Friday Fantasy Fashion item: Charlotte smart maternity dress from Madderson London

We've gone full circle today with our maternity fashion advice, but it's Friday, and it's also a woman's perogative to change her mind, right?

Today's  Friday fantasy fashion item flies in from luxury maternity brand Madderson London.

Set up by Sara who missed the range and glamour of her pre-pregnancy clothes when she was expecting, the maternity range focuses on gorge dresses and tops for smarter occasions such as parties and office meetings.

The Charlotte dress, £275, is just one example of the brand's fab frocks and channels this seasons sixties trend perfectly.

We think it'll also look great teamed with flats for a more casual style.

Smart maternity dresses for summer weddings and parties

The wedding and party season is in full swing and no doubt you will have been invited to an event or two.

If you're in the middle or later stages of your pregnancy then you'll know that picking that smart maternity dress for your friend's wedding or summer party isn't as easy as stepping into a store and picking the first dress that takes your fancy.

Instead you have to consider how big your bump will be and if the frock you pick will be suitable for other events, because lets face it we all like a bit of recycling in our lives. 

Opting for a maxi dress is a great way to channel the smart look, while a floral number is great for mums-to-be who want to show off their fashion sense.

A chiffon number will keep you and your bump cool, while opting for a non-maternity frock with an empire waist and abundance of fabric will also let your bump grow.

Opt for the next size up and take it in after the baby arrives.

Below are some of our favourites from the virtual highstreet.

Friday fantasy fashion item: Silk printed tunic from Seraphine Maternity

It's finally Friday again, which for us means two things.

Firstly that lie in is in sight and secondly it's time for our Friday fantasy maternity fashion item.

Today on our sneaky surfing mission we came across this gorgeous silk printed tunic from Seraphine Maternity, which is great for mums-to-be looking for a smarter look.

Teaming this top up with a pair of black skinny maternity jeans and heels makes it perfect for a party, day at the races or wedding reception, while pairing with white or blue denim will give you a bohemian feel that works for that causal day in the office or lunch with friends.

We think this lovely piece is well worth the £99 price tag.
