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:
