Chic Maternity Wear : Bloomwell Edit. This post is sponsored by Bloomwell. To learn more about my pregnancy go HERE.
Happy Friday!! Today on the blog I am sharing a new maternity brand that recently launched and specializes in chic clothing for the modern boss mom! The {female} founders of Bloomwell reached out to me a month or so ago and offered to send me some of the pieces from their recently launched maternity line. After talking with them, getting to know their brand and mission I knew I had to share this line and some of their pieces on Curls and Contours.
Bloomwell Chic Maternity Clothing
A strange thing happens when you get pregnant, all of the clothing that you once loved and cherished no longer fits your body. And its a weird feeling because you aren’t mad about it or upset, its a reality of pregnancy. Those pants that used to be your go to for high profile client meetings, or the dress that was your favorite for Fridays at the office are not available to you anymore. Bloomwell seeks to fill that void in your closet with sleek and smart pieces that compliment the pregnant figure and work from your second trimester(when you start bumpin) through the end of your pregnancy.
Before I got pregnant, I had all of these preconceived notions about what being pregnant would be like. What my body would look like and how I would handle all of that. Then I actually got pregnant, and all those “ideas” I had before about my body and pregnancy when straight out the window. As my son has grown and my body continues to change I am really starting to notice that people see my pregnancy before they see me, the entrepreneur, blogger, consultant and professional Anne. Being able to put on clothing that makes me feel like I am well dressed AND comfortable has become more and more important with each passing week. As a woman in this pregnant stage of life I am acutely aware of how little control I have over my body, nature has taken hold of me and my professional brain is along for this wild ride. Being able to dress in professional, high quality clothing is something I CAN control. Having professional clothing that makes me feel empowered and like myself is exactly what Bloomwell aims to do.
About Bloomwell
Bloomwell was founded and launched by two corporate women(who met at Louis Vuitton), turned best friends, turned mothers. Through their own pregnancies the founders of Bloomwell noticed a huge loss of style for the millennial mother, they took this gap in the fashion world and decided to do something about it. From their vast knowledge in the world of corporate fashion and the grit to start a business founded by women and FOR women Bloomwell came into the world. Read more of Tara and Miriam’s story HERE.
The Clothes
Ok, now what you have been waiting for! The Bloomwell team sent me some pieces to wear, style and review. It was so much fun styling these chic pieces over my bump and really getting to enjoy the attention to detail that has gone into each piece of clothing that was sent my way.
ELIZABETH TOP
The Elizabeth top is a woven polyester that is cut to flatter your body. The center pleat and unique neckline make this top perfect for a business meeting(paired with the Boss Mom pant) and a blazer or for date night with a pair of jeans and a red black heeled sandal. Even the sleeve details are special with this top, each cuff comes complete with a simple gold button for a little glam. I am wearing the XXL in this top and found it to fit EXACTLY the way I want my woven tops to fit, flowy and easy to move in. I wore a nude cami under the Elizabeth for extra coverage and support. If camis aren’t your thing this top does come in a stunning mauve color that really has just as much versatility as the gardenia(white)
BOSS MOM PANT
Every professional babe knows that you have got to have a good pair of work pants in your closet. Pants that pair easily with blazers and tops for work, a go to pair that you can pull out and wear and feel great in. Bloomwell anticipated this need and created the Boss Mom pant. A chic stretch trouser with a full maternity panel AND an anti slide band on the top hem to keep them from moving about or needing to be constantly readjusted. I love love this pant for work but have also styled it with a trench coat, mules and a v-neck tee for a more casual look. The thoughtful details really make this pant stand out from the stylish v cut(and ankle length) hemline to the sleek anti wrinkle fabric. I am wearing the size 16 in this garment and found it to be a perfect fit.

GABRIELLE DRESS
“Pregnant woman seeking comfortable and chic cocoon style dress that offers coverage but doesn’t sacrifice on style.”
Enter the Gabrielle dress, the most bump friendly dress in your closet that is going to be comfortable and stylish as you move through your pregnancy. This KNIT dress features a cocoon sleeves so you feel cozy and have the versatility to pull them up or down. I styled the Gabrielle with some metallic loafers to play up the silver color and can easily see wearing this look to Friday meetings or a working lunch. I am wearing the XXL in this dress and the fit works but the XL would have been good too, I have a sneaking suspicion I will be sooo glad to have the bigger size when I am between 37-40 weeks. The Gabrielle dress has a sweet adjustable bow(its in the back) neckline for a fun twist and customizable fit.
