Postpartum Fashion Tips

What Not To Wear: Baby on Board
 
Lisa has a 2-year-old daughter named Alice. When she goes to get dressed each morning, she says that she cringes every time. She knows she needs to go clothes shopping, but she hasn't revamped her wardrobe in some time. Her pants are way too big on her, some are held up by safety pins. Her wardrobe is also dominated by black clothing, as displayed in this picture by her friend.

Here, Stacy and Clinton show Lisa an outfit that is both colorful and great for breastfeeding. The bright orange is subdued by the khaki green, and the cotton jersey under the jacket is easy to lift when your baby needs to eat.

In this photo, Stacy and Clinton show Lisa a wrap dress that they feel will be flattering to her shape. Lisa is skeptical because she is trying to hide her tummy, not accentuate it. However, Clinton assures her that the placement of the wrap will have the desired effect.

Lisa's Rules:
  • Tame vibrant colors with muted khakis. Remember, you're a new mom —don't resort to wearing black.

  • Bottom layers that are made of cotton are great for moms who are breastfeeding. They are comfortable to the skin and easily lifted for feedings.

  • Banding around the tummy can help reduce a postpartum belly.

  • Watch Lisa's video reveal to see her transformation.
