Breaking the mold of traditional maternity: clothes you WANT to wear

One of my favourite things about owning Bella Mama is searching for lovely new designers and exquisite new pieces which will delight pregnant and new mamas in the UK. I am so excited to introduce More of Me Maternity to the range at Bella Mama this season. Beautiful dresses, elegantly cut and designed especially to make you feel utterly gorgeous throughout your pregnancy and beyond! Perfect if you are looking for something for a special occasion, which is completely luxurious and a real treat for yourself.

I get so many requests for divine dresses which are suitable for pregnancy, which can be worn to black tie events or sophisticated weddings. These designer maternity dresses from More of Me Maternity fit the bill perfectly.

Teamed with divine shoes and beautiful jewellery, these gorgeous maternity dresses are amazingly flattering, and will make you feel exceptionally special. We're not the only ones in love with the line. Hollywood's hottest mamas and mamas-to-be have been spotted out and about looking chic in their More of Me fashions.

 


More of Me is a contemporary maternity line for women who love to shop and want to maintain their chic appearance during pregnancy. More of Me is for women who wish to avoid maternity clothes like the plague… often buying “regular clothes” many sizes too big and trying to make it work. You know who you are. Have no fear! More of Me is more of what you WANT to wear, not what you’re forced to buy to cover your expanding midsection.

This collection is designed to look like the most stylish non-maternity clothes, yet is crafted with luxurious, pregnancy-friendly fabrics and exceptional maternity fit. Because let’s face it, your body is a tad unrecognizable these days. More of Me clothes are made in the greatest city in the world, New York, and are designed with thought and attention to the lives and needs of fashionable moms-to-be from the East Coast to the West Coast and everywhere in between.

Designed by a fashion-conscious mom, More of Me has heard women say: “I know I’d have to give up sushi, soft cheese and dirty martinis, but these styles make me want to get pregnant for the clothes!” Now that’s quite a compliment.

Choose Nursing Tops for Comfort, Style and Practicality

There was once a time when shopping for nursing clothes meant you had to settle for unflattering and often uncomfortable tops and jumpers, but these days that’s no longer the case. The sheer range of options available means you’ll be comfortable and stylish whilst having the level of practicality you need during the nursing stage, offering the perfect solution to your every wardrobe requirement.

Nursing tops come in a whole range of styles and designs to suit every taste imaginable, and with cleverly-concealed nursing openings there’ll be no faffing about when it’s time to feed. Many can even be worn during your pregnancy – the comfortable nature and soft materials mean they can perfectly cocoon a bump, offering tops that are suitable for any number of pregnancy and nursing stages. And, the stylish nature of these nursing tops mean you won’t have to worry about feeling frumpy, ensuring you can look good and feel great even when nursing.

Of course, if you really want to find nursing clothes that can meet your expectations you’re going to need to find a supplier that can accommodate your needs, and that’s why you need to take a look around. We passionately believe that all expectant and new mums should be able to stay stylish and comfortable throughout their pregnancy and beyond, and with a fantastic range of nursing tops to choose from you’ll soon find plenty of options that will meet your requirements. Our top-quality clothes will flatter your figure and keep you looking fabulous, so take a look around for comfortable, stylish yet totally practical clothes that will be perfect for all your nursing needs.

The Bella Mama YouTube channel

Sometimes seeing a single picture of a piece of breastfeeding or maternity wear isn't enough. Of course, it does give you some information, but it can still be hard to figure out how it will look and feel on your own body. You need to see how it looks on a real person- and a real person who has recently had a new baby, too!

It can also be really handy to see how breastfeeding clothes are intended to work. We like to sell tops and dresses that are simple, not overcomplicated, but it's nice for our mamas to see the wares in action before deciding which looks the easiest to use when breastfeeding and the comfiest and best looking when not. That's why we decided to build our very own Bella Mama channel on YouTube. Now, anyone who is curious about how our products work can take a look.

Breastfeeding clothes are intended to be discreet. First time mamas can be a little reluctant to give them a try, not knowing exactly how they work and how well. By watching the videos, we hope to show anyone who is considering breastfeeding away from the home just how easy and problem-free it can be. 




Bella Mama isn't just a shop that sells maternity wear. We want to be a resource for new mums and encourage more happy, healthy breastfeeding across the country. The YouTube channel is just one of the ways we're trying to make breastfeeding easier, more fun, and more popular.

Rock the Celeb Look with Maternity Knitwear

Autumn is well and truly upon us. A chill is in the air which means it’s time to cosy up in jumpers, fleeces and cardigans, and these days you can find maternity clothes that will look chic and stylish whilst keeping you toasty warm – pregnant celebs everywhere are rocking the knitwear trend, and with plenty of options to choose from you’ll be able to do the same.

The right maternity wear will mean you can keep your bump snug and cosy whilst looking great at the same time, and with plenty of knitwear items to choose from you’ll be spoilt for choice. Think chunky knits, oversize yet flattering jumpers and v-neck sweaters to flatter your new figure, and when you team them with on-trend pencil skirts you’ll be giving your look a designer edge whilst keeping effortlessly comfortable. Jumpers no longer have to be relegated to the back of the wardrobe or only worn when you’re relaxing at home, because the right pieces can catapult you up the style stakes.

Just take a look at Jennifer Garner – she’s been seen rocking the knitwear trend on numerous occasions throughout her pregnancy, and you can achieve the same look by opting for stylish jumpers or by layering fitted tops and casual cardigans. With so many different maternity clothes to choose from you’ll be spoilt for choice and if you come to us you’re bound to find all the maternity wear you could need to keep you warm yet stylish during the winter months, so make sure to channel the celeb trend of maternity knitwear and you can’t go wrong.

Breastfeeding in winter

After the last couple of unusually long, cold, and snowy winters here in the UK, many of us aren't looking forward to the end of autumn and the beginning of the chilly season. This one is expected to be just as tough, with the snow starting even earlier this time around. The usual solution is to insulate the windows and bundle up in warm clothes, but that can make breastfeeding a little tricky.

Nobody likes to feel the wintery chill on bare skin, but those mums that really want to breastfeed don't have to suffer. With the right nursing clothes it is possible to stay snug and feed your little one at the same time. Naturally, we're here to help.

At Bella Mama, we believe breastfeeding should be made as easy and as comfortable as possible. That means seeking out the best and most innovative breastfeeding tops, dresses, bras, and more. If it's gorgeous, discreet, and well-designed we want to stock it for our wonderful mamas. And because our business is run by a mum, for mums, we understand exactly what makes good nursing clothes. There are stylish, functional choices to suit any and every new mother.

We stock a whole range of excellent breastfeeding tops that will let your baby feed without exposing more than necessary, stretching your clothing, or feeling awkward. They work just as well in winter as they do in summer, but it's even more important to have the right clothing when breastfeeding in the cold!
