Elegant at work

The working mother-to-be must know how to adapt her professional wardrobe as her pregnancy advances. She can keep to the same style, just make it comfortable and elegant. Special brand names for clothes for mothers-to-be have collections just for working women. You will find straight cut low trousers or tubular trousers with elastic high-waist in extremely comfortable fabrics. There is also a wide choice in skirts: graceful and flowing pleated jersey skirts, midi skirts with adjustable belts or wrap-around skirts. They could be combined with a frilled blouse or a tunic with a Tunisian collar, a long men’s vest or a single-buttoned suit jacket. A short A-line coat with three-quarter sleeves, a super-trendy cape, a long vest encircled by a loose-knit belt or a poncho of alpaca wool could keep you warm and allow your stomach to expand freely. Watch out when your legs feel heavy! When choosing footwear, ensure that the heels of the pumps or boots are less than 5 cm high.

The belle of the party

Your social life does not stop because you are pregnant! No need to panic, nowadays there are beautiful evening dresses to make the feminine figure look sublime. All through the year, just use and make full use of dresses, long or short, balloon or Empire waist dresses, strapless dresses, etc. Try out tunics with belts (below the stomach) or shirt-fronts, in jersey or silk and feet shod with beautiful ballet pumps. For more fashionable parties, go for a rock and roll look with a long fancy tank top (embroidered with sequins or spangled), a masculine shirt and shiny leggings, etc.

Ready for sports

Physical activity is strongly advised during pregnancy even if you are not too much the sporty type. Walking, gentle gymnastics, pilates, yoga and aquarobics are proving to be very good options as preparation for childbirth. For this, you can get high-waist figure-hugging track suits, stretch leggings, low-waist shorts in stretch cotton, long skin-tight T-shirts in bamboo, long zip-up sweatshirts with hoods, etc. Swimming is highly recommended as it increases heart capacity without accompanying lumbar pain. Water-babies have a choice of one-piece swimsuits (not very practical), bikinis (bandeau or classic), low-waist shorts as well as two-piece swimsuits for pregnancy, these are highly recommended as they have a lycra tank-top with thin adjustable straps and in-built bra and a panty or shorts with a reinforcement around the stomach for better support. Do not forget that there are sports bras. The elastic fibres in the breast are fragile and need good support specially when there is a sudden movement. The same goes for sports footwear, you must choose a good quality pair. You must protect your back and joints by cushioning shocks.

Sophistication at home

Pregnancy and the arrival of the baby are propitious moments to be treasured. Don’t give in to the temptation of wearing faded T-shirts and old track suits! Nowadays “lounge wear” offers some wonderfully soft and loose choices. Natural cotton trousers, soft jeans, baggy trousers, fine cotton t-shirt dresses, shirts, flowing jersey wrap-over tops and even terry-cloth track suits that hug your body nicely. Leggings are another attractive option, you can wear them below the tummy, with a loose-fitting blouse or long sailor t-shirts and use them after the delivery. At home, relax your feet with ballerinas made of silk, beautiful mules, soft oriental slippers or flip-flops.

 

Tips for purchasing the right maternity wear

- From cotton to muslin: the material

The first thought that comes to mind when one thinks of maternity wear is the suppleness of the garment. Your wardrobe must change with the growing bulge of your cute tummy, which is what suppleness is all about. There is a wide range of “smart” fabrics that blend spandex with cotton, lycra with jersey, etc. But you must steer clear of 100% synthetic material as it is not conducive to perspiration. Hot flushes are common during pregnancy. Do not forget that the skin is even more sensitive at the time of pregnancy, so choose natural and light fabrics. Cotton, linen, silk veiling and muslins are perfect for the summer months. When it becomes cooler, choose woollen fabric, cashmere or jersey to keep you warm even as it hugs your figure perfectly.

- Loose-fitting or straight: all about cuts

The main criterion for choosing maternity wear is the way it adapts itself to your growing body. Go for Empire waist dresses with the cut under the bust and a loose-fitting fall, short A-line dresses, flowing tunics or pullover dresses as with this type of cut, your stomach can grow without your having to change the size of your clothes. Invest in a well-cut pair of jeans with soft lined elastic (take care that there is no rubbing and irritation) and in a low-waist straight black maternity trousers with a sliding belt.

- Hand or machine wash

Read the manufacturer’s instructions on the label carefully, otherwise you may end up with baby size clothes! Some clothes may require to be washed by hand or using a delicate wash programme in a machine. Take special care to check the washing powder used. Do not use allergenic products and try b organic detergents or just household soap. This is a good habit to follow and a must for baby clothes. Do not use scented water or starch sprays for ironing as they could react with sensitive skin. Grandma’s secret is to iron the clothes as heat “kills” germs and tightens the fibres.

- Mild colours

Pregnancy makes you glow! So just use all colours. You can count on the simplicity of black, white (off-white, ivory) and grey. One often prefers mellow pastel shades like lavender, lilac, dusty pink (old rose), anise, peach, flesh colour to flashy colours during pregnancy. Pastels enhance the radiance of your complexion and the warmth of earthy tones like the colour of sand, ochre, honey, chocolate, coffee, khaki reminds one of Mother Nature. On the other hand, avoid printed fabrics that have a tendency to make one look fat, go for checks for long shirts and sailor stripes.

 

Accessories to compliment your maternity clothes

Footwear : No more torture

It is not breaking news that you will gain weight, your feet will swell up, this happens even when taking your size! In such conditions, it is advisable to wear flats or heels less than 5 cm. Ballerina shoes and mocassins (they have come back with a bang this year) are your best friend! Choose soft leather like calfskin or nubuck, plain or in colour. In summer, flat sandals with loops or thin straps, Roman sandals with ankle straps and clogs in vogue these days, will go well with all your dresses. In winter, go for flat boots or cavalry shoes.

Inner wear for maternity, from support to attractiveness

Hormonal changes will bring about changes in your body and your undergarments will be the first ones to change. Your breasts will undergo severe tests during pregnancy: a suitable bra will be essential for maximum comfort. Generally pregnancy bras have clips to open and close the cups for nursing. They are reinforced to improve breast support. The straps are connected to supports to prevent them from slipping back when the cups are opened. As the breasts are highly sensitive, choose preformed (seamless) cups. The back and straps must be extendable and adjustable in various positions. Apart from the classic high-waist panties, newer and more suitable shapes are displayed on the shelves like boxer shorts, shortys and low-waist maternity tanga briefs are displayed on the shelves. You will also find antibacterial and disposable maternity panties. For sexy mothers-to-be, there is a choice of extremely feminine varieties like low-waist G-strings and uplift maternity bras with hooks, silk camisoles, baby doll nighties, etc.

Maternity corsets for support
