Ever wondered why some women look better during their pregnancy while others look bored as soon as they hit four months? Sometimes there are some uncontrollable physical factors such as black spots and swollen feet but in most cases it is the choice of maternity clothes that matters. Plus size mothers tend to be the most affected because they have a harder time shopping and worse, not many plus size women know which clothes suite them most during pregnancy. Just to save you the trouble, follow the guide below of clothes that will not let you down if your are a plus size mom-to-be.
Wear empire waist maternity tops
Tops with empire waists will always feel comfortable to be in and they suite any plus size woman. You can choose to wear a collared one or one with a V-shape without collars. You also have the option of wearing an empire waist top that flatters your big bust or shows off a bit of cleavage.
Choose pants that fit in your belly
Plus size maternity pants look better when they fit well around the tummy and are a bit loose at the hips because the body looks more balanced. Choose a maternity pant which is elastic at the tummy area for comfort.
Wear light flowing gowns without layers or a bubble design
The best gowns for an expectant plus size mother are ones with an empire waist and without too many layers beneath. Wearing bubble dresses or layered maternity dresses might end up making you look a lot more bigger. The gown should however not fit too close to your body- a slightly loose fit is okay.
Get a few custom made dresses to suite your body
The other option would be to have custom made maternity dresses. In this case everything will depend on your taste and of course your body. Go for designs that flatter you and that bring out the best of your body. It is advisable to have them with an elastic material around the waist/ tunny area if you are still in the first trimester of your pregnancy so that you will adjust them all through.
