It can be difficult to dress a growing bump because, let's face it, the belly isn't the only thing that's stretching and growing while you're pregnant (whose boobs are these?!). If you're finding this to be the case and have an upscale event you need to attend, don't even think about declining the invite. We pulled out our favorite black tie maternity dresses that will definitely help you shine and be comfortable at the same time.
