LĪGAVĀM is looking for an answer to the question, what are the current trends

How to find and choose the right wedding dress for a pregnant bride.

The choice of a dress is also determined by its price

Store 9 MONTHS owner Karina Spridzāne is convinced that regardless of whether the bride is or not pregnant woman, she should choose a dress that she likes and feels comfortable in. "Of course, for pregnant brides comfort and convenience is a particularly important prerequisite.

She should choose a dress that does not constrict and in which she feels free, as well as a dress that highlights and enhances women who is waiting for beauty.

There are mothers-to-be who want a long wedding dress in different color variations, but in percentage a large number of expectant brides choose long, short dresses in soft tones, such as champagne, cream, light blue or pink. The choice of dress is also determined by the wedding concept - if correspondence and a little wedding day , then expectant brides will choose much more often a short dress instead of a long one.

However, also very often expecting a mother wants a simple, long dress that matches within reasonable budget limits .

The most sold in our store are dresses worth up to 350 euros. I have noticed that the price of dresses for brides - is important for pregnant women, especially because the family is expecting a baby soon, which will require additional expenses. Often, brides also choose easily transformable dresses , which after the wedding sew over and apply, for example, to a baby's baptism ,” shares Karina's experience.

Tight or loose dress?

Wedding photographer Linda Lauva has photographed more than one pregnant bride and share their observations.

"In my opinion, in the very first months, while the pregnant belly is not yet visible, it is worth hiding it, but if the bride already there is an obvious belly, then I suggest you better wear a tight dress and be proud of your pregnant butt, because it looks cool," assured Linda.

Karina also points out that every mother-to-be has her own preferences and sense of taste. “There are brides who want everything as tight as possible and highlight your new body contours, but there are moms who want a bit more with a dress "hide" the pussy. Of course, a wedding dress so tight that it looks too small and causes discomfort a woman and a child in the womb should not choose. Admittedly, our experience shows that American customers, Germany, Great Britain and Canada clearly buy tighter wedding dresses than women in Latvia. Latvian expectant mothers, however, prefer to hide their pussy or leave it a neutral role," observed Karina.

When is the right time to buy a dress?

"We have customers who have been coming every week for six months to get acquainted with the news of wedding dresses and are ready buy a dress half a year or five months before the wedding.

However, we inform you that in the seventh or ninth month of pregnancy, the belly can become bigger and the chosen dress the model may no longer work.

Therefore, we recommend that you start looking and buying the dress a month before the wedding, but if even then there is a fear that the stomach will grow, then it remains to choose the right dress model that will "grow with the butt", advises Karina.

The main prerequisites for choosing a wedding dress if the bride is pregnant:

• If the bride has leg cramps during pregnancy, it may be necessary to choose a long dress so that the visual image is more pleasant for herself, looking back on the wedding day after 10 years;

  

• Dress thickness / layers and material - if the wedding takes place in the summer and the pregnant woman experiences increased sweating, the bulkiness, thickness and material of the dress must be thought through. A short knee-length dress is probably more comfortable in such cases;

  

• Before buying a dress, the bride should think whether she will wear shoes with a small heel or boat shoes, which also will help you understand the length of the dress;

  

• During pregnancy, a woman's chest swells, so you should choose dresses with straps or dresses with special care. where it is not intended to wear underwear, so that the bride does not have to experience unpleasant surprises during the celebration;

  

• If the pregnant woman has back problems or the leading gynecologist/midwife has prescribed medical abdominal belts use with heavy loads and walking, then you need to choose a dress model that allows this belt to wear
