We get it: pregnancy is short-lived and you don’t want to be buying endless versions of clothes to get you through X, Y and Z, only for them to suddenly become redundant once your baby arrives. Not only is it bad for the planet, it’s just not economical.​

This is why our Kelsy dress is such a gem. A classic shirt dress with plenty of space for your growing bump, it comes with a side-sewn belt that ties above the bump, creating shape. Available in navy, khaki and new for this season, black. It’s a classic style that will see you through a working week with loafers, and into the weekend with a denim jacket and sneakers.​

…and once you’re a mum, the easy buttons make it one to keep sporting if you’re breast-feeding.​

Crafted from Tencel, one of our favourite eco-friendly fabrics, it’s low-maintenance and gives beautiful fluidity, just try it for yourself and see. Still on the fence? Remember you can rent Isabella Oliver staples for two-week periods if you don’t want to commit to a purchase, and recycle your pre loved pieces once you’re finished with them.​
