Congratulations to all people who are reading this article! Having been an employee in fashion magazines for a while, I was excited in  the prospect of getting another wardrobe when I learned I was  pregnant. Unfortunately, finding maternity fashion I liked wasn't easy in any way. Put together with the challenge of finding affordable maternity clothes, I thought I'd either have to wear a dress that looked like a big tent or resort to wearing tops halfway up  my big belly! Australian women are just as stylish because the women in Europe but our options here seem so much more limited. So, here's a few style tips which will keep you looking and feeling cool in summer and where you can shop for stylish maternity clothing that does not cost a year's  valuation on nappies!

Hiding your belly if you are not yet ready to tell the planet

I found that this was obviously a major issue, especially at the job as there was this fear that soon everyone would realize that either I'd been enjoying my food an excessive amount of recently or that I'd indeed started growing a bump. And, you don't want your employer to start making plans for the future that do not include you. Furthermore, i found that I wasn't keen permit everyone know that I had been pregnant until I'd had the large 12 week scan as I'd made the mistake of telling a couple of people early last time and then miscarried.

So, during this period, I'd definitely recommend dresses with empire lines in floaty, cotton fabrics which don't cling in your shape so jersey fabrics are  out at this point in time. Tunic-style or A-line style dresses are also good although via a normally your style, you'll probably have  friends/colleagues wondering "Is he or s isn't she...?". As for tops, I found I had a few non-fitted shirts which were perfect for this period - shirts having a print are better still as they tend to distract a person's  eye. Bottoms are the difficult bit, especially for second pregnancies onwards as you tend to show much earlier. However, you may get away with beginning to wear maternity jeans or pants in the event you wear longer tops that cover up the belly band. Similarly, with maternity skirts.

Its time to celebrate and showcase your bump!

There still appears to be so much maternity clothing out there which does pregnant women a disservice. After approximately 3-4 months, you need to show off your voluptuous curves, to not hide under a big sack. Maternity T-shirt dresses and empire line dresses especially, hug your bust area to provide you with shape. Empire line dresses are so fashionable at the moment, that you could wear them even when you're will no longer  pregnant, stretching your dollars even further.

Summer maternity clothes

Australian summers are really hot and buying maternity clothes online from the northern hemisphere just fails as their seasons would be the opposite of ours. Regardless of the heat, wearing strapless maternity dresses with ruching on the sides or T-shirt  dresses. There are several great maternity dress styles out there at the moment for pregnant women such as a halter neck maxi dress which wouldn't look out place on the catwalk. Also, do not be afraid to show off your legs - it is possible to still wear mini skirts and shorts to  help keep cool. And when it got too hot, I'd pop on my small maternity swimmers and go to the pool or beach for any swim. I'd definitely recommend buying some maternity swimwear, as a number of the stares can make you feel somewhat uncomfortable  if you wear your usual bikini. Maternity swimwear which includes ruching down the sides allow you to move easily and not feel constricted  throughout the belly as you get larger. Plus, a holiday during summer in Australia wouldn't be the same without having to spend lazy days by the pool.

Breathable fabrics including cotton, bamboo and viscose/rayon are the best for maternity wear, especially in summer. Your body temperature will be higher while you're pregnant, so these fabrics will help keep you cool. They are all from natural sources plus bamboo has got the added benefit of being "eco-friendly maternity wear". Jersey fabrics allow you to move and grow in comfort and therefore are great for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

Maternity wear that does not break the bank: bargain maternity clothes

womens fashion online - Finding cheap maternity clothes in Australia was near impossible after i started looking. In the end, I was only going to wear this clothing for at most of the 9 months, or even longer if I would have been to have another  child (concurrently of year again). I additionally wasn't a pregnant celebrity to whom price was no object. I believe this is how most women feel, yet we still wish to feel gorgeous at this time in our lives even as indeed should. So, I looked around for maternity sales available but found it was for that wrong season - the summer season just gone! This wasn't planning to help at all. Furthermore, i looked for second-hand maternity clothes on eBay but found there was little choice there and was returning to  square one.

My best tip for locating affordable maternity wear in Australia is to look for maternity clothes on the internet and do a local  Internet search for the words "maternity sale" so that the clothes match our summer  season. Maternity wear shops are usually scattered all over the place and are getting hot and bothered going from shop to look,  trying on clothes. Shop in the comfort of your own home or perhaps an internet cafe with a lovely cool drink on your side. You'll find some great options come up.
