Pregnancy is the phase of your life when you will stop worrying about your figure, the moment when you will not be sure how much weight you will add to your body or how you will carry your belly. But you do know one thing: your current clothes won’t last as long. So you want to buy new maternity dresses, but you are a bit confused. Let’s see how you can have a practical makeover in your wardrobe:

Choose as needed: 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 sensibly: 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 ruched just below, these tops fit petite to plus sizes without appearing 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 increased size. The visible part of the garments closely resembles their normal stylish garments.

Dresses: Skirts and dresses are very feminine and there is no reason for you to abandon 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 in the front look very elegant and fit very well. Go for some color; it gives an instant life to your look and makes you feel cheerful too. A single pretty dress can brighten up your wardrobe for those days when you’re in the mood for fun.

Underwear: This is a very important part of maternity clothes. You will have to buy bigger bras and panties. Buy larger sizes when needed.

Budget: It is very important to keep your budget in view. Maternity clothes will only be used for a few months, so there is no point in buying extremely expensive clothes. Choose the most important pieces that you will need on a daily basis first, such as underwear, underwear and tops. Then, if you have more money, you can enjoy some exclusive pieces.

After all, pregnancy is a time when the shackles of conventional dress break. Let your imagination fly. And enjoy this important period of your life with your glamorous foot forward.
