Lisa Haydon Shows You How to Dress Your Bump Without Investing in Maternity Dresses
Presents
Dresses fitted on top with wiggly room below, jumpsuits and knitted dresses that grow with your bump are basics that you can style and wear for years, beyond your pregnancy
Invest in body hugging stretchy dresses
Lisa put up pictures of her on Instagram in a green, ribbed and stretchable bodycon dress. She has mainly worn stuff that will work with and without a bump to ensure everything is usable long term.
Look for dresses in relaxed fit
The short white, easy breezy dress from Zara that Lisa wore can be styled with a waist cinching belt after the baby is out.
Fitted on top, roomy below
It’s a good idea to get dresses that are fitted up top for definition but have a bit of wiggle room below to comfortably let your bump breathe. Smocked dresses work well or something like Lisa’s black dress is just perfect.
Skip maternity swimsuits
Instead of investing in a maternity swimsuit that would have no use for you later on, get a string bikini like Lisa’s. It's adjustable and works well when the bump is growing.
Look the jumpsuits way
It's easy to get into a jumpsuit and you don't even have to bother about what to pair it with. Get two sizes bigger than yours, which will have room for the growing belly.
