Maternity Dress - Maternity Wear Mistake

2010-03-15T17:17:00.001+08:00

In those early days of pregnancy, its easy to wear the wrong clothes and look like you're developing a bit of a tum, as opposed to a lovely pregnancy bump (an important distinction, oh yes). In the later days, the wrong sort of maternity clothes can make you look like Demis Roussos (look him up if you like - love him or hate him, you don't want to look like him).

Below being some maternity fashion talks to share with to make sure that your maternity wear collection makes you look gorgeously and wonderfully pregnant:

Please don't wear your partners oversized t-shirts. There is no substitute for maternity clothes. This is not a scam perpetuated by the maternity wear industry (honest) - its simply not flattering.
Choose maternity tops and dresses that fit nicely round the belly. If you are still worried that people think you're a bit fat - try stroking your bump in a maternal way. It always works.
Maternity clothes with ruching work well, as does maternity wear that can tie under your bump. Maternity dresses with ties also work well - they are flattering and adjustable so they grow with your pregnancy.

Don't wear maternity dresses that look like tents (see previous Demis warning). They are wrong. Big, but not clever.

Chances are that your legs will remain almost the same shape during your pregnancy. Show off your pins with well fitting maternity trousers - a good investment for your maternity clothes wardrobe.

Please buy a new bra. I went when 10 weeks pregnant to M&S and discovered that my boobs had gone up a cup size already. The best fitters are Bravissimo. A well-fitting bra can make all the difference to how you look.

Maternity Dress - Maternity Denim

2010-03-08T17:04:00.001+08:00

Tala Jeans have introduced a new sort of maternity denim to the world of motherhood. Today, moms that are expecting can enjoy fashionable style, comfortability and lasting use of their maternity denim thanks to this fine maternity wear.
These maternity jeans use a unique under the belly fit to expand with mom as she grows and shrink back down for perfect wear after baby. Unlike many other choices in maternity denim, the Tala Jeans are not created with a huge maternity insert. Why would a mom want to buy a designer pair of jeans to wear only two months or so and then hang in the closet until the next pregnancy? Now they no longer have to make that choice.

Pregnancy wear is not limited to jeans with their maternity denim selection. There are denim maternity skirts available with the same under the belly design as the traditional jeans, but with the casual look in mind for a day in the park or a night out in the restaurant. These all purpose maternity denim skirts are a must have basic staple for the maternity wardrobe.

What Makes Tala Maternity Denim Different?

Essentially what makes Tala Jeans different from other maternity denim is the attention to detail. Many of the jean designs offer a trendy look to a maternity style. Not all moms want to don jeans and pants that look like maternity wear. There is also the belly support provided for women who need a bit of extra help keeping their back supported. The under the belly design supports the weight of the belly making mom not only look better, but feel better as well.

Having a baby does not mean you need to buy house dresses and huge T-Shirts. The celebrity in us all have wondered how these famous moms walk around nine months pregnant wearing designer jeans. Under those fashionable shirts are jeans like those offered. The look is the same as every day trendy styles, with only a bit of extra room in the tummy area.

It's All in the Details

Tala Jeans are known for their attention to detail. These details include embroidery and saddle stitching. But more than a fine stitch and are affordable. When mom and dad are buying for baby, the cost of a designer pair of maternity denim jeans can seem too far outside the budget. The budget stays in check and mom is looking hotter than ever before. Beauty, style, sophistication and budget - that is one fine pair of jeans.

Maternity Dress - Maternity Support Hose

2010-03-03T16:20:00.004+08:00

There are many term of words that are used when searching for maternity panty hose, maternity panties hose, maternity panty and maternity panties. For a women expecting a baby, will be needing one of the following of maternity support hosiery, maternity support stocking, maternity support pantyhose, maternity support panty hose or maternity support hose. An expert on hosiery products, carries a large selection of maternity hosiery products. Read on to get expert advice on maternity hosiery!

Wearing maternity support pantyhose is an important way of taking care of your body during pregnancy. Wearing strong maternity support hose and maternity body shapers will aid circulation problems in the legs, reduce swelling and potentially aid in preventing future varicose veins and other ailments. Varicose veins are swollen veins that may bulge near the surface of the skin. These sometimes squiggly, blue or purple veins are most likely to show up in your legs although sometimes they do appear in other places. Many women first develop varicose veins or find that they get worse during pregnancy. As your uterus grows, it puts pressure on the large vein on the right side of your body (the inferior vena cava), which in turn increases pressure in the leg veins. Veins are the blood vessels that return blood from your extremities to your heart, so the blood in your leg veins is already working against gravity. By wearing maternity support hosiery, with doctor's guidance, it will help prevent varicose vein swelling.

The changes in your body and extra weight by the growing infant's body may cause you to have leg problems including edema, varicose veins, circulation issues, and leg pain. Wearing maternity support hosiery during pregnancy will prevent or ease varicose veins, a common effect of pregnancy and edema. Depending on pre-existing conditions, maternity support pantyhose comes in different compression strengths.

Leg cramps during pregnancy can be caused by calcium deficiency and/or poor circulation. The pressure of the baby on blood vessels and nerves that lead to your legs may also be a factor in leg cramps. Wearing support stockings, maternity support hose, resting with your legs elevated and exercising moderately will help decrease your leg cramps.

Pregnancy also increases the risk of vein inflammation with formation of blood clots (thrombophlebitis). This can destroy valves (leading to varicose veins). It would be a good idea to ask your doctor to prescribe a maternity support pantyhose or maternity support hosiery to assist with your leg blood circulation.

Most leg problems are due to poor circulation since your blood and veins need to work against gravity to get the blood back up to your heart. During pregnancy, though, your expanding belly, coupled with the extra pressure your baby puts on your body causes your veins to dilate and work much less efficiently. As your pregnancy progresses, you've probably learned to accept that your feet and ankles will always be swollen by the end of the day, your nightly leg cramps will routinely wake you up and those varicose veins may just be unavoidable. While all of these discomforts of pregnancy are normal, imagine if you could stop or even prevent them just by wearing maternity support pantyhose.

Maternity support hosiery, known as graduated-compression stockings, work best and are available from maternity stores, or online. These maternity stockings are twice as thick as normal pantyhose. Tight at the ankle, they get looser as they go up the leg, making it easier for blood to flow back up toward your heart. As a result, they help prevent swelling and may keep your varicose veins from getting worse. Put on maternity pantyhose before getting out of bed in the morning, while you're still lying down, to prevent blood from pooling in your legs, and keep them on all day. Wearing graduated compression stockings has been clinically proven to effectively prevent varicose veins and blood clots. It even relieves many uncomfortable symptoms, which occur in your legs during pregnancy. Maternity support hose may also avoid fatigue and heaviness.

Maternity compression stockings are not your typical pair of nylon stockings. A medically accepted way to treat a host of leg discomforts, medical compression hosiery is a great alternative to surgery when it comes to relieving minor to major leg issues like leg cramps, varicose veins and swelling. Regular support hose don't help the efficiency of the calf muscle pump. Non-graduated compression may actually cause more harm than good by creating a tourniquet effect. Maternity support hosiery provides a safe and effective pregnancy support.

Made of soft, breathable fabric, comfortable compression stockings will help keep your legs healthy all through your pregnancy. Maternity support hose work by promoting circulation and the return of blood back up to your heart through the venous system. They apply gradual amounts of pressure to your leg, with the most compression occurring at your ankle and lessening the further up the leg you go. While maternity compression hose may sound similar to a tensor bandage, it is not the same thing. In fact, using a tensor bandage to relieve swelling or leg pain may actually make the problem worse by cutting off your circulation completely.

If you have a family history of varicose veins or if you develop them during pregnancy, the best course of action would be wearing maternity support stockings. It would not be possible to depend on the over the counter maternity support tights or maternity support hosiery.

If you need a maternity support stockings personally fitted, then you will need to see a vein specialist.

Maternity support stockings and maternity support hosiery are recognized as a medically accepted device. Therefore, many insurance companies will cover the cost of the stockings as long as you have a doctor's prescription. Although support hose are a much cheaper and more convenient form of treatment compared to surgery for varicose veins, they are typically much more expensive than regular pantyhose.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Coat For The Cold!

2009-12-08T18:47:00.001+08:00

If you are pregnant and winter is round the corner, it may be time to buy maternity winter coats. It is better to stay warm and comfortable during the cold winter days wrapped in snug and cozy woolen jackets and overcoats. These overcoats are so popular that you may find a variety in assorted designs and fabrics, helping to make a pregnant woman comfortable, warm and fashionable.

Buying Winter Coats

Before deciding to buy maternity winter coats, it is better to consider several factors. You may have to consider how long till delivery you can wear it and if it is worth investing in a pregnancy overcoat. If it is near your due date perhaps, you may borrow or use your partner's coat and wear it proudly.

You may decide to buy it, if your due date is still a long way off and winter is fast approaching. Most of the stores display pregnancy clothes like pregnancy jackets in fall and they are available in discount prices off season too.

Regular woolen jackets are popular as their bulky nature provides warmth and they are extremely comfortable to wear during pregnancy. There are a variety of jackets such as pea, double breasted winter coats that are practical and stylish. Pea cats can be worn to the office as well as to just about any place of your choice as they are chic and comfy. Designer wear are also available for those who love to wear brand names.

Single and double breasted duffle coats are stylish and elegant. Woolen swing coats are especially cozy and snug. They help keep you warm and look your best during those cold windy days.

You may choose from among wool, duffel, corduroy, velvet and denim designs. The more elastic the stuff, the better it is as you may buy a more fitting garment and relax as you know it can stretch without making you uncomfortable during the later stages of your pregnancy period.

Many expectant mothers buy plus sizes, as they are readily available and are roomy enough to accommodate their growing belly. But if you opt for a maternity jacket you may find that it is much better designed to ensure that the wearer is comfortable.

It may be a better choice to invest in an all season long jacket that is of good quality and that is multi-functional. It may be a bit more costly but worth the extra dollars that you pay for it.

Every expecting woman needs a good dress or two in her wardrobe. During pregnancy, it sometimes seems excessive to buy a lot of nice maternity dresses that can only be worn for a few months. However, during the course of nine months of pregnancy we inevitably come upon an occasion which really calls for a dress- a wedding, an office party, an evening out with our spouse or even our own baby shower.

Pregnant women can actually get away with wearing a dress in just about any venue. Where a non-pregnant woman may look a little over the top throwing on a dress to pick up kids at school, a pregnant woman wearing a maternity dress in the pickup line at school seems perfectly normal. You can even wear the same style dress for an everyday errand to the grocery or shopping mall that you would wear out to lunch with friends, to the office or even to a wedding.

Some maternity dresses to consider this season that are super versatile and flattering to just about any body type includes the following:

Maternal America has come out with their bestselling Flutter Crochet Dress in a new raspberry sorbet color which is sure to be a hit this season. The flutter design in both the dress and top is very flattering for pregnancy. This sleeveless style is fitted across bust with ruching and cascades down the middle with plenty of fabric for an expanding belly. The crocheted hemline gives with dress an easy elegance. This is the perfect baby shower dress!

Another repeat favorite by Maternal America is the Front Tie Keyhole dress. This maternity dress has elbow length sleeves and can be worn any season and anywhere. This dress offers a clean put together look with a V neck but no cleavage, adjustable front tie and knee length hemline. Perfect for the office, out to dinner or anywhere you want to go. The front tie feature allows you to adjust the fit as your belly expands and still have the perfect fit.

This season long dresses are all the rage. Olian Maternity has a stunning full length Halter Dress that can be worn for just about any occasion. This dress has a black bodice fitted look across the bust and cascades full length with a large floral mosaic pattern of black, royal blue and white which is simply stunning and dreamy. A maternity dress like this is ready for an evening out, a walk on the beach or your baby shower.

Just about every woman feels extra pretty in a flattering dress. Maternity dresses that are well styled and made with soft stretchy fabric where you need it will bring out all of the flattering curves of your pregnancy and hide the rest. Pregnancy is one time in a woman's life when she can particularly appreciate being treated with a bit more dignity and respect. There is no better way to bring out your feminine side and glow in your pregnancy than when wearing a flattering dress. So, if the dress fits then wear it and enjoy all the extra fuss and attention you may get during your pregnancy.

Trend 3: Bohemian Style
Bohemain Style is a big hit this spring. The best way to pull this off is to pair a bohemian styled piece with something a bit more conservative. Perhaps a bohemian skirt with a solid colored top.

Color is a huge consideration for pieces this spring. An abundance of nudes offer a neutral palette which is perfect for adding a splash of color. Metallic liquid silver and gold is everywhere. Bright colors should be included such as lemon yellows, neon oranges, chartreuse, fuchsia and bright blues. Muted bright colors such as mint green and coral are also big.
Trend 5: Ruffles and Bows
Ruffles and bows dressed up simple silhouettes in the Spring 2009 Collections. Look for bows at the shoulders or hips and ruffles at hemlines.
Trend 6: Floral Prints
Floral prints are back again. Whether it is large blossoms or tiny flowers, floral prints always look great for spring. It works best to pair this look with a soft tank top or flowy tunic.
Trend 7: Oversized Jewelry
Oversized jewelry is a statement piece that can update any outfit. Huge chunky necklaces and chandelier earrings are a must. However, be careful not to wear anything too heavy.
Now that you've got an idea on what this spring is all about, pick and choose your items with confidence. Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you have to compromise your desire to be up-to-date on all the latest fashions. Be bold, you can have fun with Maternity Clothes too!

Maternity Dress: Have Your Gotten The Latest Maternity Working Wear??

2009-04-03T18:01:00.002+08:00

Work maternity clothing must be comfortable. Pregnancy obviously entails significant changes in shape and weight and the design of clothing worn throughout pregnancy must accommodate this. Maternity clothing, even though it is obviously intended for temporary use, should be durable and of a high-quality as should any garment.
Because it may be worn for more than one pregnancy, designs that incorporate timeless, traditional cuts are preferable to ones that emphasize the fads and trends of the current moment. Fortunately, these are all common characteristics of professional clothing, making fashionable work clothing and maternity clothing not mutually exclusive terms.

Because different types of work demand a different wardrobe, work maternity clothing should encompass a wide variety of designs. Many women have jobs that entail working in a office for part of their work week and doing field work or on-site work at other times. It's desirable to acquire a wardrobe that is appropriate for all of these uses. Sometimes a collection of fashionable suits will be adequate and sometimes a combination of suits and durable clothing for more intensive environments will be called for. Work maternity clothing is available in designs appropriate for these uses and many more.

The straps of a halter dress give you much needed balance when tied behind your neck, while walking on the beach.

Such a tunic top is an all time hit spring maternity apparel and may top the spring maternity fashion trends, thanks to its sheer comfort, elasticity and flexibility it provides.

Maternity Dress: a Must Have for Every Expecting Woman

2009-03-12T02:22:00.000+08:00

Every expecting woman needs a good maternity dress or two in her wardrobe. During pregnancy, it sometimes seems excessive to buy a lot of nice maternity dresses that can only be worn for a few months.
However, during the course of nine months of pregnancy we inevitably come upon an occasion which really calls for a dress- a wedding, an office party, an evening out with our spouse or even our own baby shower.

Many expecting women actually find that maternity dresses are more comfortable to wear when expecting than a pant and top combo. Even women that do not typically wear dresses for their day to day activities may find that a dress is the easiest and most comfortable clothing to wear when they are pregnant. For one thing, most maternity dresses are made with plenty of room in the belly to comfortably stretch for all nine months of your pregnancy. They also provide plenty of belly coverage so there is no worry about a top getting too short as your belly expands.

Most women like not having a waistband cutting into their belly from the early weeks of nausea to the final weeks when nothing seems to stay on your hips. Also, with a dress you know you are always well put together with no issue of mixing and matching items in your wardrobe which may no longer fit right.
Pregnant women can actually get away with wearing a dress in just about any venue. Where a non-pregnant woman may look a little over the top throwing on a dress to pick up kids at school, a pregnant woman wearing a maternity dress in the pickup line at school seems perfectly normal. You can even wear the same style dress for an everyday errand to the grocery or shopping mall that you would wear out to lunch with friends, to the office or even to a wedding.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Clothes Tips and Suggestions

2009-03-08T02:22:00.000+08:00

Here are a few suggestions for stocking up your maternity wardrobe.

Stretch Pants and Leggings:
As your belly grows you are more and more likely to seek comfort over style when it comes to jeans and pants. Fortunately you don’t have to sacrifice either when you invest in some comfy yoga pants and stylish leggings. There are so many maternity leggings on the market today; you can find ankle length leggings in just about any color from all main maternity brands, cropped maternity leggings, leggings with side ruching and even lace detail on the trim. Leggings of all types and styles make the perfect compliment to a long maternity top, maternity tunic or casual maternity dresses or skirts. Yoga pants and stretch pants are also great for loungewear, activewear or even dressed up with a nice top. Dark colors such as black, charcoal and chocolate match easily with tops in your wardrobe through the fall and winter months.

Transition Wear:
The best way to stretch your dollar when shopping for maternity clothes, is to invest in items that can be worn during and after your pregnancy. Test the fabric and look for ribbed cotton or blends with lycra and spandex in the fabric which offer extra stretch and resilience. Nursing camis and tanks that are cut extra long and that are stretchy can also double as maternity tops and are great for layering in colder weather for both before and after your pregnancy. Styles with ruching at the sides and bust are particularly good at expanding where needed without looking frumpy. Also, styles that offer nursing access can be worn after you have the baby. Even maternity bottoms that fit under the belly or that have fold over bands are easy to wear after the baby.

Lingerie:
Every woman who is expecting soon finds their bra size is the first to change, sometimes even before they are ready for maternity clothes early in the first trimester. Usually bust size will continue to increase throughout pregnancy and then when starting to nurse as well. Instead to buying maternity bra after bra, go ahead and invest in a nursing bra that can be worn after you have the baby as well. Even if the bra you are buying early in your pregnancy is too small for nursing initially, chances are you will fit into it at some point on the way down to your pre-pregnancy size as you begin to wean your baby. Also many nursing bras are made with extra stretch and adjustments to fit several cup and band sizes which will save you money for both before and after your pregnancy.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Wearing In Stages

2009-03-07T01:22:00.000+08:00

Early Stage....
For the first three months of your pregnancy or so you will still probably be able to wear your regular work clothes without even feeling anywhere near being pregnant.
In The Middle...
From 14 weeks on you start to enter the "awkward zone". This is where you are not quite looking pregnant, but you will definitely start to put on a little weight. At this stage proper maternity clothes will look way too big on you and so perhaps the easiest way to get through this stage is to buy regular skirts and shorts which have the elastic, or even better perhaps, the drawstring waistbands. Even low rise pants will do the trick for you leaving you feeling as if you are still trendy.
Sweaters, long jackets and cardigans, tunic tops, and loose shirts also work well during this transition time, gracefully concealing your growing belly without accentuating it.
Dressing For Work

For Work...
If your job calls for more formal business attire, then there are five key items which we can recommend:

pants
a skirt
a jacket
a dress
a tunic top

Those pieces can easily be combined for at least 6 different looks, by simply mixing the tunic with the skirt or pants; the jacket with the dress, pants, or skirt; or wear the dress on its own. You could even squeeze a few more outfits out of the mix by adding non-maternity sweaters and tops to the range

While you're updating your wardrobe for your pregnancy, don't forget about your feet. Many women's feet expand a half size or more during pregnancy. Your balance may be off as your center of gravity shifts with your expanding waistline.

You may need to sideline your heels for a few months, trading them in for a comfortable pair of flats or shoes with wide, chunky heels.

For Event...
Black is slimming, it's seasonless and it goes with everything. You can also make a basic black dress suit any occasion by adding the right jewelry, shoes, handbag, and even a wrap, and better yet is that these are all items that you probably already own.
If you have a gala event to attend and want to wear something really special, see if there are any businesses in your area that rent special maternity clothes. Everything from full-length Ball gowns to Halloween costumes can be rented surprisingly!

Maternity Dress: Looking After Your Skin While Pregnant

2009-03-05T01:22:00.000+08:00

I am sure that you have all heard about the glow of pregnancy, and besides the early months… and the last months, where you feel uncomfortable, aching, nauseous or tired, there are times when you really feel fantastic and that you have that ‘glow’.
Besides all of the usual symptoms and side effects of pregnancy, some women have to deal with skin symptoms such as facial-skin discoloration or melasma, also known as the mask of pregnancy.

Secrets to Looking Your Best
Using creams that also exfoliate your skin can be a real help to ensuring that your skin is well looked after. Another factor which is often forgotten is the sun. Although you may not be spending your days lying on the beach, or perhaps you are, the sun is still going to have an effect on your face – when you are driving in your car, hanging up washing or just walking around outside. To help combat this often forgotten source of danger, be sure to apply a facial sunblock every morning as well.

Facial massages from heaven
Other than using face creams and making sure that you are protected from the sun’s harmful rays, you can give yourself relaxing facial massages to help keep your skin looking, and feeling fantastic.

Maternity Dress: Plus Size Maternity Evening Wear

2009-03-03T01:22:00.001+08:00

Looking a plus size evening wear has become a difficult mission for larger women. Not only are the items incredibly hard to find and often not very fashionable, but they are often extremely ill fitting meaning they end up in sizes either too small or way too big.
How too look and feel great in any garment, particularly an evening dress? Always choose simple cuts like an A-line or sheath dress and select fabrics that hang well over your curves. Colour choice is also an important factor. Dark colours (such as black or navy), for the plus size woman are a safe choice as they can appear slimming, however don't be afraid to add a splash of colour for additional contrast and a bit of life. Not only can darker colours often be inappropriate for certain occasions but they can also become a bit of a clothing crutch.
Try something with a v-neck. If your best feature is your shoulders, then a strapless gown may work best.

A well made evening dress should always fit any body type nicely and make any woman feel beautiful - even in larger sizes for the larger woman. You can then begin to experiment using accessories - but remember, keep it simple!

Maternity Dress: Fashionable Maternity Working Wear

2009-02-15T18:56:00.003+08:00

Work maternity clothing appropriate for all of these professions makes it possible to maintain one's professional appearance while celebrating the changing shape of one's body and the joyful reason behind it.

Pregnancy has enormous impacts on one's life, some wonderful, some that present hurdles to one's professional life. One of the most difficult tasks for pregnant professionals is finding work maternity clothing that is sharp and fashionable while still being comfortable and practical.

Maternity clothing often suffers from trying to hide a pregnant woman's shape rather than celebrating it. Given the nature of pregnancy, there is no reason that a woman's new body shouldn't be cause for celebration and there is certainly no reason that a woman with child should be restricted to ugly, poorly designed clothes. There are designers all over the world that work to create fashionable options for pregnant women and many of their creations are affordable and attractive.
Work maternity clothing should be, above all else, comfortable. Pregnancy obviously entails significant changes in shape and weight and the design of clothing worn throughout pregnancy must accommodate this. Maternity clothing, even though it is obviously intended for temporary use, should be durable and of a high-quality as should any garment. Because it may be worn for more than one pregnancy, designs that incorporate timeless, traditional cuts are preferable to ones that emphasize the fads and trends of the current moment. Fortunately, these are all common characteristics of professional clothing, making fashionable work clothing and maternity clothing not mutually exclusive terms.
Because different types of work demand a different wardrobe, work maternity clothing should encompass a wide variety of designs.

Maternity Dress: 3 BIG Problems on Maternity Dressing

2009-02-11T01:22:00.000+08:00

We come in many sizes (before or during pregnancy) and it that different sizes we pack a variety or proportions. For expectant mummy, our bust, butt or hips are tend to grow in bigger sizing during our pregnancy.

So whether you're a pear of an apple, below being tips on how to dress for your shape to max out your best assets.

If you are a BIG BUST person....
Tips:
1. Balance out a top-heavy figure with an A-line dress that will give the focus out from the bust area.
2. Look less top-heavy with belt-bottom maternity trousers/pants.
3. The slight ruche details under the bust on a maxi dress is an ideal style as it points to the your abdomen and directs all eyes to your bump.
4. Get a blouse which is light on the waist ad loosens out around the chest area. It creates a picture of a small waist and illusion of an even smaller bust. Also, V-necks, boat necks and shirt collars distract from a big bustline to highlight a flattering neckline.

To avoid:

Ruffles, thin spaghetti straps, delicate camisole tops and embroidery that stretches across the bust - it calls for too much volume attention.
Pencil maternity skirts as it will only accentuate the bulk at the top
Full/puffy sleeves or tops with a lot of extra fabric on the upper body

If you are a BIG BUTT person....

Tips
1. Go for slightly flared, clean A-line maternity dresses/skirts with natural waist will highlight your shape. It looks best paired with a shorter jacket that creates fullness at the shoulders.
2. Do consider maternity tops ending at the hipbone visually break the figure down in a different place from the natural waistline and minimise a large derriere.
3. Lower waistlines visually break down the butt and minimise the appearance of its size.

To Avoid:

A high waistline maternity dress as it makes your butt look bigger
A full maternity skirt adds pounds on a bubble butt and a waistband with lots of gathering or pleats will make you look wider.
Any maternity shirt or jacket that's baggy and stops at the fullest part of your hip

If you are a BIG HIPS person....
Tips:
1. Select maternity pants that fall somewhere below the natural waistline for a better fit. Straight or slightly boot let is the most flattering.
2. Shirtdress is perfect to conceal hips. A large belt helps to create curves in the middle, drawing attention away from your thighs.
3. A defined waist, full maternity skirt and strapless cut maternity dress will gather the focus to the smaller upper-half of your body.
4. Draw attention to your tops by wearing material shits with interesting necklines or accessorising with scarves and chunky jewellery.

To avoid:

Pencil material skirts as they accentuate heavy thighs
Side pockets on material pants
Too-baggy maternity tops or too-tight maternity tops; looser materials tops will make you look large all over and tight maternity tops will make your look out of proportion

Maternity Dress: BIG Maternity Look For Valentine Day

2009-02-09T01:22:00.003+08:00

How you are going to dress up on this coming BIG day - Valentine Day?
Below are some make up tips to get yourself look more distinctive & special on this special moment!

My, what BIG EYES you have!
Getting doll-like eyes ll boils down to the right know-how.
Step 1: Apply concealer over lids to provide a base for eyeshadow then a light and a dark eyeshadow over your lids. The light colour on the inner corner opens up your eyes while the darker shade on the outer corners provides that deep-set effect. Use an eyelash curler to pen eyes up further.
Step 2: Draw a black liner on both upper and lower lids. On the lower lids, draw from outer corners to the middle of the eyeball only, or else your ryes will end up looking small.
Step 3: Coat lashes with two coats of mascara, or use individual false lashes from mid to outer corners of lashes.

BIG & POUTY LIPS
With these nifty lip-plumping steps, you can oomph-up your puckers without a filler injection.
Step 1: Dab a light layer of concealer over lips. This allows you to reshape the size of your lips, it also acts as a base to help make your lippie last longer.
Step 2: Enlarge your lips slightly by using a lip liner directly outside the natural lip line before colouring it in. Be careful not to use a too-dark colour. One that resembles your natural lip colour looks more believable.
Step 3: Colour your lips in with the lip liner before topping up with gloss at the centre of your pout.

Bye-bye BIG ZIT
Need to hide a pimple pronto but don't have much time? Here's the fastest way to do it:
Step 1: Before you apply make-up directly on the zit, be sure to treat it with a pimple treatment to clear bacteria and to stave away further inflammation.
Step 2: Pick a concealer that matches your skin tone or one that colour-corrects. Apply concealer on the zit itself and gently dab to hide the reddishness.
Step 3: Dust your skin with a light layer of powder. This will help set the concealer too.

Get BIG HAIR
All it takes is three simple steps to turn your hair from limp to ALIVE!
Step 1: If you have straight hair, an easy way to add volume is by curling the lengths. Using a volumising mousse before you style is very helpful. If you have short hair, rubbing texturiser between your palms before raking through your stands is all it takes.
Step 2: Tease the roots of your hair with a fine-toothed comb to your desired height.
Step 3: With your head down, give hair a good spritz of hairspray, focusing on the roots. Flip head over and use hands to slightly ruche up hair for maximum height.

Maternity Dress: Wearing Big Maternity Style

2009-02-08T13:18:00.004+08:00

To Wear in a Big Shirt!

Plain white oversized shirts will be another great maternity clothing alternative. Always remember to balance it out with maternity pants, or you can go casual with maternity jeans (forget full skirts or long skirts!). A waisted belt can be added as your accessory and it serves for style and decoration.

Big Accessories!

Accessories have been upgraded to a starring role these days. The focus: eyeglasses and watches. After all, it makes a lot of style sense since big frames make your face features look smaller and give a maverick feel to an ensemble. Try wearing a plain baby tee and a pair of acid-wash maternity denim Bermuda or simply adorn your wrist with an oversized metal watch or coloured bangle

Dressing in black and white is the rules of black being slimming and white adding width still apply but how to wear to get yourself look more fabulous in black & white?

Everything looks smaller in black.
During pregnancy some lucky people seem to limit their size increase to growing a beautiful compact bump out the front, while the rest of them stays exactly the same. But for many of us, pregnancy is a time when we grow…and grow…and what used to be our waist has well and truly disappeared by the end of the second trimester, or even earlier. If this sounds like you, if your bump is sizeable and you’re feeling…ahem…very curvaceous…then a little fashion ‘black magic’ may be called for.
Pregnant actress Jessica Alben(seen here well into her pregnancy, and she is rumoured to be carrying twins!) used black to cover it all up at a recent appearance.
If you are going to choose for your maternity dress in black and white clothing is polka dots, make sure they are oversized. Small polka dots will date you. Any large graphic black-and-white print is popular, and you can kick it up a notch or tone it down a notch by what you pair with it. A lime green tank with a black and white floral skirt draws attention, while the same skirt with a black sweater calms the look down. Put the tank under the sweater and you are ready to go from work to a night on the town.
Black and white is generally a more pulled together look, but if you want to wear black and white maternity clothes, you are looking great in a pair of black-and-white checked shirt with your favorite material jeans.
Black shoes are versatile and probably something you already own, but black shoes with white details pack more punch and help pull the outfit together.
For your jewelry accessories, you can go all the way with black and white enamal bangles or cuffs. Otherwise choose to add a shot of color with multicolored strands of necklaces or add some shine with a mix of silver and gold.

Maternity Dress: Are Your Shoes Fit for Pregnancy?

2009-02-01T00:11:00.000+08:00

Your feet need extra pampering when you're pregnant. Here is my previous posting on maternity shoes.

It's essential to treat your feet right during pregnancy. That means choosing shoes that are roomy and comfortable, and that offer adequate support. According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons(ACFAS), during pregnancy your feet may grow a half to a full size permanently. To ease pregnancy-related foot discomfort, the ACFAS recommends wearing an arch support to help support the extra weight your feet will be carrying, wearing athletic shoes with a roomy toe box, and wearing support stockings to minimize foot and ankle swelling.

In addition, here are questions to ask yourself while shoe shopping:-

Does it have a square toe? Not only are square toes in style, but the extra room helps ward off painful corns and bunions.

Does it have a broad, low heel? A simple loafer with a low, stacked heel offers much better support for your weight than a low-heeled pump.

Does it offer ankle support? You might think flat shoes are better than heels, but some ballet flats and moccasins don't offer adequate ankle support. Walk around the store -- if your foot lifts out of it, there's not enough support.

If it's an everyday shoe, does it have a rubber sole? These shock absorbers are easier on your knees and back. One great trend for pregnant women is "mock sneaks," which are athletic-style, slip-on, rubber-soled shoes in leather and suede.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Style Secrets

2009-01-25T01:22:00.000+08:00

No matter what body type you have, Below being few dressing tips to look great during every trimester!

There are full ranges of maternity clothing selection on the market. BUT, how to choose to fit yours body type?

If you're petite...
Stick with monochromatic tops and bottoms, which create a single line of color, lengthening your body. It helps if your shoes and stockings match, too.

Stock up on boat-neck and other high-neck tops, which draw the eye up. A choker, short strand of pearls, or a scarf also work well.

Go with slim-fitting styles instead of bulky ones. They won't overwhelm your delicate frame.

If you're curvy on the bottom...
Remember: Dark colors are slimming, so choose pants, skirts, and dresses in the classic hues of black, brown, navy, dark gray, and wine.

Avoid horizontal stripes, which will make you look wider than you are.

Try menswear-style shirts -- they're comfortable and oversized, and will minimize your hips.

If you're tall...
Maternity knee-length skirts look great on you, because they break up the length of your body.

Don't dress in all one color -- it will make you look even taller. Instead, mix and match colors. And experiment with horizontal patterns -- they'll work well on your tall frame.

Try long jackets, either with pants or over a dress.

Maternity Dress: Nice Dressing For 2

2009-01-24T01:22:00.001+08:00

When I was expecting my first child, I didn't think I needed a whole new wardrobe. Surely I could get by with just a few maternity basics, paired with some choice selections from my husband's closet, right? Wrong. One day, a coworker pointed at my waist, where my unbuttoned jeans were poking out against my oversize shirt, and said loudly, "Is that your belly button popping out like that?" I was mortified, but I learned a lesson: When you're expecting, your body changes -- and your clothing should too. Investment in maternity clothing is really needed.

My point is, during pregnancy, comfort is key, and it all begins with your briefs. Whether you wear thongs, bikinis, or Bridget Jones "granny panties," stick to the style you're used to -- just buy them at least one or two sizes bigger as your belly grows. Be sure they're cotton so the fabric will stretch and breathe. Mine experience was -- If you don't get proper support, you're going to be very uncomfortable.

Not only your belly grows -- your breasts will change too. "One of the more obvious changes in early pregnancy is tenderness and, later on, enlargement. A soft, cotton sports bra can help in the first trimester when your breasts are very tender. Later on, look for a soft, elastic cup, and skip the stiff underwire -- it may be uncomfortable as your breasts get heavier.

Your breasts will probably continue to get bigger throughout your pregnancy, so don't buy a ton of bras during your first trimester. Play it by ear, and change sizes when you feel like you're spilling over or you're uncomfortable in the ones you've been wearing.

In your last trimester, ask a knowledgeable salesperson to help you find a maternity bra that will double as a nursing bra. Make sure the cups and the bra band aren't tight. Anything too restrictive can increase your chances of heartburn.

Do noted that do not throw aways bras that you've bought during your pregnancy. Our body & breast size will takes time to turn back to the pre-pregnant size, these bras will be playing a important role right after you've given birth to your little one.

Maternity Dress: Gotta Have It: Convert Your Shirts into Maternity Wear

2009-01-22T21:32:00.005+08:00

These funky undershirts keep you from flashing bump -- and they're great for nursing too.
You lucky preggo -- you're cultivating a bump just as empire-waist tops are at the height of fashion. You sailed through the first trimester barely buying anything maternity. But now that you're getting bigger, your belly is starting to play peekaboo -- and do your coworkers really need to see the bump up close?
Make your shirts stretch into the second trimester with Blush Accessories' Topless Undershirt. It's a tube top that begins where your bra ends and stretches over the belly.

Continue to wear those cute tees and cropped sweaters well into your pregnancy -- it doesn't matter if they creep up because the undershirt's got the belly covered. Wear it a little lower on the hips to hide how you're still sporting your regular jeans with the button undone (the clingy polyester/rayon/spandex fabric helps them stay up too). Although you might have to retire the tube in the third trimester depending on how big you get, we love it because you can whip it out again in the "fourth trimester" to make sure your postpartum midsection stays undercover when you nurse.

Maternity Dress: Tips for a Formal Night Out

2009-01-22T21:26:00.004+08:00

How to make maternity look glamorous??

Flummoxed by how to get ready for that fancy event -- and wondering where on earth you'll find formal wear to accommodate your belly? Don't panic and grab the first thing you find in desperation. The most important thing to remember when dressing up during pregnancy is to maintain the sense of style you had before you were pregnant, advises Liz Lange, owner and designer of Liz Lange Maternity. Lange's business was born out of her own frustration with the lack of selection in maternity clothing.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare for your evening out:

Dress up the classic black dress. The easiest solution to your dilemma problem is to start with a well-fitting black dress. Almost everyone has one, and if you don't, it's a great piece to have in your maternity wardrobe. Add sheer black stockings and a pair of dressy (but comfortable) black heels, finish the look with a great necklace, pearls, or a pair of beautiful earrings. Presto -- you've got an easy evening ensemble you can wear over and over!

Experiment with separates. Search your closet, or your best friend's, for any pieces you may have that you can combine to form an appropriate outfit. Lange's favorite pairings are a black skirt with a cashmere sweater set or slim black pants with a taffeta evening blouse or tunic. If you're going to wear all black, add a dash of color and luxury with a pashmina, cashmere, or silk wrap, advises Lange.

Play up your best features. Work with styles that accentuate your arms and legs because it will balance your beautifully expanding belly. Choose sleeveless tops or dresses -- they create one long silhouette. When you're deciding between long and short hemlines, go short and wear stockings that match your shoes so your legs look like uninterrupted slim lines.

Turn up your hair and makeup a notch. Emphasize your eyes with a shimmery shadow and two coats of mascara, and give your lips a swipe of gloss. Take a few extra minutes to blow-dry your hair with a round brush and then smooth a few drops of silicone-based serum over your hair for shine.

Maternity Dress: Best Fit Maternity Jeans!

2009-01-22T20:44:00.002+08:00

It’s all about maternity jeans when you’re pregnant. Every time you step out of the house, whether you’re going to the grocery store, visiting a friend or a casual dinner with your spouse, 10 to 1 you will be wearing jeans.

It’s amazing how the same pair of maternity jeans can be worn so many different ways. You can do anything from hills to flip-flops, depending on how dressed up you need to be. Maternity jeans are like your sweat pants except you can’t wear your sweats to dinner.

Since you’ll wear maternity jeans throughout your entire pregnancy, not only should your jeans be cute but they should meet the pregnancy guidelines. It’s pretty simple: They must look amazing, and they have to make a heroic effort to fight PPB (pregnancy plumber's butt), although let's face it -- in the last month all bets are off. To find the best comfort you have to decide what type of band you like best. Many of our trendiest moms prefer these three types of bands: no band, below the belly, and mid-belly.

No Band
Designed to flatter your curves, Habitual Maternity Jeans are famous for the no band feature. These jeans are seen on countless celebrities including Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes. They have a very low-rise underbelly fit with a button and zip-fly, so they look like your favorite non-prego jeans. An adjustable button-out waistband allows you to wear these jeans at any point during your pregnancy and beyond. These are a perfect transition jean, too. Don’t tell anyone but I wear these when I am bloated.

Below the Belly
If you prefer a little extra belly support then you will not want to pass up on these hot Maternal America Maternity Jeans. A 3" smooth elastic waist band provides an easy fit and comfortable support throughout pregnancy and in the transition period after. When wearing a top that covers the band you won’t be able to tell they’re maternity. So don’t be afraid to wear these for a long as you want after the baby.

Mid-Belly
Want fashion and convenience then Mama Black Maternity Jeans are perfect for you. On days when you need the extra support then just roll the band up and on days when you want to show a little skin then just fold it down. They are so comfortable and stretchy you’ll forget you’re wearing jeans.

Flattering maternity jeans are hard enough to find when you’re not pregnant!If you find a pair of jeans that you like but you feel they’re a bit pricey, think about how often you’ll wear them during your pregnancy and after. The better your jeans fit the more you’ll wear them and chances are for a longer period of time. Don’t hate the jeans you wear, love them!

Maternity Dress: Maternity Make-up

2009-01-19T01:22:00.003+08:00

Get-in-the mood!
As the mercury rises it's time to turn up the heat on key make-up looks. It is very important and yet easier to get yourself make over into a sexy women during your pregnancy. Check out these easy, sexy make up that works for every mood throughout your maternity journey.

Eye in violet shade
It might be a special dinner even for you. In order to create a killer night-time eyes in shades of violet. Line the inner and outer rim of both top and bottom lashes with the deepest colour, then blend using lighter shades. Contour cheeks with cream or fine powder bronzer. A slick of clear gloss completes your cunning plan.

Sexy Goddess
Got a hot-date? Anniversary or anything that you can think of. Channel sex siren Bridget Bardot - kohl-rimmed eyes plus pale pout works every time. Using a small brush, apply dark brown (preferably gold-flecked) shadow to the lashline, then blend towards the crease for a classic smoky eye. Sweep a light shade of bronzer all over face to warm up skin. Cover mouth with concealer, then sheer or nude lippie.

Attractive Look
Attract attention for all the right reasons and add freshness to a tired complexion by warming cheeks with peach blusher. Use your fingers to blend the colour from the apples softly down and across to ear lobes for a natural, lit-from-within effect. On lips, use the same colour cheek cream or go with matching lipsticks for overall glow.
Quick trick: Coral looks damn hot on a tanned complexion, so mix a liquid bronzer with your moisturiser to layer on before foundation. Result? Golden, healthier-looking skin.

Romantic Flush
There 's nothing sexier than flushed lips. The tricks to a perfect stain? Layering. Use your finger to press colour on - applying it straight from the sticks looks heavy and won't last all night long. Concentrate on the centre of your mouth for a demure, buy check-this-out finish. Keep it balances with a neutral shade of eyeshasow plus a thick coat of linky black mascara.

Maternity Dress: Diaper Bag's Time

2009-01-17T21:40:00.006+08:00

Hey Mother or Mother To Be, have your gotten your favourite diaper bag? For Expectant Mother, it will be another item for you to think about during your maternity journey.

About myself? I had no chance to shop for my diaper bag during my maternity period. Due to budget issue, I have been using a pre-owned diaper bag. It was from my friend. It is not a modern diaper bag but the design is very lovely. At least, it is very useful and I am still using it until today!
Finding the best diaper bag is only one of the many things a new mother must do, but it is also an important decision. Choosing the wrong style of diaper bag can bring about frustration in a hurry. I know of many moms who decide on having more than one, because different times call for a different type or size bag. It makes sense when you stop to think about it. If you are taking the baby for a walk in the stroller, there is no need for a large diaper bag.

The best diaper bags come in all shapes and sizes. Some will have well-known children’s characters on them, while others may come in pastel colors, or in blue or pink to signify a boy or a girl. Cool diaper bags can be simple, while others come with many different options. One of the best diaper bags I've seen even has a bottle warmer and cooler included inside. It is amazing at how far diaper bags have come over the years.
I've seen a few women opt to buy a large bag that is not really designed as a diaper bag. They do this because they don’t like the look of a traditional diaper bag, and want something more stylish. There are bags of all sorts that will fit the bill, but the best diaper bags are the ones that have more than enough room for your baby’s needs.

You can find cool diaper bags in almost any department store you enter. One of my favorite stores to shop for the best diaper bags is Babies-R-Us. You can also find the baby section in any large department store and there will be baby items of all sorts from which to choose. Don't forget the Internet in your search for the best diaper bags. You can also find great deals on diaper bags on eBay.
If you don’t feel store bought diaper bags are for you, you can make them yourself. If you can’t sew very well, you may want to leave this to someone who knows what he or she is doing. If you can sew, you may already have a great idea on how to go about making cool diaper bags.

Again, you may also find homemade diaper bags for sale online or on eBay. These can be great deals, and will be a way to find diaper bags that are big enough for your needs, but don’t have a commercial feel to them. Some come made in all natural fibers, and are great for the environmentally minded mom.
If you are planning to buy diaper bags for a mom to be, make sure you keep her needs and her style in mind. If she can’t stand Winnie the Pooh, don’t buy her a diaper bag that features that character. If she is a career mom, she may enjoy a bag that is a bit more discreet and does not shout out that it is indeed a diaper bag.

By taking your time and looking around, you'll find what you're looking for. In the end, the best diaper bag is the one that fills your needs.

Maternity Dress: Make Up Looks more Sexier!

2009-01-14T16:43:00.005+08:00

Being pregnant does not have to mean that you are no longer the same sexy women you were just a few months ago. Your belly is growing and you are acquiring some curves but this is not a bad thing. Your husband at this moment most likely finds you incredibly hot. Men like to make things. You are walking proof he can help make a baby. This is a major turn on for him. Your growing breasts and butt are probably grabbing his attention as well. You are so sexy instead!!

So while you are feeling down on your changing body, remember that he still finds you just as attractive if not more. You are still just as beautiful as before or even can be look more sexier by just putting little make up. Here are some maternity makeup tips that can be utilized whether you are taking professional pictures or just striving to look and feel your best throughout your maternity journey.

1. Keep Foundation Light.

Skin can be sensitive and unpredictable during pregnancy. To avoid clogging newly sensitive pores, keep the foundation and cover up light. Focus on moisturizing and exfoliating your face for a healthy natural glow.

2. Make Long Lashes to Wake up Your Eyes.

Feeling tired with sagging eyes is something every pregnant woman goes through. Use an eyelash curler and a thin coat of waterproof mascara for a dramatic but natural looking change in how awake your eyes appear. Clear gel mascara meant to define your lashes is a great choice for women who rub their eyes often or are sensitive to mascara.

3. Utilize Eyeliner for a Dramatic Change from Day to Night.

Eyeliner is a great tool that can be thrown in a purse and makes a woman look totally different once applied. If you have a busy day and night where you are going to be out and about but you don’t want to fuss with a lot of makeup, wear a thin coat of eyeliner on the top lid during the day and apply another coat on top and add liner to the bottom lid for an evening look.

4. Wear Lip balm over Lipstick to Soften the Color and Hold it in Place.

Constant snacking and a lot of drinking are both attributes of the expecting mother. To keep your lipstick looking fresh, apply lip balm after the lipstick has dried. Lip balm will make the color glossy but more subtle, and it will not be as noticeable as it wears off between nibbles.

5. Keep Personal Fragrance to a Minimum.

The nose of a pregnant woman is finicky. Perfume that smelled fantastic at the store last night can make her sick the next day. To avoid nausea from a scent that smells great when you put it on but may turn your stomach mixed with fast food on the go, stick to natural and fresh scents as opposed to heavy perfumes. Use a lotion or oil that is scented instead of using a spray-on fragrance.

6. Carry Nail Manicuring Tools in your Purse. Avoid toxic nail polish during pregnancy, but keep your nails looking their best by having what you need on hand. A small pair of nail clippers and a file with a cleaning tool should be enough to keep your nails looking clean, health and pretty.

Maternity Dress: Shoes For Maternity

2009-01-14T15:53:00.003+08:00

To walk comfortably during pregnancy?? How??

It is important. Why?

It may become a temptation to keep your same old shoes during the entirety of your pregnancy, however that should not be common practice. While most women won't notice a change until later in their pregnancy, it is important to keep almost constant tabs on your foot health.

This is especially true when your baby bump becomes larger, and begins to put more pressure on your lower back. Finding the right pair of shoes not only has the ability to make you feel better physically, but can be added as an accessories to your favorite outfit. One of the most tale tell signs that you are ready for a new pair of shoes, is that your previous pair seems to be getting a little tight. I would suggest to not ignore your body's warning, as this can lead to longer and more uncomfortable recovery from the problems caused by poor fitting shoes.

While most women consider their maternity wear during pregnancy with a harsh view, many seem to neglect an every day necessity. It is important during your pregnancy to find a properly fitting and well supported maternity shoe during your pregnancy months. According to the American College of foot and ankle surgeons, it is suggested that pregnant women wear square toed shoes; because they offer extra room. They also highly suggest that you opt for shoes that have a broad, low heel since ballet flats and moccasins may not be the best choices due to the lack of ankle support. It is suggested that you have your foot size checked after the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy; as the ligaments within the foot of a pregnant woman will begin to soften, and may become up to a half size bigger which will make older shoes tight. It has also been speculated, that a decent pair of shoes that aids in circulation may help to prevent varicose veins as well; there are multiple reasons for you to consider making your next purchase of shoes throughout your pregnancy process.

It is a misconception that you need to steer clear of a heel during pregnancy, however a slight heel on your shoe tends to be better for your posture. They also tend to be far better on your back than either a high heel or the totally flat shoes such as a ballet flat. I would suggest purchasing shoes that are made of either leather or canvas, as they allow your feet to breath well. While shopping for your maternity shoes, you may wish to consider athletic shoes as they provide good support for the arches, and heels of your feet; and tend to lend themselves well to both home or work environments.

Maternity Dress: Work Out Maternity Clothing Tips

2009-01-13T01:24:00.000+08:00

OK, I know some of us had dreams that when we were pregnant, we would spend the whole 9 months reclining (gracefully!) on the sofa while someone brought us bowls of ice-cream and chocolate biscuits, and massaged our very slightly swollen but still elegant-looking feet. And of course we would put on exactly the recommended amount of weight, and our belly would be perfectly shaped and cute. Sigh…the reality can be just a little different.

Remember that staying active and healthy during pregnancy has many benefits, and gentle exercise like pre-natal yoga is perfect. It seems yoga is an all-time favourite with the celebs, and most keep going right through pregnancy. Both Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry are reportedly including yoga in their pregnancy exercise routines. So what to wear? Your pre-pregnancy workout clothes may not fit for long, and you want to be comfortable, right?

A couple of factors should be taken into consideration when buying workout clothing and will often vary due to individual taste. The first factor is the climate in which you're working out. For cooler climates, long sleeves, leggings and a light-weight jacket might be more appropriate. In warmer climates, short unitards or bike shorts might be enough. A second factor is the type of exercise you are doing. For a low impact exercise like yoga, a jog bra might be fine. However, if you choose to run or do a higher impact exercise, a good sports bra would be much more supportive.

Fabric is another personal preference. Some women find that a cotton/spandex blend wicks moisture away effectively. Meanwhile, others prefer the higher tech Supplex or Lycra blends that are very stretchy and also do a good job of wicking moisture. However, there is one drawback to both types of blends: they can easily shrink if not washed in cold water and hung up to dry.

What's Your Style?
For some women, the unitard is a maternity staple because they create a long line and don't cut into the thighs. They also provide support under clothing without lines or elastic digging in, even if you gain a lot of weight during pregnancy. Most unitards come in a sleeveless or with long or short sleeves, short or full legs, and can also be worn after the baby is born.
If you are not one to go the unitard route, many women really like the idea of fitness separates. For example, you can use a pair of bike tights and sports bra tops with tanks or tees over them. This way, you can buy a couple of each and mix and match throughout the entire week. You can also wear the longer maternity leggings if you are looking for a little extra coverage when modesty is important. The separates do provide a little easier bathroom access than unitards, and when you are pregnant, you know this is a big issue.

I would recommend a few basics for nine months of working out that would cover all the bases.

1 pair maternity fitness shorts
1 pair maternity yoga pants (long or capri); for yoga or any activity
2 really good and supportive bras
1 supportive swimsuit for any kind of water workout
2 maternity tanks or tees for layering

If you want to find something to wear after the baby is born, look for a style that was specifically designed with that in mind, such as Fit Maternity's maternity/postnatal unitard. Remember that your fitness wear should fit comfortably and that waistbands should rest either over or under the belly to minimize unnecessary pressure across the middle.

With your doctor's approval, exercising throughout your pregnancy is not only possible and beneficial, but, with today's maternity fitness wear options, you can be fashionable and comfortable, too! Why not take advantage of the selections available and choose the proper fitness wear for you? Enjoy staying fit through your pregnancy and look good while doing it!

Maternity Dress: Maternity Talk on Natural Childbirth vs Epidural??

2009-01-11T01:24:00.000+08:00

Many women choose natural childbirth in order to participate fully in the birth of their baby and to have control over the birthing experience. By choosing natural childbirth, she will be using a minimum of routine interventions during labor and is expecting to be unmedicated throughout the birth.

Allowed me to take this opportunity to share mine. I being one of those mummies who given birth in a natural way. The labour experience was really impressed me & my hubby. It was great and it really remind me how difficult to get a baby born on this planet. It was a miracle! Of course, I would like to thank you all mother in this world, it meant you, for giving birth to your little one.

Natural childbirth means that the birthing mother accepts that she will probably feel pain and discomfort as part of labor and birth. Positive aspects of natural childbirth include no loss of sensation. She will also remain alert during labor and birth.

By choosing natural childbirth, you can move around freely and use whatever positions you find comfortable throughout labor. Many women feel a sense of empowerment or accomplishment after giving birth unmedicated. Even though they had pain, many choose to remain unmedicated for future births.

Most techniques advocated with natural childbirth are non-invasive. Partners and other family members will feel more involved as they help the mother cope and work through her contractions.

Childbirth classes teach techniques to help the mother attain a natural childbirth. These techniques may be practiced before labor begins. By practicing and understanding these techniques, some of the fear and anxiety she may be experiencing is lessened.

Unlike an epidural, these techniques do not remove the pain. They give you means to cope with it. If you still find that you cannot deal with the pain, an epidural or other pain relief can be given in the hospital if you are not too close to delivery.

Getting ready for natural childbirth helps a family prepare for their new baby. First, you develop your birth plan. This is a written plan for you and your caregivers that give them an idea of your wishes during labor and birth.

You can have a natural childbirth without drugs in a hospital, a birthing center or at home. Birthing centers are an option that is family-centered and is a compromise between a hospital and birthing at home. Hospitals are moving towards this design by calling their maternity wards birthing centers, and creating a more home-like environment. Relaxed visitation hours are often employed.

Achieving a natural childbirth can be easier when you use a midwife, a doula or other birth attendant. Midwives are familiar with comfort measures to help you cope with labor pain without resorting to drugs, and can provide a more personalized prenatal care routine than you can get from an obstetrician.

If you have an obstetrician, your labor care will be provided by the hospital nurses. Some nurses have studied natural techniques, but they are only available until their shift is over. You may get assigned a nurse on the next shift whose preferred method of labor management is to repeatedly offer an epidural.

Even if your heart is set on a natural childbirth, it is important to remain flexible. No one can predict how labor will flow, and sometimes interventions are truly needed.

Studies have proven that if a woman has continuous support, they are less likely to need pain medication for labor and delivery than if they are alone or feel unsupported. Partners can learn to do this in childbirth classes, and doulas can be hired to help. Unlike nurses, doulas don't work by shifts... they are there for the duration of the birth.

Studies have also proven that mothers who prepare with certain types of pain management methods before labor are more likely to succeed in having the birth they want. Breathing, positioning, relaxation, hypnosis, acupuncture, massage and hydrotherapy are a few choices a woman may look at when deciding how to prepare for birth.

By the time your reach your third trimester, you may be sick of your maternity clothes and frustrated because you can no longer see your feet.

It is hard to feel good when your bra is digging into your sides and your underwear is cutting off the circulation in your legs. Bite the bullet and invest in some cotton maternity underwear and a bra that is sized to fit your pregnancy cleavage.

Maternity Dress: 6 Maternity Clothes Fashion Tips

2008-12-22T01:24:00.001+08:00

Hey!! Some maternity fashion tips to share with...

1. Choose stretchy fabric.

Buy clothing with a lot of stretch but that fits snuggly around the belly and your curves. Wearing bigger clothes may sound comfortable and practical, but clothes that do not hug your figure will actually make you look bigger than you are and you may be mistaken for overweight rather than pregnant. Choose clothing that emphasizes the parts of your that are not expanding - such as ruched sleeves to show off your arms, cropped pants or skinny jeans if you have trim legs.

2. Buy tops with ruching designs.

Ruching is when the fabric is gathered on the sides with elastic in a stylish way to fit snuggly and stretch with your body as it expands. This type of styling is perfect for maternity because it actually trims down your silhouette and allows you to look pregnant and sexy at the same time. Ruching at the sides allows a snug fit over the belly and ruching at the bust also allows for an attractive fitted look with room for expansion.

3. Try leggings.

Leggings which used to be so taboo after the 80s are back in style and so much better than they ever were. Today's leggings come in all colors, lengths and fabrics for any season- there are cropped leggings with lace, leggings with ruching detail below the knee and leggings that hit ankle length for the colder months. Today's leggings come in all different colors and styles, so choose a good weight legging for the weather with a lot of stretch and pair with a tunic, longer maternity top or sweater. Best of all leggings are super comfortable for maternity and can fit either below, across or over the belly depending on the style you choose.

4. Show some skin.

By showing a little skin, you can show you are still sexy when you are pregnant. Pregnancy is not a time to hide behind your clothes and cover up your whole body in shame. Be proud and show off your new curves. For many women this is the first time they can experience some cleavage, so take advantage of this life changing event and try out some new necklines. Scoop necks, cross over style V necks and sexy maternity tanks and tubes are all popular styles in maternity today, so now is the time to try out some new looks with your new enhancements!

5. Dress with color.

Although everyone likes black and denim, don't get stuck in rut with all neutrals for 9 months or you will tire of your maternity clothes very quickly. Instead, mix it up a bit with some pastels and bright tees and tanks for summer and a colorful sweater or two for Fall and Winter. After all, if you already have a lot of neutrals, chances are your colorful items will mix and match very well with your existing wardrobe.

6. Be Decorative.
Every wardrobe needs a few decorative accents to keep it interesting. It's important to invest in a few fashion items with color so you can keep your maternity wardrobe interesting. Try some ruffled trims or embroidered tops and tunics to mix up the fabric a bit. Beaded accents on a halter top can make an otherwise ordinary looking top take on new life. Pick some items with some decorative detail you really like and you will find yourself reaching for them in your closet when you want jazz it up a bit. Small details such as fashion pieces with a styling detail can make pregnancy an even more enjoyable time.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Weekend Essentials

2008-12-21T01:24:00.000+08:00

Weekend essentials – stay warm and comfortable this winter!

As your pregnant tummy grows it starts to take up more space. Pretty obvious, right? And those comfy tops which used to keep you warm in winter now have a draughty gap at the bottom where your newly enlarged belly peeps out above the waistline of your pants or skirt. With days as cold as they have been lately, that’s NOT something you would look forward to. Luckily, a good maternity top takes care of the problem; they’re made over-long, so they have plenty of length to cover your tummy comfortably and keep you warm as you grow! But clever styling ensures that they also hug you in all the right places so they don’t just look big and baggy (which is the look you’ll end up with if you just borrow your guy’s jumper instead).

Pair any of our casual tops with a comfortable pair of jeans, and we’ll keep you warm through the winter. Try the crossover top, which is great for maternity wear and breastfeeding afterwards too, or the cosy pointelle hoodie, which comes in three shades. Heaps more great jeans ideas here or just go denim shopping.

An absolute essential for warm weekend wear is our long sleeved French terry hoodie. It’s softer than soft, comes in four shades, and was a favourite of Jessica Alba during her pregnancy.

I have to confess that some weekends, especially when I’m relaxing at home, I hardly ever make it out of my favourite tracksuit. If you’re going to be wearing your tracksuit every weekend all through winter, it makes sense to get a nice one, right? With our black velour track pants and hoodie this weekend favourite has been given a super stylish makeover. It’s velvet soft and absolutely good enough to leave the house in, so you can enjoy your weekend café breakfast in style and comfort!

Maternity Dress: Maternity Fall Fashion 2009

2008-12-20T01:32:00.000+08:00

With everything constantly changing each season, (the leaves, your belly, the trends) it may be a bit hard to keep up. When a new style comes in for the season the Trend Setter doesn't always accommodate for all the pregnant women.

Most of the time our bellies won't fit in all the cute new styles. So we have gathered up some tips for this fall so you can still look fashionably up to date.

A TAILORED MATERNITY JACKET

There is a return to tailoring and sophistication this season. While we won't do to well in a tailored waist dress, who said we can't do a tailored jacket. Be sure to purchase a tailored maternity jacket since it will be the base point of every woman's wardrobe this season. The great thing about a tailored maternity jacket is that it can give your wardrobe personality. It's the thing you can build around. Tip: Mix it up with a fitted comfy dress or your favorite designer maternity jeans and some boots.

MASSIVE NECKLACES Well

This is something we haven't seen for quite some time. Necklaces with colored stones and crystals that are big, inventive and architectural. While most will be able to pull off these massive necklaces we need to be on the more careful side. We don't want to wear anything that gives off too much attention because it will take away our belly. Tip: Look for more simple necklaces with medium to small sized stones and crystals.

TOP-HANDLED BAG

If you change anything up this season be sure to replace your slouchy-pouchy hobo purse with a ladylike top-handled bag in a yummy fall tone of aubergine, putty, camel, dark green, or chocolate. It doesn‘t matter how much you spend on the bag just know that you have an on-trend must-have. Tip: If you're like me and can't seem to break your black bag habit, then at least try to choose a black with a little shine, a crackled finish, or some hardware that really lifts the black up.

BANGIN' BOOTIES

Whether it's the scrunchy boot, a mid-calf, or an over-the-knee boot, we think the boot is the most important shoe of the season. We love them with heels, stilettos, or flats...we love them all. It's really about a boot wardrobe this season. And it looks fantastic with every single item in your closet. Tip: Pair your boots with a flowy maternity dress.

A SENSATIONAL SHIRT

No longer just for secretaries or 80's working girl, the bow-neck shirt is a pretty way to freshen up for fall - provided you proceed with a healthy dose of fashion-forward. If you're wearing a bow shirt, it shouldn't be too conservative. You don‘t want to look like you‘re running for office. Look for a feminine and pretty version with small ruffles. Tip: Pair with an edgy boot or accessory.

THOU SHALT NOT's

BABYDOLLS If it's too voluminous, it needs to go. Put baby dolls in the back of the closet! Those need to go away for a while because we really are celebrating the natural shape of the body, curves and all, with a longer, leaner more tailored silhouette.

BIG PANTS While it's a great season for trousers, not all pants need apply. Be sure that your pant doesn't have too big of a flair.

FAB FLORALS, NOT PAINTERLY PRINTSThe painterly splashes we saw were very much the print of the season, but obviously that's a summer look, so put that back in the back as well. Switch them out for a lighter, more natural floral with a dark background so it looks more relevant to the colder weather.

So who is your favorite celebrity mom? Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon.

Secret Number 1

Its all in the maternity style! You gotta invest in some hot maternity clothing that is edgy, colourful with up to the minute style. Its ok buying a size up in regular clothing, but as your shape changes, so does the ability to look hot in regular clothes. So this is our very obvious secret: source out hot maternity wear! You know, these days, maternity wear is styled on what’s fashionable at the present time and gone are the days of flowing pinafores, tents and bibs n’ braces.

The great Cate Blanchett has welcomed a third son with her playwright husband, Andrew Upton.

Secret Number 2

Don’t be afraid to layer it all up! In other words, go boho! Don’t be afraid to put stripes with floral or lace with hot colours, layer over layer. This works really well in the cooler months but remember to keep it simple. Don’t overdo it! Experiment and have fun.

Secret Number 3

Go the extra mile for really important events. So many beautiful maternity gowns, maxi dresses and minis are around at the moment in gorgeous prints and colours. Remember that your pregnancy should be a time to remember and you wanna remember yourself looking and feeling gorgeous and radiant.

Secret Number 4

Enhance the Glow! There’s gotta be some benefits to being pregnant, right? Make the most of that gorgeous shiny hair and strong nails and take time out for manicures (even if you have to do it yourself!) and trips to the hairdressers. You shouldn’t need much make up as the new you will be glowing with radiance!

Secret Number 5

Key maternity pieces such as wrap skirts & maternity dresses, maternity tops and maternity skirts with shirred panels and fabrics in soft jersey and lycra will ensure you look amazing without the bulk! Gone are the days when jersey was considered drab, boring and cheap! Nowadays, it made from super soft materials which not only drape fabulously but actually make you look slimmer, just enhancing the bump. Lycra used to only be used for swimwear or dancewear, but now it is available in gorgeous colours with lots of stretch-ability to create amazing styles that accentuates the bumps, curves and growing boobs.

Secret Number 6

Lets talk sexy maternity lingerie! Gone are the days of the shoulder boulder nursing and maternity bras, now we have some seriously sexy lingerie that brings a smile to everybody’s face. It simple: if you feel good, then you look good – its shows in your confidence and the way that you walk and talk.

Secret Number 7

Don’t hide your body! This is probably the most important rule of all and its very true. If you hide it, then you’re probably gonna end up looking bigger. Use belts positioned above the bump (on your torso’s smallest area) to ‘bring in’ wide smock flowing maternity tops and don’t be afraid of figure hugging fabrics layered to create a very sexy and feminine look.
The most important rule of all is to be kind to yourself. Take this time to relax, nourish your soul and create perfect harmony for your growing baby.

Maternity Dress: Transition Wear -- Maternity Clothes for Post Pregnancy Too!

2008-12-18T13:54:00.007+08:00

Often women do not want to invest in maternity clothes because it feels extravagant to spend a lot of money on something you can only wear for about 6 months. Also, there is a certain stigma to some about wearing some tented dress or obvious maternity support band pant after you have your baby and have not yet lost the “baby fat.” Every woman knows there is nothing worse than being caught in maternity clothes after the baby, or even worse, being mistaken for pregnant when you are not! Fortunately there are some new styles out on the market today, often called “transition wear” that do not look like maternity clothes and can actually be worn after the baby when you are no longer pregnant but not yet down to your pre-pregnancy size and shape.

Now there are many stylish nursing tops on the market today that are made to double as maternity tops with longer tummy styles and extra stretch in the fabric. Most of these maternity and nursing tops are labeled as such and can be worn throughout your pregnancy and afterwards. Often these styles come in ¾ sleeves which works well for all seasons of the year and can be layered with a sweater in colder months.

Lounge Pants or soft and stretchy Yoga Pants are now the new rage in everyday wear for both maternity and non-maternity clothes. It seems many women are looking for something easy and comfortable that they can wear all day be it running errands, going to the gym or puttering about the house. Some of these pants are so comfortable they can even double as pajama bottoms. Majamas and 1 in the Oven maternity lines both make an excellent transition wear yoga pant that do not stretch out of shape with pregnancy and can be worn after the baby without looking like maternity pants. The fold over ruched style pant by 1 in the Oven is especially versatile because it can be worn over the belly for more tummy coverage during pregnancy or folded down to be worn across the belly for postpartum wear.

Nursing and maternity sleepwear are a very good investment if you plan to nurse after the baby. Not only are they made with more belly room to comfortably fit you while pregnant but the easy nursing access at night it invaluable if you plan to nurse. As every nursing mom as found out at some point, trying to properly position your baby to nurse in the middle of the night through the tangle of a non nursing nightgown is next to impossible. Transition wear sleepwear is simply a whole lot easier to “work” with in nighttime nursing and also looks and feels better than a huge nightshirt or oversized pajamas when you are pregnant or just delivered.

Buy at least one versatile maternity and nursing dress. There is a very good chance that at some point while you are pregnant or soon after you deliver that you will need to dress up in an actual dress. More than likely there are more than one or two occasions for you to wear a dress during this time, so it is probably worthwhile for you to invest in a maternity and nursing dress than can be worn during pregnancy or after the baby. If you do plan to nurse your baby and maybe need to go to a christening, a baby shower or other such “dress up” event, a dress designed for nursing will make that day a whole lot more fun if you need to nurse your baby. Any woman who has tried to nursing while wearing a non-nursing dress can tell you the now humorous stories of having to disrobe in some cramped bathroom stall to attempt to feed her hungry screaming baby and keep her sanity in the process. The other advantage is that a nursing dress will actually play up your assets with a design for a nursing woman’s body which is usually a de-emphasis on the tummy and more room across the chest. Since many nursing dresses are designed for maternity as well, go ahead and buy one while you are pregnant to get your money’s worth and full enjoyment from your purchase!

One final thought of an absolute must-have for any woman planning to nurse after the baby is a few well made nursing bras. Like all transition wear clothing nursing bras more than serve their purpose as they can also be worn throughout maternity. Many of these bras are made with extra stretch and support to comfortably fit several band and cup sizes so they can continue to fit you even as your body changes throughout maternity and breast feeding.

The main advantage in transition wear clothing is that they are made to stretch and are designed to stylishly fit a woman’s body throughout the changes of pregnancy and postpartum. Due to this versatility and the much needed nursing access if you plan to nurse, transition wear clothes earn their weight in gold!

Maternity Dress: Tips of Buying Maternity Nursing Bras

2008-12-10T00:12:00.001+08:00

In the first trimester of pregnancy most women will outgrow their pre-pregnancy bras about the same time they outgrow their pre-pregnancy jeans and pants. So, as soon as you need to buy maternity jeans and more comfortable waistlines, go ahead and buy nursing bras that fit your comfortably with room to grow. Even though you will not be nursing anytime soon, they will fit you at some point in your nursing timeline.

There are a lot of different styles and price ranges in maternity nursing bras on the market today, so it can be overwhelming for first time moms to know where to start in their search. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping:

1) Maternity nursing bras should have plenty of stretch and fit comfortably. When you are nursing, your breast size can fluctuate up to a full cup size over the course of the day. Some bras are designed to fit several cup sizes to help account for this ongoing change. Bras that fit too tight can lead to plugged ducts and breast infections called mastitis.

2) Maternity nursing bras should provide support from under the breast when the cup is open for nursing. This makes feeding easier and more comfortable as well as more discreet. It also makes re-closing the bra an easier task.

3) Avoid underwires for your first nursing bra. In the first few weeks your breast tissue is expanding very rapidly. Underwires can cut into milk producing tissue which can obstruct and clog the milk ducts and lead to infection. Once your milk supply settles down after the first month or two of nursing, you may be just fine with a properly fitted underwire bra, but it is usually better to wait past the early weeks.

4) You only need to start out with 3-4 maternity nursing bras for the first few weeks: one to wear, one to laundry, and one or two in the drawer. It's best to buy only one of a particular style to test it out to see how much you really like it. It you do like it, buy more of that style, maybe in different colors to keep it interesting. However, you do not want to buy too many maternity nursing bras in the early weeks because your size is subject to change and you may find your cup size has gone down after a month or so when your milk supply has settled down.

5) Larger busted women need maternity nursing bras with better support. Also, if you are larger busted you may be more comfortable wearing a sleep or light support nursing bra at night. When you are nursing, not only are your breasts larger, they are also heavier. So, support becomes very important for comfort and to reduce permanent sagging.

6) During pregnancy your ribcage can expand several inches, affecting your bra band sizing. After you have your baby, your rib cage will gradually return to its pre-pregnancy size even though your cup size will remain larger if you are nursing. When you are fitting yourself for a maternity nursing bra during the last months or pregnancy or soon after you have your baby, look for adjustable hooks on your bra band in the back. You will want to start out comfortably on the tightest setting so that your bra will continue to fit you as your rib cage goes down in size you and you tighten your band setting.

If you purchase a bra online or through a catalogue, follow the retailer's instructions for measuring for the correct size. Bra sizes can vary a bit from brand to brand, so it's important to purchase a bra that fits you correctly rather than one that is the size you think you should be. Most of all, do not wear a bra that is too tight in the cups or under the arm which could lead to clogged ducts. There are many fashionable maternity nursing bras on the market today, but for starters go for comfort.

Maternity Dress: Celebrity Maternity Fashion

2008-12-09T00:25:00.013+08:00

For past generations, becoming pregnant meant that women were condemned to 9 months of baggy, shapeless clothing choices. Maternity clothing which wasn't comfortable or appealing. Today it is different though; wider ranges of maternity clothing are available. Celebrities and well known personalities, wearing the most fashionable maternity wear have helped to broaden our options in modern maternity wear. This of course, helps to increase the success and range in maternity wear stores throughout the world.

Angelina Jolie’s maternity style

In turn, the larger demand for greater choices in modern maternity wear dictates that the stores will have better selections available. Higher disposable income amongst pregnant women also helps. There are many more attractive and comfortable options available today.

Variety in Women's Clothing
Especially over the last 5 years or so, the public has seen many more pregnant celebrities. This has generated more interest in how they present themselves and what they are wearing. Pregnancy has become a fashionable time in many celebrities' lives, translating to more interest and demand for this clothing in the general public.

Hot mama Jennifer Lopez delivered another fashion forward moment when she wore this white maternity dress to the “Movie Rocks” event in Hollywood last winter. In the 2009 Christo collection, a similar dress is a definate yes for just about any bride. As Lopez shows, the Christo gown is a great option for a silhouette that any pregnant bride can pull off with glamour.

This demand has flowed on to department, specialty and discount stores as women demand more flattering and better fitting maternity wear. Retailers take their cues on how women spend their money; this explains the greater maternity clothing ranges on display and the ever growing new lines in maternity wear.

Jessica Alba has been rocking the maternity wear ever so stylishly. We've really enjoyed watching this beautiful actress make good use of all maternity fashion has to offer -- her look is so effortless!

Lifestyle changes such as women choosing to have their pregnancies later in life, perhaps after they have built a career have also become reason for changes in the maternity clothing available today. The same applies to many celebrities, who leave child rearing until later in life so they can establish a stable and financially secure life.

Jessica Alba's latest flick, The Eye, didn't do so hot at the box office last weekend, but we love the style she's been sporting on her publicity tour. Instead of trying to minimize her baby bump with layers of clothing or over-accessorizing (ahem, Rachel Roy), Jess's dresses are all looks we could picture her wearing regardless or being pregnant. We especially love her navy blue Narciso Rodriguez dress she wore.

However, there are differences between what an average family and celebrities can afford, even in maternity clothing. Compared to say, five years ago the choices in maternity clothing, often driven by what pregnant celebrities wear are definitely broader.
It is now much simpler to find appealing, flattering maternity clothing online. You can find versions of celebrity maternity fashions alongside more basic lines; this has helped online sales grow immensely. Also, you will find that by shopping online you have access to much wider clothing options than you would by walking into any clothing store.

Maternity Dress: Maternity Swimsuit

2008-12-08T00:03:00.000+08:00

If you plan on doing any swimming while pregnant or going to beach vacation destinations, one item you will need for sure is a maternity swimsuit. Although you may be able to get away with some non-maternity clothes such as empire tops or even squeeze into your husbands jeans for your regular wardrobe, you certainly don't want to try and fit into your pre-pregnancy bathing suit or even think of wearing your husband's swimsuit! Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping for a maternity swimsuit:

1) If you are buying your maternity swimsuit bathing suit early in your pregnancy, then buy a little bigger than you need. Although you don't want your suit to fall off or sag in the water and you certainly do want bust support, just remember that a tight fit will only get tighter as you progress in your pregnancy.

2) Buy a maternity swimsuit with plenty of stretch - especially where you need it in the belly, bust and hips. A lot of women forget that their bust size will increase, so you need a suit that will have enough room and support in the bust. Also, look for suits, such as styles by Prego Maternity, that are 20% Lycra, which will allow the maximum stretch.

3) If you are bigger in the hips, look for side tie options. Many women are not the same size from top to bottom, so if this is the case with your pregnancy figure, look for a suit with adjustable side ties for the hips. Many Hipkinis and Tankinis have this option for the bottom bikini.

4) If you plan on doing serious lap swimming, buy a one piece suit. Although strapless minis and cute babydoll suits can look great on the beach, these are not the best suits to wear in the pool for lap swimming. The Empire Tank by Prego Maternity is a super supportive and slick one piece suit that is a great option for lap swimming or water aerobics. Many women who plan on spending a lot of time at the pool or beach buy two suits - one for fashion and one for real swimming.

5) If you are bigger in the bust, make sure you get a maternity swimsuit with adequate bust support. Look for suits that have wider shoulder straps that are adjustable. Suits that come up higher in the back or even have an added bra-like clip support in the back, will give you more support in the bust. If you already are bigger in the bust, remember that you may increase up to a full cup size or more when pregnant. Also, look for suits that have some slight padding in the bust that will give you smoother shape and not show through when wet.

6) Don't forget about swimsuit accessories. Maternity swimsuit cover-ups are an easy item to throw on over your maternity swimsuit when going to and from the beach and pool and can even double as great loungewear. Maternal America makes a number of great style swimsuit cover-ups and tunics as well as Board Shorts that can be worn over Bikini Bottoms.

Finally, don't forget to try on your suit before you grab it for a vacation. Your pregnancy body changes at a rapid rate, so a suit that fit you perfectly 2 months ago, may suddenly be too small for you when you arrive at your vacation destination. Also allow enough time to shop for a maternity swimsuit before a trip because many maternity stores do not stock maternity swimsuits year round and it may take over a week to get one shipped to you when buying online. Also, you want to make sure you like your purchase when buying online, so allow time in case you need to exchange for another style or size.

Most of all do not let the task of maternity swimsuit shopping keep you from the pool or beach. Once you find the suit that is perfect for your body and style, you will feel confident wearing it. Enjoy the water!

Maternity Dress: 2009 Maternity Hair Style Tips

2008-12-07T15:07:00.008+08:00

Hair can be unruly any time, but when you're pregnant it can really be an unnecessary source of anxiety. Get some advice from the hair stylist or professional in the City on the best cuts and styles for expectant and new moms.
Maternity Hair Style Tips: Don't go drastic. At the moment when your body is in a constant state of flux, you may be tempted to exercise control over some part of your life. For example: getting a major haircut. Many pregnant women wants to get a new, easy look, and often want to cut their hair off. An recommends that they keep their locks longer, softer, and never make a drastic change — as they'll most likely regret it later.

Keep in mind that having shorter hair doesn't always mean that it will be easy or less time-consuming to style. It's a good idea to stay within a range of length and shape that you're already comfortable with.

Maternity Hair Style Tips: Consider your new face shape. Many women find that their faces get fuller during pregnancy and should consider that when getting a new cut. It's best to avoid blunt bangs and lots of layers because they only accentuate a heavier face. Wearing hair straight, at shoulder length or a little longer, can help create the illusion of a slender face.

Maternity Hair Style Tips: Conquer curls without chemicals. If your hair isn't naturally straight and you have the time and energy for heat styling, go for it. Prep damp hair by combing through a dollop of straightening balm. Then blow dry with a round, natural-bristle brush, being careful to point the nozzle down the hair shaft, to ensure a smooth finish. If you prefer to keep your curls intact, just run a light-hold gel through towel-dried hair to keep frizzies in check.

Maternity Hair Style Tips: Go low-maintenance. Once you've given birth you probably won't have much free time, let alone 15 minutes to wash your hair and primp. This is reason enough to get a cut that you don't have to style every day. Few women have the time to come in for regular cuts when they're toting a baby, so she recommends longer styles as being easier to maintain.

Hair that can be pulled back is best. This is especially true when your baby is grabbing anything she can get her hands on. Good news — ponytails are chic and practical. Slick hair back into a low ponytail with a leather cord or ribbon wrapped around the elastic for an updated look.

Maternity Hair Style Tips: Other timesaving tips:
Sprinkle a dry shampoo or hair powder on roots in between washings.
Look for two-in-one styling aids.
Skip the blow dryer.
Braid wet hair in the morning and by the time you take it out in the evening you'll have sexy waves.
Invest in a few pretty barrettes or ponytail holders for a more polished take on a quick French twist or ponytail.

Designers have recognized the demand for stylish maternity lines and they've fit the bill with stylish cuts, flattering fits, and the latest styles of the season. Looking this good during pregnancy can come with a hefty price tag though; the key is moderation. Outfitting your new maternity wardrobe with the latest trend isn't always a good idea, but accessorizing with it is.

There is also the question of expense, since specially designed maternity dress for any occasion cost more than ordinary casual clothes.
