If you are in your 1st trimester or early 2nd trimester, finding that perfect holiday party dress to flatter your changing body can be as easy as knowing these simple tips.

Even though most women aren’t quite showing yet, you still may feel a bit bloated around the tummy. Look for dresses that minimize your mid-section while playing up other features — such as your new pregnancy cleavage!

A v-neck dress is the perfect cut to highlight your cleavage and your shoulders and arms. Forgo the figure-hugging dresses (who wants to try to hold their tummy in all night?) and instead look for empire-waist cuts with flowing fabrics that skim your new curves.

Don’t forget the accessories!Chunky gem necklaces, strappy heels and a cool clutch will all be the perfect accent for your big night. You might as well enjoy the high heels while you can still manage to walk in them!
