Quick Style Tips from David & Jane
Stick to Soft, Neutral Tones
Creams, blushes, sage greens, and soft blues photograph best. Avoid busy patterns or logos.
Flowy Fabrics Are Your Friend
Chiffon, silk, and jersey all move beautifully and are forgiving on camera. Avoid stiff fabrics.
Size Up If in Doubt
Comfort matters — a slightly larger size that drapes well will always look better than something too tight.
Simple Jewelry Only
A delicate necklace or stud earrings are perfect. Heavy jewelry can distract from the bump and your face.
