Be Kind to Big Boobs

Heather Kuldell — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:02:00 GMT

For a culture as obsessed with big boobs as ours, it's surprisingly hard to find properly fitting bras once you get over a D or so. And if you thought the pregnancy boobs were big, wait till the milk kicks in: You'll be searching for cup sizes that were previously inconceivable. DDD?! G?! Yowsa.

Droolicious has given some love to Bravado before, but with the impending warm weather, you should know about the Essential Nursing Bra Tank ($45). Available in six colors, these tanks feature a built-in, full-support bra with nursing clips. And full support means you retain a natural shape, not the uniboob shelf bras can create. Tanks are available in cup sizes from B/C to F/G and band sizes 34 through 40. The flexible cotton and spandex blend and adjustable straps help accommodate changing shapes, which yours will continue to do for while. (But don't worry, at this point, it can mean shrinking.)

Freaky, Freaky Fetus Shirt

AmandaHill — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:00:00 GMT

I have a friend that is terrified of the word 'fetus'. She shudders and runs when she hears it. So really, I can only imagine what she would do if she saw this Maternity wear fetus shirt. It is a strange combination of cute and freaky. But I like it.

I'm not sure why, but fetus or not, I really like this Maternity shirt. It's great to spice of the maternity solid shirts with something interesting. Click on over to the Phipps Art Etsy Shop to check it out.

Expecting? Don't Skimp on Sleepwear

Cathy Hale — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:00:00 GMT

When you're preparing for a new baby, it seems like there are tons of things to buy. Sometimes in an effort to save some dough, new moms skimp on things for themselves, like sleepwear. Take it from a mom who knows, if there's anything that brings your life some extra comfort during those last weeks of pregnancy and first weeks of motherhood (and nursing), it's nice sleepwear.

This beautiful Black Lotus Nursing Chemise by Belabumbum is sexy, functional and comfortable. The small lace details are just enough to make you feel feminine, yet not too frilly for your lifestyle. The straps are adjustable and there are nursing clips above each bra cup. Treat yourself. You deserve it! Retails at Tummy Style for $59.

Editor Picks: Maternity – Old Navy & Sweepstakes

editors — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:32:00 GMT

There comes a time in pregnancy where one gets really, really sick of maternity clothes. I’m just about there yet my belly still grows. So I hit my local Old Navy for some staples like this black layering tee for only $12.50. While this may seem like the most boring editor pick, like, ever, it’s quite liberating. Almost as liberating as knowing my body will be my own again very soon. Almost. I brought it home and went crazy trying it on with a smattering of my pre-pregnancy sweaters, jackets and other cute tops that heretofore were stuffed under the XL items in my wardrobe. So yippee plain, black cotton tee! You’ve made me free again.

Bonus – if you’re already thinking ahead and wondering how you’re going to afford yet another size of clothing in the post-pregnancy but pre-normal body size, enter Old Navy’s sweepstakes to win a $1,000 shopping spree here. That’s a lot of cotton tees and denim to mix and match. - April Peveteaux

First Look: Ritmo Prenatal Sound System

Nicole Feliciano — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 21:34:00 GMT

Want to get your kid hooked on Radiohead early? Try this prenatal music system.

Type A parents have been putting iPod buds on mom’s belly for years. The thought is that early exposure to Mozart will make the fetus smarter and the newborn will have an early appreciation for the arts. The Ritmo ($99.99) take the concept a step further.

This is a stereo belt for pregnant women. According to the marketing materials: “Babies exposed to prenatal music and sound show superior mental abilities and coordination.” If you agree and you’re always up on the latest musical gadgets you won’t want to miss out on this chance to start in utreo Music 101. Simply hook up your iPod to the belt and start your playlist. Mom can be walking, shopping, and educating all at the same time--the belt wraps the Mom-to-be’s belly with tunes. Ritmo’s speakers control the sound level so you won’t blast baby’s eardrums.

The Nuvo group will offer the prenatal belt in January of 2009.

Star Mama: Jennifer Garner Has Got Good Jeans

SunnyChanel — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:04:00 GMT

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was totally upset when my blossoming belly outgrew my favorite pair of jeans. The demin pair in question were by J Brand Jeans. Simple, clean cut and great fitting …once. Had I known there were J Brand maternity jeans, I wouldn’t have had to shed any tears or try to use a rubber band to extend my beloved jeans fly in order to get a couple more days, weeks or maybe even a month of wear out of them.

Here Jennifer Garner wears a pair of J Brands Love Story jeans, the ones I wish I knew about. They’re flattering, comfortable and sturdy. And really that’s all you need when knocked up. Oh and lots of sleep. That helps to. Sadly, they ain’t cheap. But if you dare you can get them here for $198.

Star Mama: Jennifer Garner Looks Good and Smells Good

SunnyChanel — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Taking a big dreamy whiff of basil, expectant mother Jennifer Gardner makes some careful decisions at a Los Angeles farmer’s market. She stepped out for her errands wearing a body hugging Cadeau Maternity Cowl Neck Sweater Dress that is available at Nordstom’s ($148). The dress is a soft knit blend that will expand with you as your belly grows, which when knocked up is a must. Garner must be a big fan of Cadeau , she was photographed last week wearing a purple maternity sweater from the same line. If you want to become a fan too, you can check out this dress and more here.

Big Deal: Isabella Oliver Sale

Erin Behan — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:02:00 GMT

Another favorite, the denim swing dress, is marked down 50 percent for a new price of $84.

Sale: HomeMummy Maternity Leggings

alibaba — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:26:00 GMT

It is darn cold outside this week. It’s what-the-heck-is-going-on-here-on-the-east-coast kind of cold. The greatest luxury on a cold morning is simply being able to lounge around and not have to get dressed up to leave the house. For mommies-to-be who are suddenly in need of layering options considering the brisk weather, enter the HomeMummy collection by HomeBody, a UK design shop. The line (a celeb favorite – check out Naomi Watts recently wearing their cowl-neck sweater dress) intends to keep pregnant fashionistas on trend. Right now their stretchy maternity leggings are on sale at Saks. Perhaps not a terrible idea to stock up.

Available on Saks.com for $54 plus tax while the sale lasts, available in large and extra large.

Pregnant? A Sexy but Sweet Costume

Erin Behan — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:26:00 GMT

Maybe it's just that this Halloween costume model is way hotter than the norm, but I think this maternity fairy costume is worth the money if you've got a cool party to go to and you want to show off that bump. It comes with the dressed, trimmed in ribbon and fabric flowers, wings and a headpiece. And it's just $38.97 at Costume Discounters. If you're more into the pregnant sexy devil ($32.97), there's that one, too.

Star Mama: Ashlee Simpson Dresses for Two or Three?

SunnyChanel — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:36:00 GMT

Sometimes you just need a dress big enough to fit you plus one or two kids. This Sunday, Ashlee Simpson wore a roomy black formal gown to the MTV Video Music Awards with her size (and a blabber mouth “friend”) speculating that she’s carrying not one but two Wentz/Simpson buns in her oven.

One thing about carrying around a being or two in your body is that you tend to be a wee bit clumsier with that added girth messing with your equilibrium. Personally, I wouldn’t go for a gown with a voluminous train that could lead to some awkward and painful stumbles. So, I won’t, for your safety, suggest something that dangerous, yeah…I care. Instead you can steal Ashlee’s look with this Matte Jersey long black evening gown from Pea in the Pod ($325).

Star Mama: Is Eva Longoria wearing a Maternity Top? Is There A Bun in the Oven?

SunnyChanel — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:22:00 GMT

There’s been a whole lot of speculation in gossip land (and on our own Famecrawler) that Desperate Housewives hottie Eva Longoria might have a bun in the over, or maybe she just ate a really big lunch.

Personally, I totally think she’s knocked up and that she has a baby hiding underneath an oversized cami like the Baltimore Silk Chiffon Top by Rory Beca ($280 from Neiman Marcus). Or maybe she should just graduate, own it, and bite the maternity clothing bullet with this sleeveless shirt available on sale from Pea in the Pod for $39.99 (was $145). Hey, even a big star likes a bargain!

Angelina Jolie Vs Jen Garner– Who REALLY Wore it Best

SunnyChanel — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:40:00 GMT

Famecrawler Sassy Smith brought up the age old question of Who Wore It Best in regards to the popular Gerard Darel maxi dress that both Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Garner wore during their pregnancies.

Zahara! Yes, Angelina daughter, on a day out with Dad, wore her own mini-maxi Gerard Darel dress, and blew away Mom and Jen in looking stylish, cute and not as hippy-ish as the grown ups. Let’s hear it for the kids!

You can get the adult version of the dress here (in a different print) for $320 EURO…you do the math but I’ll warn you that it adds up to expensive.
