Things You'll Need:
- Wide range of empire-waist maxi dresses
- Dresses in a variety of colors, shapes and with differing details (like ruffles)
- Comfortable ballet flats or gladiator sandals
- Classic tops and perfect-fit pants
- Belts at the waistline, wide sunglasses and headbands
-
Step 1
Be realistic by dressing for post-partum comfort. Jessica has been seen wearing long empire maxi dresses (both during pregnancy and afterward) in a wide variety of colors. Although her dresses are simple and comfortable for breast feeding or baby duty, their vibrant colors and patterns help her appear put together and chic.
-
Step 2
Choose dresses that flatter any areas which need flattering. Jessica’s long dresses feature cinched tops with loose skirts, which help to conceal her stomach after baby while displaying naturally thin areas like the decolletage, shoulders and legs.
-
Step 3
Have fun with post-partum fashion by choosing vivid prints and fun details. Jessica’s dresses have fun features like ruffled bottoms if short, intricate necklines if long, or she simply belts them at the waistline.
-
Step 4
Keep accessories simple. Although it can be tempting to overdo the jewelry after baby (in an attempt to feel glamorous), Jessica maintained a simplistic fashion sense by choosing dainty ballet flats or gladiator sandals, wrapped summer scarves and bright hoop earrings to dress up her dresses.
-
Step 5
Fit and function are the key to flattering your post-partum figure. After letting her body heal, Jessica began to switch from dresses to lean dress pants, soft fitted shirts and blouses. Try choosing items that fit your physique now (without being too tight or too large) and are functional in your busy mothering schedule.
