Here is a neat little item made especially for women in all stages of pregnancy. Made by Ingrid and Isabel, the BellaBand™ is basically a piece of fabric worn around the growing belly. As simple as it is in design, it actually serves several purposes. It keeps the tummy from popping out when wearing regular clothes that do not quite fit for an ever expanding stomach, it prevents underwear from being visible, it is a layering must-have for pregnant women, and it holds up pants and skirts that are slightly too big.

A comfortable fit with no seams, the tummy hugging band in light-weight, breathable spandex and nylon knit, is stretchy but does not constrict the stomach. It is worn both fashionably to be seen by others and discreetly underneath clothing to keep unbuttoned pants and skirts in place. It is also ideal for tops that are no longer long enough to cover the stomach. Lastly, it is perfect for smoothing out bunched up material from clothing that might be a little too big.

In plain knit or lace, the Winter 2008 colours are now available.
