How to Wear Plus Size Maternity Clothes

Becoming pregnant is an exciting time in any woman's life. As your baby bump begins to grow, you start thinking about maternity clothes shopping. If you wear plus sizes, you want to find maternity wear that is both flattering to your figure and comfortable.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Shop at stores that stock plus size maternity clothes. Unfortunately, some maternity shops will only carry regular sizes. Try Motherhood Maternity and Target to find cute plus size maternity clothes.

2. Pick out empire waist tops. This style's waistline will fall just below your bust and then billow out over the belly area. You can also find dresses with empire waistlines.

3. Choose a busy pattern. Floral pattern tops are very popular in plus size maternity clothing.

4. Wear long skirts. Prairie style skirts look flattering on plus size pregnant women. They are comfortable and work with a large variety of different style tops.

5. Pick out the right size. Try maternity clothes on before you purchase them. If you are plus size, you want to pick out items that fit properly. T-shirts that are too big will make you look heavier.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't buy too many maternity clothes. A few tops and bottoms will usually suffice.
