Maternity Clothes Design Ideas 1.1

There are a number of maternity brands that specialize in transition wear. Japanese Weekend makes an extensive transition wear line called "During and After" or D&A, for short. All of Japanese Weekends' D&A tops, loungewear and dresses have nursing access. Most of the tops are long enough and have enough stretch to be worn through the first two trimesters of pregnancy and oftentimes up to your baby's delivery. Japanese Weekend's Nursing Loungewear Pajamas and Nightgown are made for both maternity and nursing.

Majamas is another brand that specializes in addressing the transition stage of a woman's body. Majamas was one of the premier brands for transition wear and built their entire line around comfortable nursing loungewear. One of their original nursing styles, The Softest Top, continues to be favorite among nursing women and is sold year after year. Majamas two popular nursing pajama styles are the MJ and Pajannaman which come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Their Sleepy Nursing Dress, which was originally designed as simply a nursing loungewear nightgown with a thicker material and bust support, has become so popular that is now marketed as nursing or maternity dress. Many women have worn this dress to more formal events such as weddings!

1 in the Oven is a new maternity and nursing brand that is also jumping successfully into the transition wear fashion scene. This Beverly Hills based brand has been touting some well deserved celebrity appeal with a recent basket full of purchases by newly pregnant Christina Aguilera. In addition to a wide selection of soft stretchy henleys tops and hoodies, 1 in the Oven has a bestselling Super Soft Ruched Fold Over Pant that is perfect for both maternity and transition wear. This pant is very similar to Majamas Softest Yoga Pant which is designed for post-partum wear without looking like maternity pants.

If you are hoping to increase the mileage on your pre-pregnancy wardrobe with pants, skirts and shorts that can't quit button or zip all the way, then the Bella Band is the perfect answer for you. This product is designed specifically to fashionably cover your belly when your current wardrobe cannot. Bella Bands are reasonably priced and come in a variety of colors and sizes. Bella Bands can comfortably serve the same purpose for your post-partum body as you try to shrink back into your pre-pregnancy wardrobe, but need some extra help for fit and comfort.

There are so many maternity brands now that are branching into creative nursing wear and transition wear bottoms, so there is no excuse for not finding comfortable fitting fashionable clothes for any stage of pregnancy or postpartum!

We researched maternity designers, read blogs and read as many user and consumer feedback forums as we could to try and find which maternity clothes designers are the best reviewed and worn by expecting moms. The main factors and concerns that we noted were pregnant moms were concerned about the comfort, fit, price and practicality of maternity clothes. These days there are a variety of beautiful and durable fabrics to last through 3 trimesters and 9 months or pregnancy. We see that many designers are now making maternity designs in such a style and design that they can also be worn after pregnancy.
