Annee Matthew Maternity Review

Hey, guys, remember I told you that I discovered quite a few lesser known maternity brands that I’m loving so much I will be featuring them throughout my pregnancy? And not only featuring but giving you all an opportunity to score some goodies as well!

Well, here’s one of them!

Annee Matthew Maternity Review

I remember how daunting it was: the concept of buying clothes that looked bad, felt uncomfortable, cost too much and would only be worn for a maximum of a few months before being put away in the furthest corner of my closet to hopefully never be seen again. Oh the fear of maternity clothes! And how surprised I was to find out that “Hey, maternitywear does come in pre- and post- version too”.

But then somebody dropped a bomb on me:”If you’re going to be breastfeeding, you will need to buy a whole new wardrobe to be nursing friendly”  !BAM!

That’s where Annee Matthew maternity clothing comes in and that’s one of the things that I LOVE about it. It can be worn before pregnancy, during pregnancy, during the “whale period” of pregnancy AND while breastfeeding, it’s comfortable, it’s affordable, it fits like a glove and it’s super cute.

For some of you this might not come as a surprise, but as a first time mom who pretty much never had to deal with babies or pregnant friends (most of my friends are still waiting to have babies), this seemed really cool!

Check it out:

You lift up the flap on the shirt to expose your wondrous nutritious BOOBIES through special openings any time you need to breastfeed in public (or private). Your probably still squishy tummy stays hidden by the shirt, your baby is happily nursing away and you’re still looking fabulous ( picture below right)

So this was a new concept to me and a fun one too!

Next:  Softness! Aaaaahhhh! I literally melted! One word: organic bamboo ( ok, that’s two words). It’s made out of luxurious, eco-friendly bamboo fibers and probably the softest, most pleasant-to-touch piece of clothing in my whole wardrobe ( not kidding!)

We all know how sensitive our skin gets the second we get pregnant (ugh), and this shirt is like wearing a cloud ( again, not kidding).

It’s really incredibly comfortable. When I first got it, I kept prancing around the house and twirling ( yes at 22 weeks pregnant) and just enjoying the feel of it. It also fit me PERFECTLY! The fabric is really nice and stretchy, so I’d imagine it would hug everyone’s curves just the right way.

Next: Another thing I noticed is that the flap in the front sort of concealed my belly in a good way. I was 22 week pregnant while taking these photos and I was showing quite a bit. However, I could totally pull off the “what? I’m not pregnant!” look, which means that when I am really big, I’d hope that this shirt would make me look less like an elephant (I’m tired of the “whale” methaphor) and more like a … umm… you know…whatever is smaller and cuter than an elephant. A baby elephant? You get my point!

And post partum is going to be another story. I’ll probably live in this shirt, deny that I still look 5 months pregnant and keep telling myself that I am back to my prebaby shape. Because it makes you look THAT good.

Annee Matthew store has all kinds of styles: short sleeved, long sleeved, dresses, casual, dressy. I didn’t get to to try out the dresses ( remember, I am a dress addict?), but they look just as comfy.
My absolute favorite is Vanna Dress.

  10. Ok so I have never heard of her stuff before. However, I ordered something right away! I ordered the pashmina scarf to use as a nursing cover. It’s gorgeous, and will totally come in handy for chilly Northern California outtings. I also really love the “shimmer top”…will have to add that to my amazon wish list. 🙂

  12. Thank you so much for posting about this company. I’m getting incredibly tired of my clothing options right now at almost 28 weeks pregnant, and I’m thinking ahead to my post-partum/nursing options and feeling even worse!

    I want to only buy stuff right now that will work immediately after birth AND beyond, and I haven’t seen much that fits that criteria.

    Can I pick 2 favorites from the Annee Matthew website? The Kate dress and the Kelly Two-Tone Tee. Both are so cute and look like stuff I’d wear even if I wasn’t forced to pick pregnancy and nursing clothes.

  16. I love the bamboo pleated bib tunic like you’re modeling. That’s BRILLIANT! I am breastfeeding and I had NO IDEA that you needed special clothes to breastfeed, but of course I found out! It is not easy to plan your outfit when you need to be able to whip those out at a moment’s notice, LOL! (Especially in public!)
    I just recently took forever to find a dress to wear for Josh and my anniversary coming up in November! (But I did find one that is not maternity and is low cut enough to be able for me to nurse easily!)

  20. “your wondrous nutritious BOOBIES” Hehehe that’s one way of describing them lol Wish i had had that when I was preggo!
