Does My Bump Look Good in This?: Over the bump maternity jeans

Wednesday, 22 May 2013

Maternity fashion reader question: Where can I find over the bump skinny jeans?

As many of you will already know, I set up Does My Bump after I struggled to find those perfect maternity clothes when I was pregnant.

After one too many shopping trips when I came home with nothing but swollen feet and a headache and after speaking to many of my pregnant friends, I decided I'd start a site where women could find all the maternity fashion inspiration they needed under one virtual roof.

I love getting questions about maternity fashion from our readers and trying my best to help them out, so today this post is for Colette who came to us after she struggled to find a pair of over the bump skinny jeans.

The problem many pregnant women find when searching for a pair of maternity skinny jeans is that quite a few are designed with a narrow band that sits under the bump.

This is because the cut of the jean works better this way.

However, it doesn't suit everyone and it seems Blooming Marvellous has woken up to this fact, designing this pair of maternity skinny jeans with an over the bump option. At £30 the jean sits in the average price for denim and is great for providing the support your bump needs.

It comes in bright blue, which is great for channelling this year's colour trend, or a simple timeless black. Buy them now from Mothercare.

Top five skinny maternity jeans to suit any budget

We are slightly denim obsessed here at DoesMyBump towers so much so that we've resorted to hiding our new jean purchases away from the other half in fear of being sent to rehab, and applied to be the sixth member of Bewitched.

And if you share our denim passion you'll be as excited as we were when we found that our traditional jeans just didn't go over that bump anymore signalling that it was time to buy a pair of maternity jeans.

Maternity jeans are probably one of the first items that you'll find you need to buy as your bump begins to sprout.

Not only do they provide comfort, but also the support your bump will need over the next few months and, if you pick the right pair, they should grow with you right until the end meaning those on a budget needn't worry about having to invest in lots of pairs.

Today we've decided to focus on skinny maternity jeans, which are a great addition to any maternity wardrobe, providing style that can be dressed up or down.

Tryover or under the bump styles - there's no right or wrong here - and decide which one feels better for you. Then have some fun with the credit card.
