Maternity Dress for Office Wear

For the first trimester of your pregnancy you will be able to make do with your regular office wear. Looking for a maternity dress yet does not come into play. If you do feel a bit of tightening, then you can leave the top button of you skirt or pant undone and cover it up by leaving your top untucked. Another thing you can do is loop a rubber band through the button hole and use this to hold your button in place. It will give you a feel needed inches.

The next stage of pregnancy is when you are not truly showing, but you know that you have put on weight and your clothes no longer fit you. Invest in belly bands that hold pants or skirts up even if unzipped. A good maternity dress at this time would be anything that is made of a slightly stretchy material - yoga pants in thick materials, low rise pants that sit below your navel and skirts or pants that come with tummy bands.

Your maternity dress can also be souped up with sweaters, cardigans, tunice, your husband's shirts and leggings. Each of these make for a great maternity dress when you are in the transitional period and are yet to have shared the news with your colleagues. Choose from fabrics that are non-binding like jersey material and clothes made of cotton, some knits and some viscose. Any material that stretches is good. These clothes also double up during the time you take to lose all the baby weight that you have accumulated.

If your work environment demands formal wear, then have a few key pieces in shades that are complimentary will help you have a good maternity dress to wear to office each day. Invest in a pant, skirt, tunic, shirt and a top. Each of these can be mixed and matched to create the kind of maternity dress you would be comfortable in the entire day. With the right kind of accessories, you will have a different look each day.

Add to these a few non-maternity dress items and you will be able to get a few more outfit combinations from them. These could be sweaters or even baggy tops. Of course, before you get into any of these, first knock the doors of friends and relatives who may have a maternity dress or two to give you. You will save significantly by doing this.
