You need to be comfortable in what you are wearing whilst being presentable. Wearing tight dresses in the postnatal stage can be irritating and difficult to carry.

Select beautiful colours that will brighten your mood. Opt for floral colours and avoid light colours as new mothers are prone to getting stains while caring for the baby.

Baggy or loose fitting t-shirts or sweatshirts can hide the stomach bulges. To hide heavier arms, try adding feminine sweater with a loose fitting pant or trouser. If you have a short waist and need to create shape, wear a belt to accessorise the dress and look stylish.
