Thankfully, Seraphine covers its basis with good quality and well-tailored silhouettes. The company boasts a wide range of very stylish maternity cocktail dresses, but a particular model has caught the attention of the public. After Kate Middleton was captured wearing the elegant Marlene dress, the piece quickly sold out on Seraphine's website. The silhouette has a soft woven skirt, which delicately creates a flattering A-line cut, as well as a stretchy lace bodice with velvet accents. The added black velvet ribbon detailing on the pastel navy silhouette truly makes the Marlene stand out in the midst of the other stylish maternity cocktail dresses.
