Some obstacles, however, like finding jeans that fit, require a visit to the traditional maternity section. The good news — if you have the money to spend — is that brands including Paige Premium Denim and True Religion are in on the maternity denim game. A pair of J. Brand maternity twill cargo skinny jeans will set you back $250, but there are more affordable options that are every bit as stylish.
I've been avoiding it my whole pregnancy, I just hate how lose it is, and I hate how jeans are made. I just hate them. And we'll now that I need a dress for my baby shower I can't find any because they're all ugly. And I wanted to get one custom made, but $300 for a dress, please!!! That's like almost a whole new crib! Its getting me so frustrated and I want to order off etsy but I'm scared to order online. I've had bad experiences.
I had such a battle finding maternity clothing in 1979 and 1981, that my exceptionally talented seanstress of a mother-in-law adapted several plus sized top and pants patterns to accommodate my rapidly expanding tummy (1st baby was 8 pounds 20″, and 2nd baby a whopping 10 pounds and 22 1/2″!) and produced 99% of my maternity wardrobe for me - without being asked! She made me at least a half-dozen pretty print smock-style tops, with different trims, buttons and collar/yoke designs, and solid slacks to mix-and-match/coordinate with them, all with that lovely stretchy panel in the front. I had no need or desire for skirts or dresses, and I basically live in pants.
Pregnant ladies with bridesmaid duties looming this spring or summer could do a lot worse than to subtly point their bridal friends in the direction of Séraphine, favoured maternity label of assorted celebrity mums-to-be. This pretty silk frock would work equally well for wedding guests, or anyone who happens to be taking their bump to Ascot. Also available in navy blue.
While the 1950s continued to produce both the wrap around and shirtwaist dress for maternity clothing, the two piece separates were the big new fashion item. It was finally acceptable for women to not have a waist line in the 1950's. It was also more accepted to be out in public during the second and third trimesters. To fit the new social acceptance women's clothing adapted to a looser style.
Start with maternity clothing for work; maternity dress pants paired with a chic maternity blouse or dressy tee are ideal for the office. If you stick to basic, go-with-everything colors like black, blue and brown on the bottom, you can easily mix and match your tops to build outfits effortlessly. Add in a maternity dress or two and you have a look that goes from desk to date with ease.
