Maternity Wear Sizing Guide


Always buy maternity wear in your pre-pregnancy size. Your expanding bump has been taken into account in the design, so you needn’t go up a size.

On our jeans and trousers, look out for clever jersey panels, expandable waists and deep stretch waistbands.

On our tops and dresses, choose from wrap-style, side-ruched, empire line or simply cut to fit your shoulders while flaring out over your bump. It is these hidden tricks which allow a well-designed piece of clothing to look great from early on in pregnancy right through to the end, as they grow and adapt with your changing shape.

    Tips
  • If you hate the feel of a waistband around your bump, choose below-the-bump and low-rise jeans or trousers.
  • Stylish dresses are an easy work wear option, and can be dressed up with heels and accessories or down with flats and leggings.
  • Mum’s to be feel the heat, so go for natural fabrics, like cotton, that allow your skin to breathe. Make use of layers so you can shed a pashmina or cardi when your temperature starts to rise.
  • Use your pre-pregnancy accessories to stamp your personality on any outfit.
  • Don’t be tempted to wear non-maternity dresses in large sizes. The front hemline will ride up, while the back sags.
  • Create a capsule wardrobe – a few single garments can create lots of different looks.
