During the 9 months of pregnancy, many would-be mothers keep
repeating the same mistakes over and again. Here is a survival checklist
for all first-time mothers so that your pregnancy wardrobe is stylish
and comfortable without pinching your wallet. While shopping for your
pregnancy dresses, ensure that you keep this checklist handy.
All pregnancy dresses should be made from soft materials which are
natural. Avoid man-made materials like the plague. The material should
be almost cotton, preferably 90% and yet it should have some percent of
lycra – not more than 10% – so that it gives a little stretch during the
months when the tummy balloons and flab appears all over the body.
Check the lining of the clothes you buy. It should not irritate the
skin and select colors that are soothing to the eye. Opt for hues like
cream, off-white, navy, beige, black (just for its slimming effect), and
of course, pure white.
Baby pinks, light shades of blue, pastel colors are also choices with which you look good during these months.
Most would-be mothers make the classic mistake of “making do” with
their old clothes. They keep wearing their old clothes till it literally
falls apart at the seams. Avoid this at all costs. Do spend a bit of money and try to spruce up your appearance during
the pregnancy months. Not only will you look good, you will also feel
good about yourself if you have a good selection of pregnancy dresses.
