Dressing gowns for pregnant women
A woman, waiting for her future baby, must have time to do a lot: prepare the nursery, buy a dowry, collect all the necessary supplies in the hospital. Manufacturing factories offer maternity gowns, shirts and pajamas of various styles and models.
It is worth taking a responsible approach to the choice of home textiles, so that it is not only convenient to spend the first days with your baby in it, but also looks great. Let's look at this issue in more detail.
Models
For connoisseurs of comfort, especially in the cold season, designers offer special warm dressing gowns for pregnant and lactating women. They are made of terry, velor fabric or with the addition of bamboo. These fabrics are completely natural, very soft and will not cause child allergies.
There are some rules for choosing a warm robe: its pile should not be very high, and it is better to select the sleeves of a medium length (for convenience when measuring pressure or the need to put a dropper).
The wrap-around robe is a classic, but some opt for a zip-up model. Both options are convenient both during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. If the dressing gown is designed for the warm season, then it is better to choose exclusively natural cotton material (or in combination with bamboo). It is pleasant to the body and will be as comfortable as possible in it. Manufacturers offer models with a hood, pockets, in various colors and with any pattern applied.
For a photo shoot before or after childbirth, you can choose an elegant set with the addition of lace along the neckline or with a buttonhole closure. Usually, chiffon or satin is used for sewing such sets, because the main emphasis is on beautiful pictures, and not on practicality.
Kits for pregnant and lactating mothers
Designers offer pregnant women a choice of sets: a dressing gown with a chemise, pajamas or nightie. Each of them has its own advantages.
Robe and nightgown
A dressing gown from such a set is most often made with a smell, but there are models with buttons or zippers. The straps on the nightgown are usually thin or have a small gather, the bodice is completed with clip-on fasteners for comfortable feeding.
Bathrobe and nightie
The kit is not much different from the first option. In this, as in the previous case, you can choose the length and style of the robe to your liking. Nightgowns are usually complemented by a scent on the chest or neat buttons that can be easily unfastened when feeding. It is better to choose options with a supportive gather under the bust - this will beautifully shape the top of the product and give it a feminine touch.
Pajamas and bathrobe
When choosing kits with a combination of a robe and pajamas, be aware that they are not intended for a maternity hospital. They are convenient to wear as home clothing during pregnancy or during breastfeeding.
The undershirt, designed for feeding, has special fasteners and is usually either flared at the bottom or completely wide cut. Whether it's trousers or short shorts, their elastic is designed for the entire period of pregnancy and is located in the lower abdomen. The dressing gown is made in the same color scheme.
Fabrics
It is better to opt for products made from natural materials. Due to the fact that frequent contact with the child is expected during wearing, the fabric should not cause him an allergy.
Cotton is one of the most practical and natural fabrics. The material is very durable and chemically resistant. The advantages of a cotton robe or pajamas will be its breathability, softness and lightness. However, with improper care, the material can shrink, and after washing it wrinkles very much.
The velor set is very soft to the touch and comfortable to wear. Such fabric does not lose its shape and does not stretch over time, it is easy to clean and, moreover, does not wrinkle. Very often this fabric is used when sewing products for newborns and children, because it does not cause irritation and is well breathable.
The advantage of knitted fabric is its ability to conform to the shape of the body. A set made of this fabric will last a long time without losing its shape. Knitwear is highly breathable, has elastic properties and is suitable even with a long pregnancy. Maintenance of such fabric is very simple, and ironing is not necessary after washing. When choosing such a kit, pay attention to the quality. Poor quality knitwear can cause allergies!
The disadvantages of lace are the lack of elasticity and a rough surface - it can irritate the baby's skin. This luxurious set made of lace is perfect for a "pregnant photo shoot" where you want to create a romantic and delicate look.
Length
Typically, maternity gowns are slightly below the knee or ankle length. Medium length is preferred. In a dressing gown of this length, it will be convenient to move around the house or hospital, it will be more comfortable to undergo an examination.
The floors of an elongated robe can get tangled when walking, but it can be indispensable in the cooler season.
Manufacturers
Often, the expectant mother, at the end of her pregnancy, already knows very well the manufacturers of high-quality goods. Here is some of them.
Factories of the city of Ivanovo. Having a huge number of related companies, they have proven themselves excellently. They offer quality knitwear in a wide variety of cuts at reasonable prices.
