Y’all know how much I love me some LulaRoe. No, I’m not a consultant and no I don’t work for LulaRoe… I just genuinely love the clothes and the company. I wear their stuff all the time!
Anyway, I get emails, comments, and questions ALL. THE. TIME. from readers about how to wear LulaRoe through pregnancy / maternity and postpartum. And while I haven’t been pregnant in five months or so (you know, because Amos is five months old… haha!), I thought it would be helpful to put together some of my favorite LulaRoe pieces / outfits that I have worn to (hopefully) give you some inspiration!
I get a lot of questions about the earrings I wear – my earrings are from Nickel & Suede.
This dress is one of my favorites and is so, so comfortable. I felt so beautiful in this dress through every stage of my pregnancy and is great for postpartum as well. The neckline is stretchy so it’s easy to stretch down for breastfeeding!
Works during all trimesters and postpartum, but looks amazing in the second and third trimesters!
The Nicole dress is basically a short, flowy-skirt version of the Ana dress. The Nicole is one of my FAVORITE dresses and I wear it all the time. I truly think the Nicole dress is flattering on all body types and during all stages!
Works during all trimesters and postpartum, but looks amazing in the second and third trimesters!
The Amelia dress is best for the first trimester and early parts of the second trimester. Depending on the material of the Amelia, the pleats can fall funny in later trimesters. I loved wearing my Amelia dresses early on! Plus, it has POCKETS!!!! Pockets are the best.
Leggings are LIFE. Seriously. I wear the tall and curvy leggings because I like the way they fit me best… and they worked well during all three trimesters and were AMAZING in the hospital and especially those first weeks postpartum.
The Julia dress was basically MADE for pregnancy. I mean, not ACTUALLY, but it just looks SO cute on pregnant women! It’s so flattering and hugs your curves and your belly during pregnancy. My Julia dresses made me feel so confident and beautiful.
I LOVE the Randy tee – it’s GREAT for casual and everyday looks and it is so stretchy so it worked throughout my whole pregnancy. The hem line is also a little longer, so stretching didn’t affect the length much at all.
So, Amelia dresses tend to come in different fabrics. Some fabrics are “stiffer” (the Aztec print Amelia dress shown above is a stiffer material), and some fabrics are very stretchy. This particular Amelia dress is SO stretchy! So, I wore this dress a lot during pregnancy and it worked even in later trimesters… If you are shopping online, as your consultant what the material is if you’re wondering. I always ask if the material is stiff or stretchy. That helps me judge what size to get, too. If it’s stiffer, I tend to size up, if it’s stretchy, I tend to stick to my normal size or size down.
I absolutely LOVE to wear LulaRoe Perfect Tee and it is a favorite year ’round, but was GREAT for pregnancy. It has a very flared bottom and slits on the sides of the shirt which work great for ANY belly size. It’s also super flattering postpartum because it hides that postpartum belly really well. It’s also longer and covers the bum so it’s perfect for wearing with leggings. 🙂
Now, y’all know I wear LulaRoe and it has been great postpartum. The Amelia dress is my favorite style and it is great for nursing because you can just turn the dress around and wear it BACKWARDS. Just zip the dress up 3/4 of the way and tuck the upper corners in… this makes the dress like a v-neck and is perfect for easy access for breastfeeding.
I’ve already written a lot about this, but the Irma tunic, Lindsay Kimono, and Leggings are so great for postpartum. I wore this in the hospital and in those first days home from the hospital and, well… all the time. 🙂 Stretch, stretch, stretch. The Irma tunic was also awesome during pregnancy because it’s so forgiving!
And then there’s dressing up with your little one… I LOVE matching Lilly and pretty much match her any chance I get.
And just showing another wear to wear the Nicole and DotDotSmile… wearing them as skirts! 🙂
