This Dress on My Body?

The Expectant Body

"Pregnancy has taught me not to be afraid to go up a size," says 36-year-old fashion consultant Karen Duffy. "You don't necessarily have to wear maternity." The proof is in this poufy brocade dress (Calvin Klein, $169): The raised waist makes room for a belly, a strapless bodice shows off fuller breasts, and the metallic fabric suggests a shiny package waiting to be unwrapped.

Earrings, Nine West. Ring, Duffy's own. Wedding band, Munnu, The Gem Palace. Shoes, Manolo Blahnik.
