Plus Size Tall Maternity Clothing

Forget what you might have assumed about plus-size maternity clothing for tall women. It doesn't have to be dowdy and dull, or huge and hilarious. It can be classic and sophisticated, bold and adventurous, exotic and one-of-a-kind. In short, it can be just as fashionable as your regular clothes.

That said, it is important to note that plus-size maternity clothing often stands apart from traditional maternity wear. This is because it is designed with a taller and/or larger woman's body in mind. It respects a full-figured woman's curves-and accents them in a flattering way. You don't have to be ashamed of your tall or plus-size maternity clothing-in fact, you can celebrate it!

Are Specialty Maternity Clothes Necessary?

The majority of full-figured women will find that they do need specially-made maternity clothes to fit their figures. Generally, tall, large women gain less weight in pregnancy and show less than other mothers-to-be.



As a result, at times they may be able to simply wear their regular clothes or buy clothes a few sizes larger than usual. If you are a size 24 or larger at the start of your pregnancy, chances are you will not gain much weight. However, if your size runs from 16 to 22, you are more likely to need special maternity clothes to accommodate your changing body.

Shopping Smart

Numerous companies today offer specialized maternity clothing for the plus-size market. Motherhood Maternity, Baby Becoming, and Jake and Me are among those retailers you will readily find on the Internet. Other options include Pickles and Ice Cream, Maternity for Less, and J.C. Penney. You can also choose from among consignment stores such as Baby and Me Consignments, Maternity Treasures, and The Fairy Godmother at Large. If you have beautiful, long legs and require tall plus size maternity clothing, one of the above-named stores will be your smart solution.

Going the Regular Clothes Route

If you'd like to wear regular clothes during your pregnancy, you have a number of options. For instance, in casual wear, you can choose from among knit leggings, elastic-waist pants, drawstring pants, and sweat pants. It is best to wear soft fabrics that will be pleasant to your skin. For instance, knit or cotton jersey may be the best choices. You can wear large, loose tops during the last month, then switch to baby doll or trapeze-style tops. For sleepwear and active wear, consider t-shirts in men's large sizes, since these tend to be cut extra-wide at the belly. In this way, you can make your clothing dollar stretch even further.
