Lil Community: I Made My Own Maternity Jeans!

Lil Community — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:00:14 PST

A mom-to-be's got to do what a mom's got to do. This post was submitted by Beaner in The Pregnancy Posse group.

OK, so I know these in no way compare to designer maternity jeans, but since I'll only be wearing them for a couple months (Spring is coming soon and that means skirts and dresses!), I thought I'd save my dough and make some of my own. I converted a pair of my old jeans by cutting off the top and attaching an elastic waistband. Not too bad right? And see my little baby bump? At four months along, the little one is the size of a turnip now!

Babysugar Diaries: Paige Maternity Jeans

babysugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:00:34 PDT

Many mamas-to-be find denim too restricting, but jeans suit most occasions so pregnant women get a lot of bang for their buck when they invest in a pair. Paige sent me a pair of Laurel Canyon maternity jeans ($185) to review and since I am a fan of their regular jeans, I was excited to give them a go.

After washing and hemming them to my liking, I slipped on the swanky dungarees. A perfect fit on the tush and legs, I was thrilled to look hip in (gasp!) maternity jeans! Constructed with 98 percent cotton and the remaining percent spandex, the black stretchy belly band starts where a normal button and belt loops would be and rises to just below the belly button leaving no room to bare your burgeoning belly or bottom.

While some maternity jeans pull all the way up to the bra line and look unsightly on the hanger, they do keep the belly from looking pinched in half. When wearing tight shirts with my Paige jeans, I can see the line where the band stops. For slim mamas–to–be that's not a problem, but for mothers who are more cushioned, the split may be a tad too much. The seam didn't bother me too much though because I went out and purchased another pair in white and between the two, I hardly wear anything else.

Baby Bump: Maternity Jeans

babysugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:00:45 PST

One of the last things a pregnant woman wants to give up are her designer jeans since they go with everything. Dressed up or worn with sneakers, a good pair of dungarees can take you from morning to night with a quick change of shoes and tossing on an accessory.

To see the truckload of maternity jeans,

Since maternity garb is only intended for a few months wear, many moms-to-be have a hard time justifying the high price of designer jeans. I say, indulge! Having experienced pregnancy, I can assure you that you will LIVE in your most flattering and comfortable jeans so on a price by wearing basis, you will definitely get your money's worth.

Nearly every designer has jumped on the baby bump bandwagon. Rock & Republic, Hudson, True Religion, Seven, Joe's Jeans, William Rast and Paige are just a few of the many lines on board.

Baby Bump: Get Halle Berry's Pregolicious Style

babysugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:00:27 PST

Expectant hot mama Halle Berry is showing off her bump in style. Already in her third trimester, she's not letting her belly take a break from fashion. And hip designers are taking note. Nowadays, pregnant women have no excuse to look frumpy. To see how to get the look,

In this picture, Halle is strutting her stuff in the Mama J jeans from J Brand ($210). Not available at every maternity store, these jeans were made by J Brand exclusively for the mecca of maternity shops, A Pea in the Pod.

Instead of the usual stretch tummy panel, these hip dungarees cut just below the belly and sport the elastic panels on the sides. And not to worry, they come up higher in the back so your tush won't be exposed when you lean over to pick up that tres chic diaper bag.

Jennifer Garner Shops For Maternity Clothes Despite Rachel Zoe's Objections

Katie Henry — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:27:38 PST

Jennifer Garner was wrapped up in an Autumn Cashmere sweater as she stopped for a hot beverage at a Peet's Coffee in LA this morning. From there she dropped off her youngest daughter, Seraphina, and headed to her local Target. Jennifer was spotted browsing through the mom-to-be fashion department despite her close friend, and stylist, Rachel Zoe's attempt to keep Jen out of maternity clothes. Instead, Rachel's been dressing Jen in sheath dresses and bump-hugging cocktail attire for recent events. In fact, Zoe selected a dramatic one-shoulder short silk frock for Jen's AFI Fest premiere of Butter. Jen's been going glam for her red-carpet events, but away from the spotlight she's been sticking to warm and cozy sweaters paired with her favorite jeans.

Beyoncé Knowles Shows Off Her Baby Love in NYC

Lauren Turner — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:35:31 PDT

Beyoncé Knowles headed into her office in NYC this morning. She looked casual in jeans and a white sweater after getting sexy in a skirt and top earlier this week. Beyoncé is set to launch her own maternity line, so she'll soon have plenty of options for dressing during her pregnancy. The baby is due in February, leaving Beyoncé a few more months to prepare for her first child with husband Jay-Z. Jay will have to take a break from parenting prep, though, when he goes on tour with Kanye West this Winter.
