The other day, I was talking to a friend about silhouettes and fashion, and what clothes best showed off your “silhouette”.

I laughed because my silhouette was slightly distorted, due to being pregnant.

We agreed that the most obvious piece of clothing was the figure hugging, strapless dress. And it set me looking online for some dresses. These are from Bebe.

That evening I was going to a party, and I thought I’d wear my own little black dress – and show off my bump!

My dress is possibly 10 years old. Spandex and polyester. I think I paid $100 for it at some local boutique, the name of which I have long since forgotten.

Great for layering. Great for dressing up with accessories – hats, feathers, scarves, silk wraps. One of my favourite wardrobe basics!
