Pregnancy is the phase of your life when you stop worrying about your figure, the moment when you are not sure how much weight you will add to your body or how you will carry your tummy. But you do know one thing: your current clothes won’t last as long. So you want to buy new maternity dresses, but you’re a little confused. Let’s see how you can have a practical makeover in your wardrobe:
Choose according to need: Don’t buy all your maternity clothes at once, no matter how lucrative they look on the shelves. Buy a few pieces at a time and pay special attention to fit and comfort. Give them a try and make sure they have room to grow so you can continue using them for a few months.
Shop wisely: Choose soft fabrics that are nice and comfortable to wear. Stretch fabrics are good because they can withstand fluctuations in shape. Ruffles, bows, and gathers work great on blouses and tunics. Fitted at the bust and gathered just below, these tops fit petite to plus sizes without looking bulky. Combine them with a good pair of pants, leggings or jeans, and you will look elegant and confident. All maternity bottoms come with elasticated sides, stretchy materials, tummy panels often made of fabric, and stretchy material to accommodate the increase in size. The visible part of the clothes closely resembles their normal style clothes.
Dresses: Skirts and dresses are very feminine and there is no reason for you to ditch them. Empire line or A-line dresses work well. Don’t buy them too short or you risk looking bulky. Light, summery fabrics that drape easily are better than heavy fabrics. Again, emphasize your bust, neck, and shoulders and keep the rest flowing. Cowl neck dresses, wrap dresses, and dresses with ruffles at the front look very elegant and work great. Go for some color; it gives an instant life to your look and makes you feel joyful too. Just one pretty dress can brighten up your wardrobe for those days when you’re in the mood to have fun.
Underwear: This is a very important part of maternity clothing. You will have to buy bigger bras and panties. Buy larger sizes when necessary.
Budget: It is very important to keep your budget in sight. Maternity clothes will only be worn for a few months, so there is no point in buying extremely expensive clothes. Choose first the most important pieces that you will need on a daily basis, such as underwear, underwear and tops. Then, if you have more money, you can treat yourself to some exclusive pieces.
After all, pregnancy is a time when the shackles of conventional clothing are broken. Let your imagination fly. And enjoy this important period of your life with your glamorous foot forward.
