Things You'll Need
Maternity Dresses
Maternity Leggings
Maternity Pants
Maternity Shorts
Maternity Tops
Steps
Step One -
Stock up on a few oversized T-shirts and blouses. Look for silhouettes that taper out from the armpit and chest, giving your belly room to move.
Step Two -
Build multiple outfits around a unitard. This great basic piece allows your belly to rest unencumbered and is versatile enough to pair with a blouse, T-shirt, sweater or even a babydoll dress.
Step Three -
Buy a pair of casual maternity pants. Look for khakis, jeans and leggings engineered with generous front panels and wide elastic bands.
Step Four -
Opt for simple T-shirt dresses cut in an A-line for spring and summer. Remember that as your belly grows, dresses and skirts will hike up in front.
Step Five -
Go for knit leggings and tunic sweaters in the winter. Ribbed knits in particular will stretch as you stretch, keeping you warm and comfortable.
Step Six -
Invest in a pair of overalls. You can wear them with just about any top, and their generously cut leg and midsection provide a roomy and comfortable casual option.
Tips & Warnings
Let your clothes stretch as you stretch. Buy styles that have elastic and spandex, or rayon/polyester combinations often referred to as jersey.
Look in the plus-size department of your local department store, in addition to maternity stores, to maximize your selection.
Borrow instead of buy. Your husband, older brother or male cousins may have a stash of T-shirts or button-down shirts that would fit perfectly into your new wardrobe.
Avoid any styles that cut into your belly. They'll eventually become uncomfortable and may cut off your circulation.
