Simple pieces in solid, neutral colors work best and avoid anything low cut. If you've gained weight that you're uncomfortable about then try to cover any trouble spots (for instance don't wear a tank top if you think your arms are a little chunky). I recommend avoiding all white too since it doesn't work well in all lighting situations (especially with flash). You want the focus to be on the baby so avoid chunky jewelry or heavy makeup.

ETA: Try to watch for distracting backgrounds too. I've seen people use a solid colored blanket to cover the bed and pillows or ugly chairs.
