Maternity Fashion: The Maxi Dress

Waking up and just throwing on whatever you feel inspired by is not as option when you're 8 months pregnant. I am just starting the eighth month of pregnancy (31 weeks) and while I've been doing alright with creatively dressing the bump, I am guessing I am about to have to get a lot more creative - the bigger she gets the fewer options I am left with. I am not a huge fan of maternity clothes (aside from maternity jeans and pants, which are a necessity in my eyes) so I've been trying to buy regular flowy tops and clothes that seem to stretch and expand with my belly.

The maxi dress is a perfect example of something you can buy this season from a "regular" store that will fit your pregnant belly and stretch with you as your bump grows.  This one, from Tart Collections, is not maternity, but works beautifully as a comfortable, stylish maternity dress. If you're pregnant this spring or summer, I would definitely recommend this dress.  It's stylish, comfortable, and easy to throw on in warm weather. It's a maternity fashion no brainer.

  2. I too didn't like maternity clothes. I just bought the basics and wore them out. Target has much cuter maternity clothes now.
