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.
No longer are pregnant women subjected to dressing themselves in horrifying, oversized polka dotted maternity garb that makes them look like a walking tent. With all the great maternity fashion options, you can look as chic and fabulous during pregnancy as you do with your normal physique. Read on for the best pregnancy fashion tips and advice.
Once you’ve passed the phase where you feel sluggish and uncomfortable and your baby bump is officially showing, flaunt it! There are certain pieces that you will need to purchase for your curvaceous pregnant figure.
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.
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!
