Angela Simmons High-Low Shift Dress – Maternity Style

Angela Simmons has truly embraced becoming a new mom.  Her maternity style is cute, flattering, and playful.

FullSizeRender-137

This is an example of embracing your curves and change of womanhood.  Here, she’s seen wearing a high-low (babydoll) shift dress.  The cut and ruffle hem of the dress takes away from her growing abdomen, showcasing her legs.

To duplicate this maternity style, I would suggest purchasing a shift dress one size larger and altering according to your figure.  For added height wear comfortable heels and don’t forget to pack your ballerina flats in your handbag!
