Sizing guide for maternity wear

Generally you would order your maternity wear in your pre-pregnancy size. Correctly designed Maternity wear is cut to fit your body normally, taking into account that you have a growing tummy not a bigger body. If you have gained 10-15 kg's or more, only then are you likely to have gone up a size. Check the guide below for help,

Measurement guide for maternity wear:

Why do we ask for your measurements?

We have all experienced going into a store and grabbing the size you normally wear only to find when you fit it on,that particular store's size 10 for e.g. is actually closer to a 14, or the other way round! Having your measurements helps ensure we send the right size to fit you, taking into account the expected the growth you will be going through.

 

What we need to ensure best and lasting fit.

See white lines in picture to left:

A. Bust - Widest part.

B. Hip band - where the hip band of your pants will fit you.

C. Hip - widest part of hip/butt.

Tips for getting the best fit out of your maternity wear:

 16 weeks or earlier ? Some loose fitting clothing may seem "too big" but you will grow. Let us know your basic Measurements and we will ensure we send you the correct size, taking into account the growth you will experience!

The most flattering length for a top that is below the waist : hang your arms down to the side and where your thumb ends=the perfect length!

The most flattering length for pants: the hem of bootleg pants should just touch the floor at the heel when you are bare feet.

All of our maternity trousers are adjustable and therefore designed to fit YOU perfectly with the button hole elastic.
