Book Description

April 8, 2003
When designer Liz Lange was thinking about getting pregnant for the first time, and watching her friends struggle with the available choices in maternity wear, she was shocked. With no shortage of baggy tops, gaudy bows, and pants with big panels, Liz was faced with the frustrating truth: “fashion” and “pregnancy” do not always make a compatible pair. Luckily for pregnant women all over, the result was Liz’s renowned collection of classic, comfortable maternity wear.

Now, Liz Lange’s Maternity Style presents all of Liz’s personal and professional insights for women who refuse to relinquish chic simply because they are expecting. In her direct, upbeat voice, Liz shows how to make the most of a “difficult, fashion-challenged time” without replacing your entire wardrobe. Celebrating the swelling belly so many maternity clothes attempt to camouflage, her tasteful approach shows pregnant women how to dress both to accentuate and to slim their changing bodies (including those pesky postpartum months spent working your way back into your favorite jeans).

Liz Lange’s Maternity Style provides advice on everything from color choice to accessories, casual Fridays to holiday parties, exercise or lounge wear to weekend staples—all building from a carefully selected wardrobe focused on mixing and matching, sensibility and style. Lively illustrations, fun celebrity photos, and great features, like must-have pieces and splurge vs. save items, all add up to a friendly, eminently useful, and fun-to-read guide.

A much-needed handbook for the roller coaster ride that is pregnancy, Liz Lange’s Maternity Style will help you keep your sense of style and self.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, July 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Liz Lange's Maternity Style: How to Look Fabulous During the Most Fashion-Challenged Time (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed with this book. I see pictures of clothes and do not know where to find them or if I can even afford them. I see celebrities who had tons of help to look good but no real women.

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated and useless, December 7, 2009
This review is from: Liz Lange's Maternity Style: How to Look Fabulous During the Most Fashion-Challenged Time (Paperback)
I was also extremely disappointed with this book, it's not inspiring at all.
Most of the looks you found in this book, will make you look fat, and old.
And to give you an example of the advices given " Holiday and special occasions, page 113 : "purse : a small, simple bag in a complementary color will provide enough room for powder and lipstick" or "stockings: go bare unless the temperature is below zero, you can get away with naked legs for one night", I don't really get how this is helping me in dealing with my new body.
