I belong to a wine club of about a dozen of the prettiest women you’ve ever met. Somehow, perhaps because this is an alcohol-centric activity, at least one of us seems to be pregnant at any given meeting. One of the most recent members to make the transition to maternity wear showed up at a meeting wearing a smashing white wrap top that we all ooh’d and ahh’d over; when she pointed out that the wrapability would allow it to grow along with her little basketball of a belly, we were all swooning and scrambling to write down the name of the designer. Turns out Isabella Oliver makes tons of brilliantly designed, chic, sexy maternity clothes. While the wrap-around top (pictured) is what initially won us all over, the puff-sleeve and cutaway variations are equally amazing. A kimono-style wrap can be worn open or with a sash to accommodate your bump throughout your pregnancy, and the adjustable-waist Garbo trousers will take you through your whole 9-plus-month journey. The prettiest floor-length wrap dress is almost (almost!) enough to make me wish I were pregnant again. And we love the fact that most of these fashions are now on sale. But it’s the ingenious “Bump Band” set (just like the now-ubiquitous Bella Bands) that really make me wish I’d waited the extra four years until they’d been invented before having kids.
