Though one would expect that only maternity clothes would fit a pregnant woman nicely, I found the Diamond-Smocked Scoop Shell by George Designs by Mark Eisen to be a perfect fit. I bought it a size larger than what I usually wear, to make room for my belly, and am quite satisfied with it. My husband is happy with the fit and assures me I am quite “cute” in it.

I like the texture of the straps and the drape of the empire waist. It falls just right over the curves I still do have in my waist and comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Shop at WalMart.com and, currently on sale for $10.00, it can drape over your shape as well.

This is a classy look because the top is not just covering mother’s tummy, and it’s not exposing her tummy, it’s complimenting her maternal figure. The Viscose Razor Maternity top falls softly and gracefully and can be layered over the Lauren Kiyomi baby rib tank (also available at same site).

This ensemble is suitable for casual outings with your guy or visiting family or friends. Such a lightweight and comfortable top should be in your wardrobe. It is available in small, medium and large sizes for $25.95 at StellaMaternity.com.

Knowing the cravings and hunger pains that go along with being pregnant, I loved this tank upon spotting it. The We’re Hungry Tank by Chic-a-Boo is one size fits all, which can be dangerous territory depending on your build, and offered in brown with white lettering. I like wearing cotton tanks on hot summer days, so this item completely fits the bill. It would go nicely with jean capris or a gypsy style skirt and pretty necklace.

Accessorize it to your taste, as this tank is versatile enough for any mom’s style. Sold for $37.00, you can grab it at Babymabels.com.

Made You Look Suzie’s Sweet Shop Tank Dress is just the thing I’d like to see on any little girl of mine. Imagine it paired with Mary Janes or a matching hair bow; completely sweet and stylin’. Twirlable, something little girls enjoy, and perfect in pink, it sells for $44.00.

Though it’s a shame that it’s only available in 2T and 4T, as it would be adorable on an infant girl as well. I like that little girls nowadays can be dressed well without sacrificing comfort. Girls in dresses need not sip tea at the table with mom; they can run amok with the boys! Slip a pair of cute bloomers underneath and away she goes.
