Don't talk to her when she can smell the jasmine in the air...
When she's burning in the bedroom in an evening gown
-Don't Talk to Her at Night, Marc Cohn
Recently, E&E over at Elegant and Easy Life asked whether readers still wear an evening gown. I dare say, I am prevented from wearing anything I love once again this year, only one of the many unfortunate circumstances associated with being very pregnant. I miss the clothes most of all: They were both my career and my passion. The moment the ability to wear beautiful things slips away and I am relegated to tent-like trapeze things, I remind myself several times an hour that the child on the way will be so worth all the agonies great and small.
If I could, I would...

However pregnant you may be, an Empire-waist gown always looks fabulous. That, a deep neckline, and a huge Indian-style or Moroccan necklace. You will be the belle.
Pregnancy passes. I promise. If I don't own an Oscar de la Renta gown before I die, I will go with deep regret.
