The Bella Band by Ingrid and Isabel is the most versatile maternity accessory you'll use throughout your entire pregnancy. Perfect at every stage, our ultra-soft seamless knit band is designed to stretch and recover repeatedly as your belly blooms in pregnancy and recuperates after baby.
When your pants, skirts or shorts aren't fitting just so, slip this little number on over your waistband. Instant hold, instant comfort, instantly smooth.
Newly pregnant: Ideal with pre-pregnancy jeans, pants, skirts and shorts that are unbuttoned and even unzipped a bit. Wear any pre-pregnancy favorite as long as your bum and hips allow. At this stage, we like the Bella Band folded over adding an extra layer to disguise bulky unfastened buttons and zippers. It also adds strength to hold up your pants. Great with transition wear that may fall down around your hips if you're still small but enjoy the comfort of an expanded waistline.
Definitely pregnant: Great with so many maternity styles. The Bella Band conceals excess fabric, smooths out panels and elastic waistbands, and holds up any style that might feel a bit loose. Great with any transition wear that may be tight; unbutton them to get a little more use! At this stage, the Bella Band works folded over or in a single layer... whatever feels good. It's also comfortable with drawstring pants that fall below the belly-the Bella Band holds them up!
So very pregnant: Sometimes that belly pushs under-the-belly styles down around your hips. Use the Bella Band as an extra reinforcement over your maternity waistband. Try a single layer covering the belly and waistband if you want some support. Otherwise, double-layer over your under-the-belly waistband.
Recovering Belly Babes:
OK, so you can't leave the hospital in pre-pregnacy clothes (and if you can, we don't want to hear about it). Bring your Bella Band to the hospital. Wear with maternity that is too big and pre-pregnancy that can't fasten around your waist. You'll have more clothes to choose from, and feel better with it on. Nursing mom? There are fabulous new styles that allow you to nurse inconspicuously. For the days you don't have one of them on and need to lift from below, the Bella Band hides your recovering belly so you can feel better about how you look.

Guidelines
Every belly and body grows and recuperates differently. How the Bella Band feels on your body is very personal. So, consider these points when selecting a size:
General Fit
The Bella Band should fit comfortably snug around your growing waistline and hips so it can effectively hold your pants up, disguise unfastened jeans, skirts and shorts, and create a smooth belly surface. One size should last throughout your pregnancy and after baby.
Borderline Sizes
If your pre-pregnancy size borders Bella Band sizes think about how you like your pants to fit. Size up if you think a snug fit will bother you. Stay true to size if you want that extra support that a snug fit offers.
Too tight!
The Bella Band, while snug, should always be comfortable. If it's too snug and uncomfortable, try a size up. We want you comfy and happy, not miserable because it's tight AND you can't find anything to wear!
Pregnant with Multiples!
Women with multiples often say they feel more comfortable wearing a Bella Band than wearing nothing at all! The support alone can be a relief.
If you're pregnant with more than one baby, you will experience a drastic increase in size, but you'll start out just like everyone else... unable to button your pants! At first, try a Bella Band that's appropriate for your pre-pregnancy size. This may last you throughout your pregnancy. If it ever becomes too tight, consider buying an additional band one size larger for mid and late pregnancy. If you decide to size up immediately due to your size early in pregnancy, just make sure it will perform for you in the beginning.
