Discover Budget Maternity Outfits For Summer

In the twentieth century, the ready-to-wear wedding dresses industry strove to cater more to women by adapting current fashions to pregnancy. When catalogs finally identify maternity fashions (about 1910), they still refrain from depicting the pregnant form, revealing old discomfort with the issue but suggesting that the styles were the same as others of the time, albeit with specialized construction. Often this meant a series of fasteners at the sides, so that the dress need not be any larger than necessary in the earlier stages of pregnancy.

Thanks for posting this stuff. My husband and I are currently talking a lot about babies (Which is totally exciting! and scary(?) and exciting!), so it's great to get some fashion ideas for down the road. I second Alloy Apparel!

These might not get you through your entire pregnancy unless you perhaps buy a size up and they definitely need some stretch to work. To define your bump more, use a skinny belt that fits well.

I made like 8 of them - haha! you look darling. i hope those fit you to the end, but you may need to thrift some plus-size gear in those last coupla months. that belly is gonna be massive with lovely ladies.

Don't forget to accessorize!

Whether you're relaxing at home during your third trimester or dressing for success as a pregnant professional in your workplace - you deserve more than a 9-month fashion hiatus.
