Pregnancy and breastfeeding deserve clothes designed for you. Our selection maternity mode offering comfortable cuts, soft fabrics and clever features (discreet breastfeeding openings, stretchy waistband) — without sacrificing style.
Pregnancy and the months following childbirth bring about dramatic changes to the body. Your usual clothes no longer fit, and traditional maternity wear often lacks style or practicality. At PetitMaxou, we select pieces that combine all three: absolute comfort, functionality (particularly for breastfeeding) and a polished look.
A few key pieces are essential during pregnancy. The breastfeeding T-shirts and tunics with discreet openings (buttons, slits, double layers) allow you to feed baby anywhere without having to undress completely. The maternity dresses in soft materials (jersey, viscose, stretch cotton) accommodate the growing bump throughout pregnancy — and often remain wearable after birth.
Don't forget the nursing bras wireless and comfortable, essential from the final months of pregnancy. And for everyday wear, maternity leggings with a stretchy waistband offer incomparable comfort.
The general rule: take your usual size for clothes specifically designed for maternity (they are already cut to accommodate the bump). For adaptable clothing (which adapts to pregnancy / post-pregnancy), also take your usual size. Avoid buying too big «just in case» — good maternity clothes are designed to evolve with you.
Comfort doesn't mean a lack of style. Opt for luxury fabrics (organic cotton, modal, viscose) that drape well and flatter the silhouette. Empire cuts (fitted just below the bust) accentuate a rounded bump. Subtle prints and solid colours lend themselves to any occasion, from everyday wear to professional meetings.
The weeks following childbirth require particular attention. The body needs to recover, and clothing should support it without restricting it. Prioritise loose, soft pieces, elasticated waists and fabrics that do not itch. This period passes quickly — give yourself permission to be comfortable.
