by Olivia Youngs

It's Christmastime and that means holiday parties galore. When you're pregnant though, getting dressed up and looking "party-ready" can feel like a daunting task. It can take effort to work up the courage to put on normal pants, let alone a fancy dress.

Don't worry, because there are plenty of holiday maternity dresses that will make your season for several reasons. First, they're all made to fit your pregnant body. There's nothing worse than forcing yourself into an old dress that doesn't fit right anymore or buying a maternity dress only to realize that it is unflattering. These dresses will accentuate your figure in all the right ways, helping you to rock that baby bump.

Furthermore, there's a dress for every budget in this round up. Maybe you're looking to splurge, because it's not every Christmas that you get to be pregnant. Or perhaps you need to penny pinch a little bit to put money towards your little one's future. Either way, there's a dress to fit your budget and your style.

So whether you're off to an office party, a family get together or a fancy gala, treat yourself to a new dress this year and leave those legging at home- just for one night.
