don’t show and you don’t end up with a dreaded VPL.
• If you can’t find what you’re looking for or you’re not sure what’s available ask for help. There are now maternity products on the market all the time and you’re local shop assistant is the best person to fill you in.
