The Budget Bambino

Wanna get the red-carpet look without paying celebrity-caliber prices? Here are some fabulous maternity dresses that will turn heads at all of your winter parties, without turning your stomach over the cost.

~ We love Liz Lange for Target’s Taffeta Color-Block Dress ($49.99) The black/ivory combo is so Audrey Hepburn, yet the detailing on the waist is very modern. Made from high-quality fabric, it’s fabulous piece for any chic affair, from a dinner party to a night out on the town.

~ Gap Maternity has a ($34.99) in a deep gray-lavender that is not only ethereally gorgeous, it reminds us of a funky-chic piece Jessica Alba might wear: Silk Shift Dress

~ This Tank Dress with Bow from Gap ($9.99) is another one of our fave finds. Its soft material and U-neckline is more low-key, but exceedingly svelte, and comes in crystal blue or tawny-gray. The no-frills frock reminds of Reese Witherspoon’s casual chicness. Pair with a sweater for a more casual affair.
