Celebrities like Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani, and Halle Berry all have been spotted in Isabella Oliver. The best part about shopping Isabella Oliver is that they use a lettering system to let you know if the clothing can be worn post-pregnancy, and most of it can! Here’s what to look for when shopping on their site:

P- PREGNANT perfect during pregnancy
A- AFTER nursing or just after birth

the bird feed nyc — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:10:57 +0000

My Chic Maternity Clothes for Stylish Moms blogpost was so popular that I decided to write another post dedicated to Isabella Oliver, my favorite maternity clothing line. Their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection just debuted this week and it’s full of beautiful, chic, ready-to-wear fashion that is as flattering as it is functional. There is something for everyone- casual chic daytime wear, sexy evening dresses, jackets and accessories, and work clothes that you’ll want to keep wearing long after you’ve left the office. As I’ve mentioned before, one of the best things about the Isabella Oliver brand is that their clothing is conveniently marked with a lettering system to let you know if the clothing can be worn post-pregnancy. Such a simple detail that sets this site apart from others. Here’s what to look for:

P- PREGNANT perfect during pregnancy
A- AFTER nursing or just after birth
F- FOREVER wear even when not pregnant

I put together a collection of my favorite pieces from the Autumn/Winter line. Click links above the pictures to view the items on the Isabella Oliver site.
