When you were pregnant, did you ever use the Bella band (aka, that thing that fits over your “regular size” pants and makes them last longer)?
Well, I am no longer pregnant, but I use the Bella band several times a week… as a tube top under my low-cut tops and dresses!
See how I turn one of maternity’s staple pieces into an easy, everyday fashion accessory… for those of us who are not expecting!

What a fab idea!!! Thanks for sharing!
I AM pregnant so I need to invest in a NEW Bella Band since my other one got SO much use out of it. Thanks for that tip! 🙂

Ingenious! I am pregnant, but haven’t bought a Bella Band….yet. Now I have another reason to get one!
Very creative (and practical), Amy!! 🙂 I never had a Bella band with any of my 3, but I do have a fitted cami that I use for the same effect! 🙂 Can’t wait to meet you next week!

Great idea! I will totally use that! Thank you!
Great idea! Nice to know it has another good use for beyond pregnancy…a good motivation to go ahead and get one during this pregnancy.
You are just too cute, Amy.
See you at Blissdom!
What a wonderful idea! I am very well endowed and end up wearing a camisole with everything. I don’t have a Bella Band but definitely plan on using one with the next pregnancy so I may go ahead and get it!
And your top is SO VERY CUTE! Love it!

Dude AWESOME!!! I’m not sure it would have the same effect over my ginormous boobs but I’ll give it a try! You are so smart.

I didn’t have a bella band while pregnant, but found a small one for $1 (new!!) afterwards. I use mine for the opposite end. I wear it down on my hips to act as an undershirt for my now too-short tops. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a problem holding the boobies in. 😉
I am getting one this weekend!! Well, at least an off-brand. 🙂

I was so happy to see this as a related post because I kind of thought I was the only one out there still rocking the bella band 2 years after having the baby. Thanks 🙂
