I bought more maternity-labeled clothes for my first and second pregnancy. Less actually for my second pregnancy -- because I got smarter.
Some non maternity clothes are loose and long enough to cover the big bump. Maxi dresses, empire waist dresses or tops and tunics are some styles that if loose enough can be used during pregnancy.
Exhibit 1:
Maternity blouse from jcpenney maternity collection. It has a tie option at the back to give it more shape.
JCPenney maternity top // target maternity pants // Franco Sarto wedge heels
Exhibit 2:
Non maternity top from j. Crew. I'm usually a 2/4. So I just went a size up. The straps are long. But easy enough to fix with my sewing skills. Good thing the bust area has some cinching. Otherwise I think size 6 is way too big.
J. Crew Cami in ripe kiwi // target maternity pants // Bellini wedge sandals via zulily
It worked well during second trimester. It's threatening to be a cropped top now that I'm on my last 12 weeks.
I'll feature more styles on how I dressed the bump. Stay tuned.
