Modbe Clothing: September 2008

Maternity Week

This week we are joining with www.aordinarylife.com for Maternity Week. Everyday we will be showing how you can supplement your exising wardrobe with Modbe to use items that you already have or add a few key pieces for Comfort and Fashion. When selecting clothing for maternity it is essential to focus on comfort and the types of fabric. You want clothing that will breath. At Modbe all of our clothing items are designed for everyday wear - but after having so many customers use the items during maternity - we found that we don't need to create a seperate maternity line. The comfort and design of our items are great to supplement or become your maternity clothes. Make sure to visit www.aordinarylife.com and enter the great giveaways going on this week!

Maternity Week Tanks

Tired of too many layers and wanting to cut down on the extra heat? Look into a tank with a built in bra. Our balanced tank provides the support that you need. It comes up high enough in front to give the coverage that you want - and is long enough that you can lift your arms over your head.

Have you noticed how many items in traditional maternity stores are not designed to be worn on their own - many need a tank underneath. Tanks allow you to continue wearing your regular clothes. One of my favorite looks for maternity is taking a shirt or hoodie (button or double zipper) and undoing the item of clothing from your rib cage down - with a tank underneath, you get that extra splash of color. Why hide - show off what your carrying! Looking for more color - check out our caps and cami's.

Maternity Week - Exercise Pants

Although they may be Exercise Pants - right now you might just be after comfort - these Pants and Capri's deliver. Double banded waist to slim your middle and flatter your derriere. Sits higher on the hip for coverage. These pants provide ultra comfort. Pants have flat seams - no reason to annoy when those legs start to itch.

Better yet - both styles come with a tearaway tag so you can reverse. Go with a band of color or solid. These casual - yet dressy pant will become a favorite and encourage comfort.

Maternity Week

Why not talk about swim. Just because your expecting doesn't mean you won't look great in a suit. Modbe Swim works great for regular wear and Maternity double the use. The spandex is great quality - it will stretch and then you can wear it again afterwords- don't worry that it will be destroyed during the uses. Most important: Modbe tops are LONG. They will continue to give you coverage over your belly during those late months. You don't have to worry about showing more than you want. Most important - you won't have to sacrifice fashion while wearing swim for two.

My top picks for maternity - the halter, bandeau (extra coverage through the chest) and lace up tops. All three give ample support.

As far as swim bottoms are concerned - if you gain most of your baby weight out front - stick with the same size bottoms. If you gain most of your baby weight in your hips, bum and thighs - go up one size. All our swim bottoms have a band that can be folded over - or worn up - this gives you that extra support you need, or fold down to eliminate cutting into your stomach. Great for after baby also to keep that little extra stomach hidden.

Skirts - wonderful to hide the stretch marks.

Don't shy away from swimming during these months - its a great way to cool down or take the added stress off your joints.
