Fashionable Plus Size Maternity Clothing for the Full Figured

Finding good-quality, high-fashion maternity clothing can be hard enough-but it can be especially daunting if you're in the market for plus-size wear. A number of maternity clothing manufacturers-especially the trendier ones-simply don't understand the full-figured body. Thankfully, some companies are coming to the fore to address the special needs of plus-size pregnant women.

Baby Becoming is a company that caters to full-figured mothers-to-be. The company is operated by three generations of women-grandmother Lorice oversees financial matters; mother Charlotte designs the clothes; and daughter Clorice has been the CEO since the age of two.

The women who take phone orders and work in the warehouse are mothers too, so they are cognizant of the demands placed upon today's childbearing women.

Specially Designed

Baby Becoming clothing is tailor-made for the full-bodied woman. Each pattern is designed from scratch and can take over a year to develop. The styles, colors, and fabrics are especially chosen to flatter full figures.

The company's founder says she was inspired by her own struggle to find clothing that fit while she herself was pregnant. She began by creating novelty t-shirts, then expanded the line to include a variety of fashions. The idea behind Baby Becoming is that the bodies of plus-size women change in a unique way during pregnancy, and that maternity clothes must be designed with those changes in mind.

Shattering Styling Myths

Baby Becoming specializes in shattering styling myths. For instance, the company recognizes that a larger-size woman will typically lose weight during the first few months of pregnancy, so it designs its clothes accordingly. As a pregnancy proceeds, a plus-size woman may develop a larger chest and a fuller bottom. Consequently, Baby Becoming designs its clothes to accommodate a large-size woman's changing body.
