I like this dress because it does double duty. You can wear it as a maternity dress while pregnant, and then postpartum it’s also a nursing dress. I actually did wear a lot of my maternity clothes while I was on maternity leave for a few reasons. They were comfortable and they accommodated my waistline … Read More about Maternity Monday: Scallop Dress with Short Sleeves

When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law generously took me shopping for a few nice maternity pieces. Luckily, most of my maternity wardrobe came in the form of several black garbage bags stuffed to the brim with clothes that were passed around to a few different friends. For work though, I definitely needed some quality pieces, … Read More about Maternity Monday: Secret Fit Belly Straight Leg Suiting Pants 

I inherited a few of these tank tops from my sister-in-law when she passed along her maternity clothing stash, and I highly recommend grabbing a few during the sale at Gap. They’re soft and long and come in all the basic colors. When I started showing, I used them underneath my non-maternity tops to extend … Read More about Maternity Monday: Pure Body Tank

I had two weddings to attend while I was pregnant and I bought this dress to wear to both of them. My pregnant friend saw me in the dress and bought it herself as well. The neckline and the lace sleeves are very flattering, you can wear a regular bra with it, and it’s obviously … Read More about Maternity Monday: Lace A-Line Dress

Luckily, in my first trimester I didn’t get morning sickness too badly — but I was definitely queasy on more mornings than not. Unluckily, I had to commute every morning in very crowded conditions. The smells, the heat, the crowds, the swaying … it’s enough to make me nauseated on a regular, non-pregnant day. I … Read More about Maternity Monday: Preggie Pop Drops

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I think I wore almost all of my regular blazers until I was about 38 or 39 weeks pregnant. But everybody gains weight differently during their pregnancies, and if on the off chance you really want to buy a maternity blazer, this one from Isabella Oliver (at … Read More about Maternity Monday: Isabella Oliver Maternity Blazer

We’ve featured a couple of Kimi and Kai dresses before — the brand has comfortable, affordable workwear like this stretch-jersey dress. It’s a pretty simple dress that you could dress up or down, it comes with a removable belt, and it’s machine washable. Pleats like this aren’t that common in maternity dresses, so it’s nice … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘Shannon’ Maternity Dress

This Old Navy dress, which is available only online, looks great. Note that the blue and red are almost all sold out (and the green is gone), but there are still a lot of sizes left in the black and “longstocking red” (which looks orange on my screen, at least). They’re all on sale right … Read More about Maternity Tuesday: Dolman-Sleeve Bodycon Dress

I always like Leota sheath dresses. This one, I’ll grant you, has an unusual print, but I kind of like it — it’s a fun, spring-y plaid and it’s a nice change from the typical maternity dresses. Sizes are XS–L, and the dress is machine washable (lay flat to dry). You can find it at … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘Nouveau’ Sheath Maternity Dress
