The Family Groove Belly Files

THE BELLY FILES
MATERNITY FASHION'S HOTTEST HOUSES TALK SHOP-PING

Looking and feeling pretty, oh so pretty isn't always easy when your belly is a-swelling. A lot of times
mamas-to-be resort to oversized (read: frumpy) clothes (read: their husband's), feeling as out of touch
with the latest styles and how to wear them as they do with their growing bodies.

THE FAMILY GROOVE is here to say that you don't have to sacrifice style for the next nine plus months—
and you don't have to spend a fortune to do so either. Each month, we'll give you the insider scoop on
the hippest bump styles à la mode straight from the fashion experts who have created them.


This month, Vanessa Knox-Brien and Baukjen de Swaan Arons-van Sonsbeeck of the cutting-edge, luxe maternity fashion house Isabella Oliver, capture late fall's five most glamorous looks.

If you need a show-stopping dress opt for a style that exudes iconic glamour. This wraps in countless ways so you can add your signature flourish. Just add sexy heels and pouty lipstick.

Choose a design that flatters cleavage, collarbones and shoulders. You can sizzle in the cocktail lounge, opera or at a romantic dinner in this number.

For Hepburn-inspired chic this classic little black dress is a winner.
Sweep up your hair, add your sexiest heels and have a wonderful time.

A look like this three-quarter sleeve funnel neck jacket with a trapeze crop
is sleek and contemporary—perfect for pregnancy and after.

As the cold weather sets in find a coat that works for the office through to evenings out. Tailored, voluminous styles paired with leather gloves will banish winter chills with guaranteed chic.
