There is no one perfect wardrobe for every mom, although some of the basic "kits" are helpful, combining a basic set of plain colored skirts, handbags, pants, shirts, etc. together. Then you accessorize around these basics, creating "different" outfits. Most women can get away with 3-4 pairs of pants, possibly a pair of jeans, several tops, and a nice dress or two. They even have maternity business suits and plus-sized clothing! Most women will begin wearing maternity clothes around four or five months. This will vary from woman to woman. A woman carrying her second or third baby or a larger number of multiples may need maternity clothes earlier than a first-time mom. Also, the type of maternity clothes you need will change. As you begin to expand and need bigger clothes, you can usually make do with unbuttoned jeans under a big sweater, or wearing clothes that are a bit big on you usually, or have elastic waists. As your baby grows, you will need to go for real maternity clothes. There are still many questions mothers-to-be have about the next nine months of fashion. When do you start wearing maternity clothes? How does one go about picking a maternity wardrobe? How much will all this cost?
