Party season maternity wear for Christmas: Tiffany Rose Amelia dress

Party season dressing can be a daunting task for expectant mums, but one designer claims to have found the formula for the perfect festive maternity dress.

The ‘Amelia’ dress from Tiffany Rose has become a consistent bestseller thanks to its ultra-flattering fit, ‘deceptively’ comfortable stretch lace and strategically-placed sash.

The £169 frock is cut from ‘baby soft’ jersey lining and boasts feminine three-quarter-length sleeves, a midi skirt and stylish scalloped hem.

Its sheer lace neckline and sleeves mean it shows off just the right amount of skin without being revealing, and it comes in nine different colours.

FEMAIL challenged ten women in varying stages of pregnancy to try it out – so how did they get on?
