New Year’s Eve! Maybe you love a big night out or a cosy night in on the couch. No matter your plans, you want to ring in the New Year bells in style.
Finding the perfect outfit to see in the new year can be challenging at any time, but add to that a bump, and it can feel near impossible.
Plus, you probably don’t have many occasions to wear a fancy out-out dress and don’t want to shell out for something that will be worn once or twice.
So, what’s the solution?
In this blog, we’re sharing some of our favourite maternity New Year’s Eve dresses, no matter what you’re doing (and tell you how to get your hands on them at a fraction of the cost).
The best New Year’s Eve dress for a night in
A night in on the couch with your partner or friends doesn’t have to mean sweatpants and a jumper (unless you want it to).

So why not rent?
You can wear a beautiful piece of clothing on NYE, that aligns with your personal style and makes you feel fabulous without breaking the bank. And, you can rest easy knowing that you aren’t contributing to polluting fast fashion.
You can choose from 100s of dresses available to rent from For the Creators, from as little as £5.
