MUMS-TO-BE, don't let the bulging belly stop you from being a fashionista.

But when you shop, and have to choose styles and materials, keep in mind your changing shape, higher body temperature and sensitive skin.

This Signature Halter will show off your glowing complexion to perfection.

The New Paper hit Delfi Orchard, West Mall and Parkway Parade, and found an array of practical yet stylish offers for this Great Singapore Sale season.

Mothers En Vogue at Delfi Orchard is offering the elegant and versatile Dana dress at $69.90 (usual price $89.90).

It is made with plant-based natural fibres to allow the skin to breathe and reduce the risk of skin irritation.

Then there is the Signature Halter, with an innovative diamond-shaped ruching detail at the tip of the sensuous plunging V-neck to allow for a growing baby bump.

This trendy, empire-cut halter with adjustable shoulder straps is being offered at $53.90, after a 10 per cent discount.

Also at Delfi Orchard, La Bloomingchic has a sexy tube top with a string halter at just $34.30, after a 30 per cent discount.

Other selected items can be found at up to half price.

FUNKY & SPUNKY

At Parkway Parade, The Maternity House is offering a free dress or blouse with every three purchases.

The versatile shop offers an array of functional styles. Designs include funky prints on cool and stretchable sports fabric. Check out the sleeveless, short dress with retro vertical black and white lines ($99.90) or the spunky white halter covered with bright pink rings ($89.90).

The young and hip mother can even continue wearing these trendy outfits after the birth of her child, thanks to the fitting elasticity of the sports fabric and removable maternity tie-back waist strings.

Working mums-to-be can head down to Tom and Stefanie at West Mall for their best seller - a white, long-sleeved collared top with a demure maternity tie-back, on sale at a 20 per cent discount, at $36.

This purple Dana dress on sale at $69.90 from Mothers En Vogue is a stylish option for pregnant women.	Beat the heat in this stylish, strappy halter top which will hug your growing belly
