Since 2005, we have been providing maternity clothes to generations of expectant mothers around the globe. Drawing on our extensive experience, we have created this pregnancy guide to assist you in selecting the best size for your needs. We understand that online shopping can be challenging, even when not pregnant, so we've included some helpful tips below!
for maternity dresses and tops
- For maternity clothing we recommend staying with your pre-pregnancy size. As all pregnancies are unique and individual, maternity clothes are designed on a normal pregnancy weight gain range. Although it can be tempting to order a size up, only do so if you prefer a relaxed fit or if you have a very large bust. If you feel you have gained extra weight or are having twins then we do recommend choosing a size up from your regular size.
for maternity jeans
- When buying jeans you may find the fit a little 'snug' at first but please remember that the denim does stretch and get softer with each wear. We advise staying with your regular Australian pre-pregnancy size and a tip is they shouldn't slip down as you walk. Our maternity jeans style guide can be found here.
for maternity pants and leggings
- For pants and leggings some ladies prefer over belly styles for more support whilst others prefer nothing touching their belly - and this is fine, your preference can change in the later trimesters especially as your skin gets more tight, itchy and sensitive. Some underbelly leggings are perfect at this stage and great to wear post birth when your body is recovering.
for nursing wear
- Discreet feeding access is perfect for when you’re on the go or when visitors come by during feeding time. We want our mamas to feel confident breastfeeding anytime, anywhere. At this stage, some women may experience a doubling of their cup size! If this happens, we recommend ordering a size up from your pre-pregnancy size, especially for snug-fitting tops or dresses.
for recovery garments
- During that awkward post-birth phase we offer products to support your recovery so you can focus on your little one! Most of these items are compression garments, which may appear small when you first take them out of the package, but they work effectively once worn. Please refer to the specific size charts on the product pages for these items. It’s helpful to grab a tape measure to ensure you get the right size. And, as always, feel free to call or chat with us if you have any questions!
for nursing and maternity bras
-Finding the right bra can be challenging, as many women experience a gradual increase in cup size throughout their pregnancy. Additionally, when your milk comes in, your cup size can even double! All of our bras are wire-free and feature a stretchy under-bust band that comfortably adapts to your changing shape. For the perfect fit, be sure to check the specific size guides for each bra located at the bottom of the product description. Plus read our blog here for tips on choosing a maternity and nursing bra.

Lastly, these sizing notes are a guide only so please also refer to the brand size charts and descriptions on each product page as the editor will mention any variations in sizes for particular designs.
