My Top Tips on How To Pick The Perfect Maternity Photoshoot Dress For Your Maternity Photoshoot

Get ready to look and feel amazing during your maternity photoshoot with some of Everything Lace Hire most stunning eye-catching maternity photoshoot dresses. As a maternity photoshoot dress stylist, I know what works best and I'm sharing my expert tips for dressing for your photos. Don't settle for your normal wardrobe, elevate your style with this specially curated wardrobe of pieces.

Choose a Photoshoot Dress that Elevates and Flatters Your Silhouette 

I'm adding this advice first because it's the most important, so even if you stop reading after this tip, at least you know this much.
You want to wear a dress that will give you the most flattering silhouette for your maternity photos, the ones where you cant stop looking through them with tears of joy. So here is what to look for:

A maternity photoshoot dress or two-piece that starts to flow out just above your baby bump will add more movement and definition to your photos but you can also go for a more fitted piece to hug and accentuate your baby bump.

Choose a maternity photoshoot dress in a colour tone like white or ivory as these colours are neutral and don't date like colours and patters but also one you absolutely love. This is your chance to feel beautiful and radiant in front of the camera. Don't be afraid to go with something that you wouldn't always wear - your maternity photos are a chance to celebrate this special time not to rock up wearing something just grabbed from your wardrobe or worn everyday.

I always say to go for full length piece either touching the floor or has some length as this adds length and creates a more flowing, romantic and whimsical look.

I always recommend opting for two pieces during your maternity photoshoot tom capture two different looks. This allows you to capture a more closed look and a revealing of the bump look. 
I would personally go for one dress and either a robe that is worn open or a two piece set that gives you coverage up the top and down the bottom with bump being the main focus.

What Should I Wear Underneath?

When choosing the perfect maternity photoshoot dress, it's important to consider not just the style and fit of the dress itself, but also the undergarments that will be worn beneath it. Depending on the dress you select and your own comfort preferences, incorporating a slip or seamless undergarments can make a significant difference in the overall look and feel.

Wearing a slip can be a game-changer, providing a smooth, streamlined silhouette under fitted or form-hugging dresses. By targeting specific areas like the midsection, hips, or thighs, a slip can minimise the appearance of lumps and bumps, allowing your dress to drape beautifully. Just be sure to choose a style and size that provides the right level of control without feeling overly restrictive.

Alternatively, seamless underwear can be an excellent option, particularly for dresses with delicate fabrics or intricate details. By avoiding visible panty lines or seams, seamless undergarments help create a clean, uninterrupted look. This can be especially beneficial for dresses with fitted waistlines or A-line silhouettes.

When it comes to bras, it's crucial to select a style that will not only provide the necessary support but also ensure that the straps and cups remain discreetly hidden. Opt for bras with straps, or consider a strapless or backless style, depending on the neckline and back of your dress.

By thoughtfully considering your undergarment choices, you can enhance the overall fit and appearance of your dress, allowing you to feel confident and comfortable from the inside out.
One major factor is always, always wear nude or white undergarments these colours photograph the best and when looking at your pictures you are distracted by a colourful undergarment peering through your lightly coloured dress.
