Sometimes it’s hard to feel confident about yourself when you’ve gained 20 pounds, have a growing belly and live in oversized clothes. I didn’t think I would be as glam as pregnant celebs like Chrissy Teigen, but I didn’t think I’d become a total hobo who wore the same thing everyday. No joke, folks. But, I didn’t want my circumstance to dictate how I felt was so when Eshakti reached out to me, I decided to embrace the now and style my new pregnant body with confidence.
This Dupioni shirt dress is easy to style and is perfect for every body type. The tea length adds an air of classiness and the color and print is just the right amount of subtle. I chose to add the sash even with my belly to add anything that resembled a silhouette. Even though I bought this dress a few sizes bigger than what I normally wear, I plan wearing it after my pregnancy.
Don’t let your circumstance determine the way you feel. If you don’t like something, change it. A lot of times it’s just a simple attitude change. Even though my body was changing in an uncomfortable, yet beautiful way to accommodate my baby, I decided to embrace the process of pregnancy and not be so self conscious about exterior, superficial things. So you can be expecting more big belly photos from me!
Dress: Eshakti
Beautiful choice of dress! and you look absolutely stunning being pregnant! Congratulations on this amazing next chapter in your life. I’m excited to see the baby here on the blog.

You look amazing and this shirt dress perfectly accentuates your growing baby. What a chic way to style your bump and I love the belt to really show off your belly. While gaining a stomach is not the most flattering part of being pregnant, I actually liked wearing tighter dresses or tees to show off my bump rather than oversized and bulky pieces that would just make me look huge. This dress is a fabulous way to show off your bump and still look classy. xoxo, Christine
