HOt MommA!

ada mak buyungs sedang mencari baju mengandung. so hari ni akak mood rajin sikit nk tulung gugel kan kat korang eh.. mmg dilema juga nk beli baju mengandung ni. nk pakainye kejap je tapi kalau tak beli nkpakai apa lak.. nk beli baju saiz besar karang tak cantik pulak, gedoboshh je.

when it comes to maternity fashion, akak ni mmg jenis yg tak suka pakai 'unifom'. yakni baju maxi yg selalu mak mak kita pakai masa bawa adik kita dlm perut dulu tuh. akak kurengg sikit sebab selalu2 maternity dress ni senteng.  mmg nmpk betis la. karang pakai tudung nmpk sgt pendek akal. kalau tak pakai tudung boleh la.

kalau nk beli blouse pulak mmg problem. sebab bila jumpa yg cantik dan seswai dgn jiwa rega la pulak mak oiiii ratus2 tuu!! hatta t-shirt bodo pun mau lapanploh hengget. tank sanggup akak. rela lagi pakai baju pagoda abg ajies. and yes, baju pagoda adalah yg paling best.. .

so hari  ni meh kita tgk beberapa contoh pesen2 baju org yg ada perut. kot tak ngandung pun tapi ada spare tu buleh la kot nk gunapakai. so ini adalah kriteria2 penting yg akak jadikan guideline semasa membuat sebarang pembelian:

1. pesen dan cutting yg boleh pakai sampai bila2
being cheapskate, akak akan pastikan baju yg akak  beli tu akan akan buleh pakai lagi sampai la mengandung lagi pat lima kali. termasuk semasa transition period. (read: masa tak preknen pun buleh belasah gak).
cthnya cam ni:

*wrapstyle is great sebab boleh sesuaikan ikut tumbesaran perut.

see.. boleh cover perut up to at least 5months. and besok2 nk breastfeed pun senang nk selak

*that black and white top tu from uniqlo. i dunno if the price is still RM 24.90!

personally i also think baby-doll cut is the cutest pregnancy top ever!

but one thing, i totally tak suka tgk pregnant mummy in sleeveless. at least cari lah yg ada sleeve, pendek pun tak pe janji ada sikit. tak cantik la dok tayang lengan yg gedebeh tu.. kalau nak pakai gak, team it with nice cardigan or jacket.

2. keselesaan mmg penting. so pilih material yg senang nk jaga, low maintenance. meaning tayah nk gosok teruk2, bgn pagi sarung je.stretchy pun good sebab boleh accomodate perut yg makin besar, breathable. best bet is soft cotton, jersey and the like.

time preknen is always subject to heat and shortness of breath jadi jgn pakai ketat2 sgt. biar body buleh bernyawa

cotton is great for more santai mode. for officewear, choose material like satin, jersey, or crisp cotton.

plain stretchy t-shirt is al great. its comfy and can help to show off you cute bump!

3. kesesuaian pesen dgn saiz perut dan saiz badan.

some cuts are more suitable to certain bodytype je so pandai2lah ye.

like this long dress will better suit org tinggi. kalau rasa2 tinggi anda cuma 3 kaki setengah, buleh gak le, tayah pakai suar dah hehe.

4. accesorise!! team up your top/dress with good pair of pants and shoes. use accessorise to jazz up.



5.  baju kurung? i was once advised my a fren 'tolong la jgn pakai baju kurung masa preknen! atleast bila perut dah besar and baju cam sendat semacam. buruk lah' kata dia. hmm mcm setuju.

esp kalau kain yg susun2 tu kan, karang terangkat sebelah. huduh benor. but kurung pahang is great sebab dia kembang so it'l flatter the tummy. i wore them till 5 mths gitu and people can hardly tell im pregnant!

untuk yg memilih gaya muslimah sejati, gaya indon ni okay juga hehe. buleh buat baju raya gak ni

6. the must have : Belly belt! get one from mothercare. but i'l cost $100+!! if you'r creatif enough and have the skill, consider making it your self. ala beli getah pastu jahit butang.. taraa!! bukan ada sapa nk selak pun. tapi make sure pakai baju labuh lah ye.

7. pants - selalunya kalau first pregnancy nk beli maternity jeans and pants tu okay gak ler.. karang2 boleh recycle kan. selalu ku tgk maternity pants ni kebanyakan senteng2 belako. heran sungguh.

nasib ada belly belt penyelamat hidup. tima kasih la kat kawan2 yg kasi pinjam terus. saya beli suar kat uptown je, yg boleh lipat perut tu. rega i think from $25 up. tgk jenis kain. lagi, saya beli suar yg ada tali. tp ini pun nasib gak, kalau nasib peha tak naik mendadak buleh la pakai, if not kejap je la merasa pastu simpan dlm lemari sampai lepas pantang. (dgn harapan)

apa2 pun yg penting, tepuk poket sendiri. kalau rasa mampu dan patut beli baju beratus2, sila lah. beli kat kitorang sekali ya hahaha

but if u'r not, fret not, there's still lots of alternative to choose from. cuma kena pandai dan rajin cari. and anda beruntung kalau jenis yg perut tak besar mana, byk lagi pilihan

widen your choice, jenguk every kedai possible. u'l never know what u might find.even kedai cokia kat baling tu pun, i manage to get a good blouse. and my feveret blouse bought at the store, cap apa tah. toyogo?
for upper class, i like FYI and this particular brand.. alah lupa pulak apa nama dia.. rasa mcm kat sogo and parkson penah nmpak. it has great line of mid length blouse made from chiffon, cotton and all. boleh  pakai pegi ofis, boleh pakai pegi merendek jua. and i still wear them now. pricewise dlm $89-100+ selai. gud investment i'l say.

and kat internet pun byk org jual maternity blouse cantik2. gugel je..

dan juga rajin2 check for discounts and sales. i once got this mothercare blouse at 60% disc beb!. i end up pay only $67 for a $200+ shirt!. tu je la sekali beli baju  kat situ. tp mmg sedap pakai la, cutting cantik jatuh terletak je. patut la mahai kan.. berbaloi la..

hope this helps. nanti ku balik tgk cap baju tu ya.

so.. chiaoooo!
