I was talking to another mom the other day about pregnancy. We were commenting on how some women just glow during pregnancy. You look in their eyes and you see how much they enjoy being pregnant. They look and feel fabulous. And then there the rest of us…who are just trying to survive. I’m in the second category. Please don’t get me wrong. I am so thankful that I am pregnant and that it was relatively easy for us (despite the fact that I was very sick for the first 4+ months and am now on restricted activity). I don’t take the miracle of pregnancy for granted, and I know that we are truly blessed to be expecting a second child. With that said, sometimes, a pregnant woman needs a little help feeling beautiful. I didn’t allow myself much of that during my first pregnancy. I was on bedrest, which meant I really didn’t have a reason to get all dressed up with nowhere to go.
This time is different. Yes, I’m on restricted activity, but that doesn’t mean I am confined to my bed. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to get out and mingle a little. And thanks to Pouch, I have a gorgeous (and I seriously mean stunning) Classic Versatile Dress to wear to a variety of occasions. This dress is unlike any I’ve seen in that it can be worn throughout the entire pregnancy (and after!) and in a variety of ways. Here is a little more information from the site:
Using the bandeau top and layered apron with ties, you can create many looks, flattering to your new curves and busy lifestyle. Try it as a halter, strapless, front wrap, one-shoulder, Grecian halter and skirt. Dress it up or down with jewelry, tees, tanks and jackets. Day to evening, office to errands, lunch with the girls or a weekend getaway…The Versatile Dress can do it all.
I’ve worn this dress to both casual, informal events and upscale events. I’ve also worn it at least three different ways so far (but there are at least seven). My favorite way to wear it is as a halter. It’s comfortable, flattering, and very easy to “wear.” This might be TMI, but it’s nice to have a dress with enough support that I don’t need to wear a bra. It just makes the dress that much more flattering. It’s cool enough to wear in the summer (believe me…it’s been so hot here lately) but you could easily put a sweater over it and be warm. The material is very stretchy, so as long as you measure according to the site, you should be able to wear this dress throughout the entire duration of the pregnancy. Here is a little video on how to wear the dress:
The Classic Versatile Dress retails for $150 (remember that you’ll be able to wear it for a long time, in several different ways, for multiple occasions) and is available in four colors. And with so many wearing options, you’ll feel like you have a new dress each time you try a different style. I’ll definitely be wearing it after our little baby is born!

Ooh! that is soooo cool!!! I love it! And the fact that you can wear it without a bra is a big deal to me. Like you, I’ve was “amply blessed” in the chest department, and it’s hard to ever find anything supportive enough to wear without a bra…especially while pregnant!
What an interesting concept. I would say my wife was in the second group of women as well, the just trying to get by crowd. I watched this whole video thinking to myself, now if they can just figure out a way to change colors with a simple fliparoo or a twist! 🙂 That’ll be next, right.
That really is a great dress, and perfect that you ( or I ) could wear it without a bra — I have a hard time with that, too.
The photo is gorgeous… you certainly are a “Rockin’ Mama”!!!
