And here you are, possibly standing in front of your wardrobe, wondering when your clothes will start feeling too snug. You might ask yourself, "Is it even worth buying new maternity wear?" With the cost of living crisis, budgeting is crucial. You look at your current wardrobe and think of the times ahead - attending a friend's wedding, going out for dinner, or simply being out and about during the next nine months. It's not just about clothes; it's about how you feel in them.

As a mum-to-be, investing in quality maternity wear ensures you feel comfortable and confident throughout your pregnancy and postpartum.

1. When is the right time to start buying maternity wear?

The journey into maternity wear is as unique as your pregnancy - it's different for everyone because everyone reacts differently. You may need more comfortable, roomier clothing around the second trimester; some women only get that in the third, and some want it from the get-go just to feel better about their changing bodies. Listen to YOUR body - when your regular clothes start to pinch or pull, it's time to explore maternity options that offer comfort and style - no compromises. It's a physical and emotional investment because you deserve to keep the elegance you walked in with!

2. How much should I spend on maternity clothes?

Investing in a few key pieces of high-quality maternity wear is investing in your comfort and confidence during pregnancy. Let us not sugarcoat it: pregnancy gets uncomfortable for many of us at one stage or another! Say goodbye to discomfort during pregnancy. Choose comfortable clothing that makes you feel your best. Quality pieces, designed with care and attention to detail, last longer and provide support and adaptability as your body changes. These pieces can often be worn post-pregnancy, offering versatility and long-term value.

3. Can maternity wear be both fashionable and functional?

Absolutely! For example, our elegant designs are a beautiful blend of fashion and functionality. Our collections feature adjustable waistbands, soft, stretchable fabrics, and designs that cater to prenatal and postnatal needs while keeping you at the forefront of maternity fashion. As we mentioned before, there are no compromises!

4. Do I really need to buy 'maternity'?

Whilst at first it's natural to want to simply upsize your wardrobe, maternity wear does more than just fit your growing bump. As well as your belly, your rib cage will expand and of course your bra size too. Choosing clothes that are tailored for your growing curves will enhance your overall pregnancy experience by providing comfort, supporting your changing body and boosting self-esteem. If your wardrobe is designed explicitly for pregnancy, it will help you to embrace this time confidently and gracefully, allowing you to be kind to yourself throughout this journey.

5. Do I need a separate nursing wardrobe?

Not necessarily. Many of our maternity designs are thoughtfully created to transition seamlessly into nursing wear. This approach to multifunctional clothing allows you to make a practical and stylish investment that lasts well beyond pregnancy.
