Keep Cool With Spring/Summer 2012 Maternity Wear

Pregnancy is a time when women should celebrate their bodies – even if they don’t always feel like it! It is not a reason to throw on any old baggy clothes, but a time when you should feel beautiful, sexy and attractive. There is no reason why a woman can’t continue to be fashionable and trendy while she is pregnant, particularly with our great ranges of maternity wear available. While being comfortable is one of the most important aspects of maternity clothes, there is no need to stop being stylish at the same time.

If your bump is going to be growing ever bigger this spring, then you want the most gorgeous maternity clothes out there. This season’s hottest trends continue the theme from last autumn/winter with colour blocking in solid, strong colours. Check out our fabulous maternity dresses which simply ooze style and class and are made from lovely soft fabrics that will keep you comfortable. A dress is one of the most comfortable items of clothing around, particularly with the summer months approaching, and every woman should have a couple in their wardrobe at least.

Here at Bella Mama, our maternity wear all comes from the leading designers in this field. Whether you’re looking for something casual for every day wear or a gorgeous dress for a special occasion, we have all the latest trends ready for you. Take a look at our spring/summer 2012 collection to go with the trends as your bump grows. The ‘tent’ look is gone!

Best Breastfeeding Dress for Simple Summer Dressing!

The sun has been shining in the UK this week, and it has been GORGEOUS! Our summery breastfeeding dresses have been flying off the shelves, and I've had lots of customers asking for my recommendation about the best breastfeeding dress for wearing in the sunshine.

My go-to dress for simple summer dressing has to be Milk's gorgeous breastfeeding sundress. We have stocked these nursing dresses since Milk's launch, and they have been a real sell-out hit with nursing mamas in the USA, and very popular at BellaMama too! When my friend Rachel needed a gorgeous nursing-friendly dress to wear for a big birthday summer party last year, I gave her one of these pretty dresses and she was delighted. She found the dress comfy, easy to nurse her one-month old daughter whilst wearing and very figure flattering too.

Milk's breastfeeding sundresses are always Summer best-sellers at BellaMama, and come in a wide range of colours so there really is something to suit every new mama. The pretty ruched smocking across the chest, the lettuce edged hem and the tummy flattering gathering at the empire line are very flattering to post-natal tummies and the nursing bra friendly wide straps are also appreciated! The nursing access is super simple, just lift up the smocked band then pull aside the inner layer. As there are no obvious openings, this nursing dress really doesn't look like a nursing dress! These sundresses look great on their own, but can easily be accessorised with a little cardigan if the weather is cooler.

The reviews on Milk's website show what a customer favourite this dress is:

This has become my go-to dress - so comfortable and the easy access the design provides makes this design one of my two favorites (along with the tiered ruffle nursing dress) for easy nursing. I also like having the pattern too as I am able to wear this dress without a bra for extreme comfort and ease of nursing. 


This is a wonderful dress! No one would ever guess it is a nursing dress. I love how discreetly I can nurse while wearing it. It is sooo comfortable! It covers the post-partum muffin top well, and I was also able to wear it throughout my entire pregnancy - very versatile!

Milk Sundress available from bellamama.co.uk in print, purple, green, teal, pink and classic black, £49.
