The Petite Maternity Guide to Dresses

You are pregnant, so of course leggings and pants may stop fitting you, but there are many things in your closet that will keep working in your favor! I have especially loved finding clothing I already own or new pieces that will work while I am pregnant and postpartum.

Flowy dresses like the one posted below are perfect because you can wear it during or after pregnancy. You will likely want to show your bump off from time to time, but every now and then you want something roomy and more comfortable. This dress is perfect for the cute petite mom. Pair it with a pair of flats or comfortable wedges and you are all set!

Stretchy bodycon dresses are great for the petite mom who wants to show off her growing bump. The trick I have found is to avoid anything with a tight strap under the bust or a zipper. However, if it stretches a lot and you can move around easily in it, it will do the trick. I linked a bump-friendly bodycon dress example below.

Another trick when it comes to purchasing petite maternity wear that you can wear after pregnancy is to find maternity dresses that don’t have the baggy rouching on the side, though that type of clothing should not be off your to-buy list. I bought a midi dress that I absolutely love from Amazon. It’s the perfect casual Summer dress which can be worn during or after pregnancy.

Like I said, there is definitely a need for maternity dresses in your stash, too. You will find assurance that you are not stretching your favorite top and it will stretch with you as you grow, no questions asked. It’s a bonus that some maternity dresses, like the one linked below, are assembled to be easy to use while nursing your infant.

These same tips apply to shirts, tops, and rompers!

The Petite Maternity Sizing Guide- Pants

You may be wondering how to choose the correct sizing. That was a difficult task for me, but I found that with maternity clothes, you stick with your original size. For example if you are a size 25 in jeans, buy the maternity jeans in size 25. If you are a S in clothing, purchase the S in maternity clothes. I know you will feel like you are getting larger, but the maternity sizing is made to match your traditional sizing. Many of the pants will come with a belly band that will stretch over your stomach, allowing for your clothes to fit while your stomach grows to accommodate your precious bundle.

I love the leggings from BabyBub. You can get 10% off your purchase when you use this link. Surprise- they have pockets!

I also love these jeans for the petite fashionista.

Petite Maternity Guide- Shoes

Shoes. An essential to pulling off a flattering maternity look, but man when you are pregnant do your feet hurt! Heels and wedges are not out of the question, but on a regular basis I suggest wearing flats. For this part of the post, I thought it easier to link shoe examples for you to reference.
