Bella Band Instead Of Maternity Pants? By kateri27 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
the bella band comes in five different colors and makes my favorite jeans look pretty darn normal even when I can't button them.
I am four months pregnant and I love the comfort of maternity clothes, but I am not quite ready to give up all of my designer jeans just yet. the bella band (I got a size 3) fits over your existing jeans and looks like another shirt. You don't even need to button your shirt. The layered look is in and I really feel that this looks like a layered shirt.
the fabric is nice and stretchy and I have been able to use it even in these early stages of my pregnancy. It is also great because I can wear my normal shirts that are getting a little short even longer.
I was a little worried about buying this off the internet. I wanted to try it on first. I was lucky in that it fit, and that it was on sale. Depending on your stage in pregnancy I would recommend that you go to a store to try it on before you buy it.

Congrats on the pregnancy. I've never heard of this before but I'm glad to hear you like it.
This sounds great - I didn't hear about it until I was almost through my pregnancy - bummer for me.
Have never heard of these, would love to see a picture!!
These seem very practical, but I would think that they would feel strange.
I'd love to see a picture - I didn't know something like this existed. Wow - they think of everything.
I don't even think these existed when I was pregnant-what a fantastic idea!
Since the layered look is red hot these bands help expectant moms feel fashionable while getting extra mileage out of "normal" clothes. Great idea and a very good buy Kateri.
