During your pregnancy, your body will change shape. The extent to which this happens varies between women and between each pregnancy, but there’s no reason why you should spend nine months in sweat pants and one of your partner’s old t shirts. Maternity clothes are becoming more stylish all the time, so you don’t have sacrifice looking good for being comfortable with your baby bump.
A Line and Empire Waist
A-line and empire waist shirts and dresses should be part of every maternity wardrobe. They flatter the bust and allow your bump the room it needs to expand comfortably. The elasticated band under your chest will give your breasts support while the flowing material beneath it will easily cover even the largest baby bump.
Baby Bands
Baby bands are large, elasticated pieces of fabric that can be worn over the top of unzipped jeans and skirts, to hold them up and support your baby bump. They are an inexpensive and convenient option that will allow you to wear your old clothes for most of your pregnancy. You will, of course, need to splash out on at least one pair of maternity trousers, and you can now buy elasticated-waist jeans from a variety of designer brands.
Occasion Wear
There’s no reason why you shouldn’t go to the ball while you’re pregnant (as long as the champagne is off-limits) and there are some wonderful options for maternity occasion wear on the market. Bibee Dresses have a range of versatile garments that can be worn as daywear and then transformed into something a little more special.
Pregnancy Bras
Your breasts will grow during pregnancy, and they can feel swollen and tender. It’s important to invest in some comfortable bras to support your newly enlarged bust. Some women experience discomfort at night, so it may be worth looking into a bra that offers light support while you’re sleeping.
Wrap Dresses
The wrap dress is a flattering staple for all stages of your pregnancy, and looks fabulous on a range of different body types. You can tie these dresses as loosely or as tightly as you wish, and they will flatter your curves regardless of how your pregnancy weight is distributed. It may be worth investing in a few wrap dresses in a variety of colours and patterns, so that you always have a go-to outfit when leaving the house.
