About Our Clothes

Your pre-pregnancy size is your maternity size That's the general rule. 

But there are some exceptions to this rule.

The type of pregnancy body you have, and how you carry can change the size you’ll need as your pregnancy progresses.

Yes! The clothing we re-sell is in great shape.

It's suitable for professional settings, special occasions, photoshoots and everyday wear.

We curate our consignments to meet high standards. All our product descriptions have the quality of the piece. New, like new, or gently used.

We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t be comfortable wearing out in public.

Yes! Maternity clothing isn’t worn for very long. A 40-week pregnancy isn't long enough to wear out well made clothing.

That's why we only carry quality brands. We don't carry maternity clothing from drop-shipping sites like Wish, Ali Express, and Pat Pat. Our brands keep function and comfort in mind. And they can make you money when you're done with them.
