Remember when all the maternity clothes looked like clown suits? They had polka-dots, and big ridiculous buttons. Fortunately for the women of today, looking gorgeous for all nine months is much easier.
First of all, maternity clothes don’t have to be shapeless and drab, nor do they need to be gaudy and loud. You should be able to extend your own personal preferences and styles into the months of your pregnancy. Maternity clothes should look AND feel great!
If you are outgrowing your bell-bottoms, chic jeans are available from Gap at QueenBee.com.au and other retailers. Even before you need maternity jeans, you can find cute extenders to cover your unbuttoned waistband and let you wear your favorite denims a month or two longer!
Tops from Japanese Weekend can be found at BloomMaternity.net and elsewhere. These floral designs are perfect for those hot summer months! Also try wearing stretchy long-sleeved layered Tees in winter, or a long soft sweater with a cowl neck.
Loose flowing dresses that have tucks or shirring in the top allow room for your tummy to grow. Match them up with leggings for cool fall days and you’re ready for a walk thru the neighborhood! Again, the Aussies have it at MaternityWear.com.au.
Are you on a shoestring budget? Shop local thrift and resale stores for brand names without the price tag, or try CravingStyle.com for consignment steals that will make you look like you just stepped off a runway. For casual times, MotherWear.com carries everything from loungewear to swimwear, again at unbeatable prices. They also have a full line of bras for all your needs.
Check out these options, or sew your own dresses if you are feeling creative! With so many pretty clothes to choose from, you can look and feel like a million bucks - without breaking your budget! Remember, pregnancy is a beautiful time in your life, and you should feel beautiful to match!
Wow, there were so many good ideas here! When I was expecting my first baby, I just hated all of my clothes. I felt big and fat and it seemed like the only clothes that fit me looked so silly! This time around I’m definitely going to look better. Thanks!
Very nice!!
nice work, guy
