Dressing a growing bump can present a challenge to even
the most stylish mamas-to-be. Thankfully, fashion designers
have wised up and there are so many more clothing options
now that help you make your pregnancy a style statement.
Maternity fashion is a booming industry, thanks to the droves
of women who continue working throughout their pregnancies.
We’ve come a long way from spending our nine months knitting
baby beanies in a dressing gown whilst waiting for our little one
to arrive. You may need to avoid skin tight pants and sky high
heels, but there are ways to still feel like a hottie at every price
point. And the good news is you don’t need to go out and only
buy maternity clothing, regular pieces from your closet can still
work as long as you know how to style and size them.
I had to face the ultimate bump fashion challenge during my
pregnancy, my own wedding. At five months, I proudly walked
down the aisle in an empire waisted number from Vera Wang
(and it should be noted this was not a maternity dress ) . With a
little help from a seamstress and some strategic accessories,
I was able to still live out my bridal vision in all its glory. I may
have been knocked up, but I still knocked it out of the park
style-wise. Whether you’ve got fancy cocktail parties to attend,
nights out with the ladies, or your own nuptials, you don’t have
to let your bump put any limitations on your style.
