Maternity dressing gowns inspired by Fearne Cotton

Fearne Cotton may have opted for two different dresses as she hosted the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards 2012 last night, but she also showed us how to wear a dressing gown in bumpilicious style.

As well as the boho sleeved floral and lace frock, which she wore for the beginning of the event, and the sleek monochrome dress for later in the evening, the presenter also gave us a little lesson in the importance of nightwear.

This morning she Tweeted: "Last night the Cosmos were in the V&A. My dress needed an iron so I ticked 'being naked in the V&A' off the life list!", before posting a picture of herself in a cosy whitedressing gown.

We've taken inspiration from the sneak peak and put together a few of our fave styles, which are sure to keep you comfy and your bump warm in the upcoming winter months.

See our picks below.

Sites we love: Isabella Oliver World maternity fashion

We all know that maternity fashion can be hard to get right.


You've gone from having your pick of the highstreet rails, to having to find that look that suits you and your growing bump.

Not only is this why we've launched, but also something fashion brand Isabella Oliver has been working on. 

The maternity arm of the company, which is a fave for pregnant celebs,  earlier this year launched Isabella Oliver World, an online ‘destination’ where women can live and breathe style during pregnancy.

Coming from a designer point of view the site gives pregnant women all over the world a chance to learn about the Art of Pregnancy style.

Baukjen de Swaan Arons, Founder and Creative Director at Isabella Oliver said earlier this year: “After eight years of dressing pregnant women, we wanted to share everything that we have learnt and provide support to women in one of the most beautiful times in their lives.

"Isabella Oliver World was conceived as an idea over a year ago and I am so excited to see it become available for women to enjoy.”

With Isabella Oliver World and Does My Bump Look Good in This, you're sure to be the belle of any bump ball.

Yes, we know, we do spoil you.

Top five highstreet maternity jumpers for winter

A winter jumper is essential. Not only will it keep you and your growing bump warm, but chosen properly, will form a staple part to your maternity wardrobe and ensure you don't spend hundreds on a collection you won't be wearing for too long.

Thankfully the highstreet has a range of maternity jumpers available to suit every need and trend.

Go for a Breton stripe number, like this one from Asos, which is perfect for wearing under a blazer for work or with a pair of jeans for a casual weekend look, while Topshop's stud grunge jumper is great for ladies who want to stay on-trend and perfect teamed up with a pair of maternity skinnies and heels for a night out.

If you're looking for a jumper for the office then this lace knit navy blue one from Next is great teamed up with trousers or a skirt, while Mothercare's simple black knitwear is perfect for any occasion.
