Family Style
Finding a comfortable maternity dress that is cute enough that you’d wear it even if you weren’t pregnant can be the hardest thing about being pregnant. (Well, maybe not the hardest.) Sometimes searching all your favorite shops leaves you empty-handed, but fear not. here are 12 great dresses, and several are less than $50.
If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know how difficult it is to find cute maternity clothes. Even the old standbys (you know, the chain stores where you shop when you’re NOT pregnant) don’t always cut it and somehow you’re still left with an empty shopping cart because you just can’t bear purchasing another plain, stretchy tee-shirt. Today, we are thrilled beyond measure to introduce you to the most stylish maternity line we’ve ever seen. It’s straight out of the UK (which explains its elusiveness), and just recently made available in the US. Time to celebrate!
In addition to scouting out the coolest stuff for kids and parents on Family Style, I’ve also been featuring must-have products and fashion for pregnant women over at our Being Pregnant blog. And since I know some of you are pregnant/soon-to-be pregnant, I had to share this amazing opportunity.

Earlier today we featured the best maternity sales going on this week, ranging from nursing bras to work-friendly dresses, but we actually have more maternity wear sales to tell you about.
There’s more on your mind than just finding something cute to put over that belly, like: How do you keep from letting your sense of style slip, especially if you can’t afford designer maternity clothes? How do you care for your newly sensitive skin, especially when it comes to sun protection and acne treatments? Where can you find a fashionable diaper bag that works at the office, the playground and an evening out?
Gilt Groupe is expanding their maternity sales beyond clothes to incorporate everything else an expectant mom needs: safe skin care, a roomy diaper bag and attention-stealing jewelry. Oh, and maybe some chocolate too.

I am the woman who never bought maternity clothes. I had maybe two pairs of maternity jeans as a fall-back, but other than that I wore forgiving shapes and extended my already-owned jeans with elastic hair ties. I just couldn’t see the point in spending money on clothes that I would wear for mere months of my life.
So just when I thought my maternity wear issues were over, I remember coming home from the hospital, looking in my closet and realizing that 80% of my wardrobe was unwearable for breastfeeding — for (gasp!) another year!
Regardless, I fell back on my two main maternity wear mantras:
1) Don’t spend money on something you won’t wear for years; and
2) Never compromise your style.
Of course it isn’t always easy to marry the two, so here are basic guidelines for an economically smart and style-savvy maternity nursing wardrobe:

While pregnant this time, I fell for the stripe shirt trend. I would wear one of the three that I own with skinny jeans and boots or flats pretty much every day for the last few months of my pregnancy. But at first I second guessed myself– Don’t horizontal stripes make you look bigger? Personally, I think it’s one of those fashion myths like you shouldn’t wear black and navy together (who made up these “rules” anyway??). So yesterday while reading my co-blogger Karen’s sailor stripe report I got to thinking that maybe many of you out there who are pregnant think the same. My feeling is that once you’re noticeably pregnant, embrace the stripes! Check out this pic of Jenna Elfman left. She looks fantastic! There’s a whole bunch at Pea in the Pod but I found a couple others as well. Click to see them…
