Hatch

Finally! Someone has done a range of maternity fashion that has some style. Check out the Hatch collection here. This is actually the first time I have seen maternity wear that is not corporate and personality-free. And you can wear it before, during and after pregnancy, so you don't have to waste your money on short term clothing. Found via Oh Joy.

Jimmy D

Jimmy D is my favourite NZ clothing brand and I am dying for my order of the S/S2012 collection Buzz Kill. It just occurred to me how perfect all these loose styles are for pregnancy. And check out the very last picture below - a breast feeding dress! Perfection.

Bump Leggings

I have to admit it's pretty hard scouting out clothing to wear while pregnant now that I am not. But I wish I had come across these back then. I basically live in leggings these days and while pregnant they were unbelievably annoying and now are very stretched. But these look perfect. Not sure about the heels tho.

Hot Legs

Sometimes when you are pregnant you feel like crap and getting dressed is a nightmare. A really good way to add something different to a plain outfit (especially in winter) is leggings. Here are a few options that are a little different to the norm. Left to right: Salasai, Jimmy D & Future Classics.

Mama Fashion

Here is another great dress for breast feeding, I wore this to a wedding recently and it was so easy. It has a beautiful low cut back so you can just slip it off one shoulder and feed. It's got a generous amount of fabric so it would also see you through a pregnancy and can be worn all year round. By NZ designer Cybele, Cybele does a lot of loose fitting dresses so they are great for pregnancy, more info here.

Not Maternity Fashion

One of the things I found hardest while I was pregnant was finding clothes to wear that made me feel good and not like I had to suddenly become mumsy and start shopping at malls. These two brands saw me right through my pregnancy and straight into breast feeding.

COMPLEX GEOMETRIES
This is one of my all time favorite brands. It's easy to wear, easy to wash and mostly really affordable. Sometimes the pieces are a little complex to! Images from Complex Geometries
You can buy this brand locally at Children of Vision in Auckland or Good as Gold in Wellington.

I bought most of my Wang pieces from Tobi but you can also find them at Shopbop.
