Bella Bands - Maternity Clothes of the Future

The maternity clothes of today are not like what your mother used to wear. No moo moo's or tents for today's expecting mom's. And thankfully so, because who really want to look like you are the tent for the circus? No one does.

This is why the manufacturers of today have begun making trendy clothes for pregnant women. The clothes almost look like something you would want to wear even if you were not pregnant. This of course does come with a hefty price tag for something that you can only wear for 9 months. So along with the trendy maternity clothes some manufacturers have also created cheaper shortcuts for those of us who would like to look good without robbing a bank.

My favorite maternity secret is Bella Bands made by Ingrid and Isabelle. The purpose of these bands is that they are tight enough that they can be worn over the top half of your jeans so that you can wear your "skinny" jeans unzipped through the whole pregnancy. That's right you won't have to buy maternity jeans! This is a big selling point for me because they do not make maternity jeans long enough for me to wear. So I look like I am waiting for a flood in maternity jeans.

Not only do these work to support your growing belly and hold up your jeans, but they let you wear your pre-pregnancy shirts that are growing too small. The band is worn over your jeans and under your shirt; so when your shirts start to get too small, the band shows out the bottom of your shirt and looks like you just layered two shirts! It gives the layered look without the bulk of having to wear two shirts. It looks very cute and the average price for a Bella Band is $25. It looks better and is cheaper than buying maternity jeans that you will probably never wear again.

You can purchase Bella Bands directly at www.ingridandisabel.com or you can always check eBay for people selling them or other manufacturers that may be selling them for less. The secret when buying these is too err on the side of too small rather than too big. They stretch a lot and are meant to grow with your belly. These are definitely the best maternity product I have found and I know you will not be disappointed!
