Maternity Now & Later: Jersey Dress



Additional Now & Later ideas that stretch your budget as your belly swells and shrinks.

My recent acquisition in this category was Deletta's Camber Jersey dress.  I'm hoping hope that its myriad of twisting drapes continues to adorn my figure now and post-partum.

Below are a few more pliable patterns for your consideration:

A little embellishment without getting too fussy.

An elegant splurge, justified by future apparel opportunities.



A distinct styling opportunity with every wear, just rearrange stockings, jewelry, and shoes.

1 hundred 98 cents = your own maternity fashion look book cheat sheet.

  4. You look really cute pregnant. I loved my jersey bandeau top dresses from J Crew when I was pregnant. I would layer over with a cardigan and tie a cute printed sash over my belly and it was cute and oh so comfortable. The best part is that the dresses weren't maternity and I could wear after--by the way, the dress is convertible so it can be a short or long dress and skirt.

  6. Sarah,

    I got the cardigan from Anthropologie. (Remaining Lilies Cardigan, style #18498287) It's actually on sale now, though not available online. Check with your local Anthropologie and they may be able to find it for you.

  9. We surprisingly just found out we are expecting again! As we are very excited but we are not quite ready to tell anyone the news. I am only 8 weeks pregnant but already starting to have a baby bump. Do you have any suggestions on shirts that I could use to transition into the next trimester with out giving away our news? Would a look book or a virtual fashion session be better? Thanks for your help..and congratulations to you!

  10. Lady Natalie,

    You want your shits to have some sort of ruching, gathers, or ruffles near the abdomen area. This will help to disguise the building volume. As your pregnancy progresses you'll want additional length. For pregnancy specific needs I would suggest a shopping session over a look book since it will give you actionable items available in the short term over long term applicable theory. Feel free to contact me directly with more questions (reachel@cardiganempire.com)
