The world's best dressed bump?

If you know me, you'll know I'm a big K-Mid fan. and yes I am one of those slightly irritating people who is really excited about the Royal baby!

Today, WWD published a list of fantasy maternity dresses that some of the world's top fashion designers have drawn for Kate. From Karl Lagerfeld to Chloe, there's a huge range of styles. I will reserve judgement for a moment, let's see what you think...

I've got to admit, I'm not too keen on a lot of them and whilst I adore Karl Lagerfeld and totally get the Victorian gothic feel he has for Kate, I don't think this dress quite hits the mark.

For me, Chloe have nailed it, I adore the colour and 40s inspired style. But what do you think? Let me know!

If I'm honest, I think Kate would prefer one of these beauties...

"Eliza" dress from Tiffany Rose - beautiful special occasion maternity wear.

Topshop Daisy Print Tea Dress

It can be really tough to stay feminine and fashionable when pregnant but there are some fantastic ranges developing on the high street. If you have any maternity clothing recommendations let us know in the comments below!

What a waist...

The gorgeous Kirsten Dunst was spotted out and about in LA this week in this cute navy 1940s vintage style shirt dress...

 

Perfect for spring and summer, the vintage shirt dress (or shirtwaister dress) is one of those essential wardrobe staples. Often referred to as a tea dress, this button front dress with a-line skirt is great for days out, dates, shopping, lunching, holidays and more. And in the chillier months, just add opaque tights and boots et voila!

My Vintage offer a vast selection of vintage shirt dresses from every decade and here are a few of my favourites...

Vintage 1980s Forest Green Faux Silk Day Dress Size 10

Vintage 1960s Apple Green Waffled Day Dress Size 10

The high street shops are brimming with short denim dungarees for summer. But why not buy a pair of vintage dungarees that will literally last you a lifetime?

Here is a typical pair of vintage denim dungarees from our current range at www.myvintage.co.uk
