The words ‘maternity wear’ tend to strike fear in women’s hearts and for good reason. It instantly conjures up images of baggy, tent-like garments that do nothing to make us look or feel pretty. I’m sure most women envision themselves looking a bit like a potato in the traditional idea of maternity clothes.
Being pregnant is not easy. So the least we could do is to treat ourselves to maternity wear that is both functional and stylish. In fact, with garments that celebrate the bump, you may even find yourself feeling more feminine and goddess-like than ever!
Fortunately, KL is a forward looking city, and while the maternity and nursing wear selection is not huge, there are enough choices that should let you stay true to your style.
Topshop and H&M
These high-street brands offer a range of chic maternity clothes for the discerning young lady. Topshop in Midvalley offers trendy pieces that work with your pregnant body, instead of covering it all up. While H&M in Lot 10 offers nursing bras and tanks as well as nice basics that feel like your normal clothes.
Summer Glitz
Are you a fan of cutesy Korean fashion? Summer Glitz is available online with offerings that are super trendy and fresh, and best of all, affordable. It will be hard for you to tell the difference between regular dresses and maternity dresses.
