Maternity

So you've gotten the news. For the next 40 weeks your body will be performing the greatest feat the female body can. The beauty of what is transforming in your womb should be expressed in the beauty of the clothes you swathe your beautiful baby bump in.

Maternity Wrap Dress

No longer are pregnant women subjected to dressing themselves in horrifying, oversized polka dotted maternity garb that makes them look like a walking tent.

Buy well fitting pieces

Your baby bump is something to be proud of. Dressing your body in ill-fitting, oversized clothing will only visually add more pounds to your already growing frame. Look for maternity pieces with adjustable ties or ruching that will fit to your unique frame. I am not a fan of dresses that tie in the back - it reminds me of church dresses for little girls.

Rayon Maternity Maxi Dress

With tops and dresses designed to tie in the back, make them ten times more chic by tying them at the front. It creates an empire waist silhouette that is most flattering on all body types, especially a pregnant one. A wrap dress is a perfect option for your pregnant body as well.

There are great maternity designer jeans you can purchase that are very stylish and suited to your pregnant frame. However these can cause hundreds of dollars. As an alternative for a fraction of the price you can have your tailor put an expandable side inseam in your favorite pair of jeans. This will enable your jeans to grow with you as your baby bump gets bigger. After you’re back to your pre-pregnancy weight, you can have your tailor remove the adjustable inseam and voila, your favorite jeans are back to their original form.

Buy maternity clothes as you need them

It is a drastic mistake to purchase all of your maternity wear at one time. Even worse is to opt to go your entire pregnancy without buying any maternity clothing. Typically, expectant mothers can wear "non-maternity" pieces such as maxi dresses, and empire waist tops  well into their second trimester. However it's a good idea to strategically purchase specifically designed maternity staples such as pants, jeans and tops as these will go a long way in helping you to dress your pregnancy curves in a flattering manner. There is no way to tell exactly how your body will change during your nine months of pregnancy. Look for pieces that will grow with you.

Purchase a maternity bra

Even in our regular state most women are wearing the wrong bra size which affects everything from the way you look in your clothing to your posture and your overall comfort level. During pregnancy your bust size can increase up to one cup size in addition to increased weight in your back which can also affect your bra size. Once your pre-pregnancy bra starts to feel tight it's time to get fitted for a new one.

Pregnancy is a beautiful time in your life. With all the great maternity wear options available you   can look chic and fashionable baby bump and all!
