I was very self-conscious about my arms at that point so I knew I didn't want to do anything sleeveless. My photographer got some amazing silhouette shots with the maxi dress. </p> [attach=2323/12/maofko.400x267.maternity1.jpg] [attach=2323/12/maofkp.267x400.maternity2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-303816 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:21:21 +0000 kml636 303816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore 2 maxi dresses (changed halfway through) and a shorter skirt/ bikini top for belly shots. I honestly think the maxi dress made me look a lot bigger though, so I think a cute form fitting dress/top is the way to go! </p> [attach=1950/12/maoefn.600x400.Kelly-40.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302999 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 16:11:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 302999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: no I had it done :) I'm so glad I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302993 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 16:05:10 +0000 birdofafeather 302993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @TheFixIts: @krsmall: loves the photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302726 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:54:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 302726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coco bee - you look beautiful! i especially love the first and last picture. did you do your own hair? it looks great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302722 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:52:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 302722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: that's always been my favorite too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302637 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:15:06 +0000 Turd Ferguson 302637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Just wanted to say that I LOVE the last picture--it's ridiculously fabulous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302524 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:22:50 +0000 shopaholic 302524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cocobee - Gorgeous pictures!

One was navy and white stripes and the second was white maxi dress. Both are non maternity. </p> [attach=2163/12/manr3r.600x400.maternity1.jpg] [attach=2163/12/manr3t.600x400.maternity-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302443 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 11:39:09 +0000 TheFixIts 302443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to wear a dress, but hubs said I looked more obviously "cute bump" in pants and a top. The outfit was the look of what I've basically worn throughout the pregnancy. May as well keep it consistent! </p> [attach=189/12/manq99.600x375.308144_10100308866101675_1209087196_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302382 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:56:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 302382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I think it does depend on the build of the person. I am not a "skinny" or thin person by any means, but I'm not overweight - however stripes look REALLY good on me. I go out of my way to purchase stripes. I love them. Just not the really small pinstripe-sized stripes... those never look good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302376 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:54:02 +0000 DillonLion 302376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I actually have a striped sweater really similar to the one you posted, but I'm so conditioned that big horizontal stripes are a big "no-no" since they can make the subject look wide/larger, but that doesn't seem to be the case with you at all! So maybe I will give that sweater another peek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302370 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:51:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 302370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I wore a sweater w/ jeans for the shots outside, and then I wore a bandeau bra w/ a maxi skirt for the indoor ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302368 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:50:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 302368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: this is a similar dress: <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=933050547&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC46" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=933050547&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC46</a></p> <p>Oh, and nearly all my outfits were from motherhood! the only things there weren't were my jeans (pre-pg) and my white pants (also pre-pg, left unbuttoned!)</p> <p>ETA: I think stripes REALLY helped accentuate the bump. Even in head-on shots you can see how the stripes curve to form a bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302366 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:48:13 +0000 DillonLion 302366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Beautiful!! Lots of great ideas, thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302362 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:46:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 302362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a beautiful striped dress, knee-length that was ruched all the way down the sides so it really accentuated the bump - I loved it! I found it at Motherhood. </p> <p>In other photos I wore white pants and a stripped, glittery sweater and the third outfit was skinny jeans with boots (I left the skinnies unbuttoned lol), and my dress-turned-into-shirt.</p> <p>I loved my outfits. I think the ruched dress was my favorite for sure. </p> [attach=1597/12/mannt2.418x600.419635_10150555226504690_299638591_n.jpg] [attach=1597/12/mannt3.600x448.327640_10150552124578674_1137985634_o.jpg] [attach=1597/12/mannt5.378x379.404380_10150538973474690_1283938815_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-during-your-maternity-shoot#post-302348 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:35:57 +0000 DillonLion 302348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My photo shoot is going to be taking place outside, in a few weeks. I live in Texas, so it probably won't be that cold. I don't know what to wear! </p> <p>What did you wear? Did you like how the pictures came out? Would you wear something different if you were to do it again? I'm having trouble figuring out how to accentuate the shape but not feel self conscious at the same time. </p>
