If you’ve recently given birth and think that all breastfeeding clothes were dull, and that you’d have to wear a tent for the next year or so, think again!
Actor Hilary Duff was spotted recently out and about in LA with new son Luca, embracing her curves in tight-fitting denim jeans in appropriately coloured baby blue, offered a classic example of how a new mum can look fantastic.
A simple white T-shirt completed the look, along with a pair of super-cool sneakers. The casual look was glammed up thanks to diamond ear studs and her nails, painted bright red.
Duff welcomed her firstborn son back in the spring, and has been quite public about her battle to get her pre-pregnancy body back. And she has admitted that she is not quite there yet.
She said: “I’m working hard and doing everything I can to lose weight the right way. I’m breast-feeding, so you have to be careful and can’t do anything too dramatic.”
Hilary also tweeted the other weekend about how pleased she was to be able to spend a Saturday night alone with her new baby to enjoy some precious mother and son bonding time together.
If you’re a new mum and feel like glamming up, the Internet makes a good starting point at a time when you may be less able or willing to get to the shops than previously. You’ll find a range of great maternity and nursing wear in stunning designs.

Maternity Clothes that make Pregnancy Fashionable
Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life and it will make your body change in a variety of ways. Most women will still want to look and feel attractive while these changes are occurring. Thanks to the excellent selection of maternity wear that is available, there’s no reason why a women can’t look as fashionable as ever during her pregnancy.
The first step to looking great in your maternity wear is to buy clothes in the correct size. Sizing in maternity wear is generous, so you should probably start by wearing maternity clothes that are in the size you would normally wear. They are cut to accommodate growth around the breasts and abdomen, so your usual size should fit perfectly.
When trying on clothes, make sure that they don’t restrict you around those areas. While some maternity clothes may look fashionable, they are primarily designed for comfort. They are designed to stay loose and flowing, without looking like they swamp the woman. Choosing clothes that are made from quality fabrics will make you look stylish without you even having to try. Natural materials are best because they will allow your skin to breathe.
In the past, jeans would have been a no-go during pregnancy, but nowadays there’s a huge range of maternity jeans available. Some are designed to sit underneath your expanding belly, while others contain elasticated panels to accommodate the growth. Either way, they will ensure that you remain fashionable yet comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

Make the most of your pregnancy curves
There’s nothing quite like watching your body change during pregnancy.
It’s a miracle of nature and will leave you with more curves that you
ever imagined, so why hide them away? You want to make the most of your
pregnancy curves and flaunt your bump in the best way possible, and with
the right kind of maternity clothes you’ll easily be able to achieve
the desired results.
Step out in style with clothes that work
It’s all about choosing clothes that flatter your figure, and ideally you’ll want those that can adapt to your changing body so you can keep your stylish edge throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Jersey dresses, for example, are ideal—they’re comfortable and offer the perfect fit, hugging your bump and draping in just the right way, but the choices don’t stop there. You’ll be able to find clothes to suit any occasion necessary, and at this time of year you can’t go wrong with a few maternity tops and jumpers thrown into the mix.
But, perhaps the best thing about a lot of maternity clothes is that they can effortlessly transform into nursing clothes once the baby arrives. They can be worn both during and after your pregnancy with many tops (for example) offering easy nursing access with cleverly concealed panels and functional designs, whilst the right kind of material can grow with your bump whilst flattering your post-pregnancy tummy when the time comes. Your curves will be hugged from every angle, giving you the comfort you need and the look you want, because there’s nothing better than being able to blossom with clothes that are perfect for your needs.
Follow in the footsteps of celebs
Celebs know all about dressing their bump—just look at the likes of Beyoncé, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum and Victoria Beckham. All of them effortlessly stylish ladies who managed to retain their fashion status during their pregnancies, they went for clothes that flattered their curves rather than hid. It’s all about dressing for your shape and making the most of what you’ve got, so go for clothes that let you bloom and you really can’t go wrong.
Get the clothes you’re looking for
Here at Bella Mama we know how important it is to have clothing that hugs your pregnancy curves in all the right places, and that’s why we offer an exquisite range of maternity and nursing clothes that are sure to do just that. Offering everything from stunning maternity dresses to practical yet pretty tops we’ve got the products you need to update your pregnancy wardrobe with ease, seeing you through these 9 months and beyond.
With the right clothing you’ll really be able to make the most of your curves, and why wouldn’t you want to? Gone are the days of having to cover the bump up—these days it’s all about flaunting it in clothes that are chic and stylish, so be proud of your changing body and flaunt your beautiful pregnancy curves in style.
