comfy and soft

I'm a size 14 and bought the M. I really love the fit of this dress, it's a little generous which I love as it doesn't wrap around my body tightly, comfy even on a hot day. The fabric is beautiful and feels silky. Great value!

Great modern design

I've always been a tomboy and it's so refreshing to find maternity stuff that doesn't make me look like a cupcake! Absolutely love this dress! Great design, great fabric!

Made for nursing

I wore it towards the end of my pregnancy and I loved it but now, 4 weeks after birth THIS dress is my going-out staple! Loose fitting so it doesn't emphasize my post-baby shape, and because he's cluster feeding I always have to be ready and the nursing feature of this dress is amazing! Can't recommend it highly enough!!

the perfect work dress

I'm 27 weeks and I needed a comfy but elegant dress for work. I love the cut, the fabric is super nice and almost wrinkle free which is a huge win for me over a cotton dress!

A great summer dress

Amazing fabric! 32 weeks in it's so hard to find a dress that doesn't make me feel itchy on a 30-degree day! It's light and comfortable!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Oeko-Tex certification?
remove
add

Where stated in the product description, our maternity clothes are made from fabrics which hold an OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. The relevant tests are conducted and the certificates issued by independent OEKO-TEX® test institutes.

The certification means that the fabrics we use have been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. Currently 82% of our products are made from OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics.

Do you offer seasonal collections? 
remove
add

No. Our minimalist approach focuses on the essentials, the key maternity and breastfeeding clothes that every pregnant woman and mother needs. Our designs are versatile and timeless, transcending seasons and providing comfort year-round.

Based on your size chart I'm between sizes. What should I do?
remove
add

Have a think about how you prefer your clothes to fit. For a slightly relaxed fit please order the bigger size (recommended for maximum comfort) and for a tighter look please go down a size.

Would your size small fit me if I was a small before getting pregnant?
remove
add

Yes. We adjusted the fit and the standard sizing to allow for the changes your body is going through during pregnancy and after. Please refer to the size chart for measurements.

Is bamboo a sustainable fabric?
remove
add

Now, that’s a tricky one.

The benefits of using bamboo are well known: it needs only rainwater (no excessive watering like cotton) to grow, requires very little fertilization, renewable meaning that once harvested it self-regenerates from its own roots, no need to replant it, and if produced the right way bamboo garments biodegrade naturally.

Unfortunately regular bamboo viscose (most common bamboo fabric) is produced through a highly intensive chemical process and can pose a risk to human health.

All of our bamboo fabrics are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, which ensures through excessive testing that they’re free of harmful substances for human health.

That means no nasty chemicals on our sensitive skins while keeping all the amazing qualities of bamboo: it’s breathable, super stretchy and buttery soft, durable and absorbs moisture.

It is not an organic fibre and therefore not a perfect solution, but we believe that combined with our very conscious waste reduction approach and ethical production methods, our bamboo maternity clothes are sustainable.

Do you offer international shipping?
remove
add

Yes, we do! Our Australian maternity clothes are available all over the world! If your country is not on our list, please contact us via email and we'll organise shipping for you.

What kind of packaging do you use?
remove
add

All orders are shipped in HeapsGood Ecomailers - plant-based, compostable bags, and wrapped in tissue paper. What’s better, postage is carbon-neutral through Australia Post. 

Can I wear your styles postpartum?
remove
add

Absolutely! We offer sustainable maternity clothes with the long journey of motherhood in mind. This doesn't just include the pregnancy but the important stages afterwards: the recovery, breastfeeding, pumping and most-importantly being a busy mum.
