July 27, 2009
If you are petite pregnant mom-to-be, you may be wondering how to dress to best flatter your new pregnancy curves. Find out what to wear and what not to wear to for a stylish 9 months.

Petite women, defined as women under 5′4″, need to make sure they are dressed with proprotion is mind. Look for clothes in petite sizes that are designed for your smaller frame, otherwise the clothes will look sloppy and overwhelming. Online stores like bellablumaternity.com and IsabellaOliver.com have sections just for the petite mom-to-be.
Avoid large, bold prints and look for small patterns or prints to prevent you from overwhelming your frame.
To create a longer look, wear monochromatic or one-color outfits, such as black pants and black top, to add inches to your small frame. Straight lines, such as sheath dresses, also give the illusion of height.
Nude heels or sandals should be a staple in every petite mamas wardrobe. They instantly add inches to your legs!
