Affordable Maternity Clothes: The Maternity Belly Band

by Ashley on February 9, 2010





I was first introduced to the Belly Band while living in France. Nine years ago, with my first pregnancy, the french women (always leading the world in fashion-even maternity wear!) were proud to show off their bellies blooming with life!

While I sported baggy American maternity wear, the french wore form-fitting shirts with belly-bands to compliment their growing figure.

The Maternity Belly Band Extends the Life of Your Wardrobe

The Belly Band was key to their wardrobe. Later, I bought one in the States and have loved its many benefits. It extends the life of your wardrobe, especially in the later months of pregnancy.

It can help you achieve that form fitted look or simply lengthen the shirt you’re wearing.

  • Wear it under your normal shirts

It simply looks like you have another layer underneath.

  • Wear it over your shirts

Being over 8 months pregnant, I was beginning to feel I was even outgrowing my maternity wear! The Belly Band helped keep my shirts down over my belly in a stylish way. No need to go out and buy more maternity wear for the later months.

  • Wear it over a two piece swim suit

Being pregnant through the summer, I wanted to extend the life of my bathing suit and not have to invest in a maternity swim suit (as cute as those can be!) I had a tank top and skirt swim suit. I simply added the belly band to cover the gap! It worked great in the water and saved me money!

  • Provides extra reinforcement over maternity waistbands
  • Wear it while nursing

Wear the belly band to keep your tummy covered when out in public.

Choose from a variety of colors. I bought neutral black because it goes with everything.

The simple addition of this stylish band helps you get the most out of your current wardrobe and adds to your maternity wardrobe too!
