Save Big Bucks On Your Pregnancy Dresses
Maternity clothes are probably the biggest money drain
for any pregnant woman. Not only do they have a small
shelf-life (after all, you will use them only for a few months)
they also tend to become old-fashioned in a jiffy.
So how does someone plan their pregnancy wardrobe without
allowing it to make a big dent in their budget?
Consider borrowing from friends or relatives. Almost
everyone hangs on to their maternity clothes and they will
gladly allow you borrow it for some time.
Plunder your husband or your partner’s closets for baggy
shirts, large-size shorts, and roomy socks. Frequent yard sales
and garage sales where housewives might be disposing their
maternity wear.
Run the clothes through a good dry cleaning service - you
don’t want to catch all the germs, mites, dust, etc that might
have collected on old clothes. Open the seams of your old
clothes - you might be surprised at how long you can wear your
regular clothes when you are bulging with pregnancy fat if you
can make them roomier.
Stepping out for a party and you need something more trendy?
Well,consider buying last season’s pregnancy dresses.
Everyone at the party will be busy cooing over your pregnancy
glow to even notice your clothes.
Also, you might be excused because everyone buys pregnancy
dresses well in advance and if you are just a season behind,
well, that’s actually quite sweet. And anyhow, pregnant mothers
are forgiven a lot more than out-of- fashion pregnancy dresses,
so relax!
