Maternity Clothes for Before, During and After Pregnancy
By michellehorton |
I think I may have found the most incredibly chic maternity clothes ever.
They aren’t cheap — or even affordable, I’d say — but this collection packs some serious value, considering you can wear them all before, during, and after your pregnancy.
So if you can’t stomach spending money on clothes that you’ll wear for mere months of your life (like me!), the high prices might be worth it. At least for the classic LBDs and fancy gowns that would cost a nice chunk of cash regardless of pregnancy. Unlike other dresses, you can wear these throughout your 40 weeks and beyond:

-
BEFORE: The Dinner Party Dress
This is one of the most expensive items from HATCH Collection, but you'll find just about any occasion to wear this sophisticated, breezy silk dress that flatters any silhouette.

DURING: Drawstring Pants
Have you ever seen a pair of comfy pants that looked so chic and put-together? That's because they're made from 100% silk — also known as 100% luxury.

AFTER: Drawstring Pants
These just might be the most perfect (post-bleeding) postpartum pants. Just throw them on with some red lipstick and flats, and it'll look like you actually tried to look stylish.

The Button Down
Although I might never spend this kind of cash on a top, this definitely is a closet staple that I can see living in — before, during, or after my pregnancy.

BEFORE: The Longsleeve Tee
I have a hard time spending this much on a jersey tee, but you'll most likely wear it more often than the majority of your wardrobe.

Especially because it expands so beautifully for a growing belly bump.
