Show-Off

Maternity dressing used to be all about hiding. Nowadays, everyone advises you to embrace your expanding belly and show off your newfound cleavage and curves. You're all for it, but only if you can pull it off with flair.

Comfort, fashion and sex appeal come together beautifully in Isabella Oliver, a London-based maternity line. These fuss-free styles are simple, elegant and supremely flattering. Soft jersey fabrics stretch and let your skin breathe, while practical solid colors like black, white, chocolate and taupe make a few key pieces act like a whole new wardrobe.

You'll find styles you'd wear even if you weren't pregnant, like pencil skirts, fluid trousers, wrap tops and halter dresses. Many of the pieces feature Isabella Oliver's signature ruching – softly gathered sides wrap your belly in ripples of fabric to flatter and fit at every stage. The full line has just about everything a stylish mom-to-be needs, including swimsuits, lingerie, and even something to wear to that upcoming summer wedding.

Imagine having maternity clothes you might actually miss when it's all over.
