Congratulations to all individuals who are reading this article! I have worked in fashion magazines for some time, I was excited at the prospect of getting a new wardrobe when I learned I was pregnant. Unfortunately, finding maternity fashion I liked wasn't easy whatsoever. Put together with the challenge of finding affordable maternity clothes, I decided to 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 only as stylish as the women in Europe but our options here seem much more limited. So, here are a couple style tips which will keep you looking and feeling cool in summer and where you can shop for stylish maternity clothing that doesn't cost a year's worth of nappies!

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

I found that this would be 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 wouldn't want your employer to start making plans for the future that don't include you. I also found that I wasn't keen to let everyone know that I had been pregnant until I'd had the BIG 12 week scan as I'd made the big mistake of telling several people early before and then miscarried.

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

Its time to celebrate and flaunt your bump!

There still appears to be so much maternity clothing available which does women that are pregnant 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 offer you shape. Empire line dresses are so fashionable at the moment, you could wear them even when you're no longer pregnant, stretching your dollars even further.

Summer maternity clothes

Australian summers are actually hot and buying maternity clothes online from your northern hemisphere just doesn't work as their seasons would be the opposite of ours. Despite the heat, wearing strapless maternity dresses with ruching down the sides or T-shirt dresses. There are some great maternity dress styles available at the moment for women that are pregnant 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 - you can 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 a swim. I'd definitely recommend buying some maternity swimwear, as some of the stares can make you feel a little uncomfortable if you wear your usual bikini. Maternity swimwear that has ruching down the sides enable you to move easily and not feel constricted over the belly as you get larger. Plus, any occasion during summer in Australia wouldn't be the same without spending lazy days by the pool.

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

Maternity wear it doesn't break the bank: bargain maternity clothes

womens fashion online - Finding cheap maternity clothes around australia was near impossible when I started looking. All things considered, I was only planning to wear this clothing for at most of the 9 months, or possibly longer if I would have been to have another child (concurrently of year again). I also wasn't a pregnant celebrity for whom price was no object. I do believe this is how most women feel, yet we still desire to feel gorgeous at this time in our lives as we indeed should. So, I looked around for maternity sales store but found it was for your wrong season - the growing season just gone! This wasn't going to help at all. I also looked for second-hand maternity clothes on eBay but found there was clearly little choice there and was back to square one.

My best tip for finding affordable maternity wear in Australia is to look for maternity clothes online and do a local Internet search for the words "maternity sale" in order that the clothes match our summertime. Maternity wear shops are generally scattered all over the place and you'll be getting hot and bothered going from shop to look, trying on clothes. Shop from your comfort of your own home or even an internet cafe with a lovely cool drink with you. You'll find some great options appear.
