WICKHAM DRESS ( D R 3 4 7 ) £119 JERSEY
Welcome to Isabella Oliver and congratulations on your pregnancy. This is such a special time in your life. During my first pregnancy I didn’t know what to wear or how to flatter my new curves. After three children and 12 years of dressing pregnant women around the world, please know that we are here to keep you in style and comfort. Not just for now but also all the way through your pregnancy and after. In this book we share everything we have learnt along the way. Enjoy and my very best for your pregnancy.

ABOUT ISABELLA OLIVER
Since we launched Isabella Oliver in 2003, we have been obsessed with giving pregnant women the very best in terms of style, fit, quality and comfort. STYLE – We design beautiful clothes that will flatter your curves throughout your pregnancy. The collection is designed to be versatile and work hard for you to suit all the occasions that come up in your day to day. FIT – Fit is everything. Not just now but all the way through your pregnancy. We use clever design techniques that allow the clothes to grow with you. So there’s no coming back for a bigger size later at Isabella Oliver. QUALITY – Did you know that your key maternity styles will be worn by you more than nearly everything else in your wardrobe? So the quality is very important and we invest only in the very best fabrics that stand the test of time. COMFORT – Keeping you in comfort is important to us, especially in the later stage months. So we pay attention to the little details such as a hidden shelf bra or extra ruching, so you don’t have to.
