12 Ways to Wear LulaRoe through Maternity and Postpartum
Y’all know how much I love me some LulaRoe. No, I’m not a consultant and no I don’t work for LulaRoe… I just genuinely love the clothes and the company. I wear their stuff all the time!
Anyway, I get emails, comments, and questions ALL. THE. TIME. from readers about how to wear LulaRoe through pregnancy / maternity and postpartum. And while I haven’t been pregnant in five months or so (you know, because Amos is five months old… haha!), I thought it would be helpful to put together some of my favorite LulaRoe pieces / outfits that I have worn to (hopefully) give you some inspiration!
I get a lot of questions about the earrings I wear – my earrings are from Nickel & Suede.
12 Ways to Wear LulaRoe through Pregnancy, Maternity, and Postpartum
1. The LulaRoe Ana Dress
This dress is one of my favorites and is so, so comfortable. I felt so beautiful in this dress through every stage of my pregnancy and is great for postpartum as well. The neckline is stretchy so it’s easy to stretch down for breastfeeding!
Works during all trimesters and postpartum, but looks amazing in the second and third trimesters!
2. The LulaRoe Nicole Dress
The Nicole dress is basically a short, flowy-skirt version of the Ana dress. The Nicole is one of my FAVORITE dresses and I wear it all the time. I truly think the Nicole dress is flattering on all body types and during all stages!
Works during all trimesters and postpartum, but looks amazing in the second and third trimesters!
3. The LulaRoe Amelia Dress
The Amelia dress is best for the first trimester and early parts of the second trimester. Depending on the material of the Amelia, the pleats can fall funny in later trimesters. I loved wearing my Amelia dresses early on! Plus, it has POCKETS!!!! Pockets are the best.
4. LulaRoe Leggings
Leggings are LIFE. Seriously. I wear the tall and curvy leggings because I like the way they fit me best… and they worked well during all three trimesters and were AMAZING in the hospital and especially those first weeks postpartum.
5. The LulaRoe Julia Dress
The Julia dress was basically MADE for pregnancy. I mean, not ACTUALLY, but it just looks SO cute on pregnant women! It’s so flattering and hugs your curves and your belly during pregnancy. My Julia dresses made me feel so confident and beautiful.
6. The LulaRoe Randy Tee
I LOVE the Randy tee – it’s GREAT for casual and everyday looks and it is so stretchy so it worked throughout my whole pregnancy. The hem line is also a little longer, so stretching didn’t affect the length much at all.
7. The Stretchy LulaRoe Amelia Dress
So, Amelia dresses tend to come in different fabrics. Some fabrics are “stiffer” (the Aztec print Amelia dress shown above is a stiffer material), and some fabrics are very stretchy. This particular Amelia dress is SO stretchy! So, I wore this dress a lot during pregnancy and it worked even in later trimesters… If you are shopping online, as your consultant what the material is if you’re wondering. I always ask if the material is stiff or stretchy. That helps me judge what size to get, too. If it’s stiffer, I tend to size up, if it’s stretchy, I tend to stick to my normal size or size down.
8. The LulaRoe Perfect Tee and LulaRoe Leggings
I absolutely LOVE to wear LulaRoe Perfect Tee and it is a favorite year ’round, but was GREAT for pregnancy. It has a very flared bottom and slits on the sides of the shirt which work great for ANY belly size. It’s also super flattering postpartum because it hides that postpartum belly really well. It’s also longer and covers the bum so it’s perfect for wearing with leggings. 🙂
9. The LulaRoe Amelia Dress Worn BACKWARDS for Breastfeeding!
Now, y’all know I wear LulaRoe and it has been great postpartum. The Amelia dress is my favorite style and it is great for nursing because you can just turn the dress around and wear it BACKWARDS. Just zip the dress up 3/4 of the way and tuck the upper corners in… this makes the dress like a v-neck and is perfect for easy access for breastfeeding.
10. The LulaRoe Irma Tunic, LulaRoe Lindsay Kimono, and LulaRoe Leggings
I’ve already written a lot about this, but the Irma tunic, Lindsay Kimono, and Leggings are so great for postpartum. I wore this in the hospital and in those first days home from the hospital and, well… all the time. 🙂 Stretch, stretch, stretch. The Irma tunic was also awesome during pregnancy because it’s so forgiving!
11. LulaRoe Mommy & Me Nicole & DotDotSmile Dress
And then there’s dressing up with your little one… I LOVE matching Lilly and pretty much match her any chance I get.
12. LulaRoe Mommy & Me Nicole & DotDotSmile Dress
And just showing another wear to wear the Nicole and DotDotSmile… wearing them as skirts! 🙂
So what do you think? Are you a LulaRoe fan? How do YOU like to wear LulaRoe? Have you worn LulaRoe through pregnancy or postpartum? What are your favorite pieces?
With the Randy, did you size up or stay with your true size? I’m torn as I don’t mind it clinging to me but don’t want it to be too short in the front. Love this blog!
I wore my true size 🙂
Did you have any issues with your stretching out too much? I L❤VE LuLaRoe, but I don’t want to ruin my leggings by wearing them too long!
I have not had those issues! 🙂
You look so cute in your pictures! Loved reading this article! Can I share this on my VIP page?
thank you so much! absolutely 🙂 I just ask that you link back to my blog!
You are seriously adorable! I love all these looks! I’m really wanting to LOVE lularoe stuff but sometimes it just looks too much like pjs to me. You look so cute and put together in all these looks! I pinned your outfits to give me direction next time I go to buy some lularoe!!
oh i totally understand! and thank you for the comment 🙂 it definitely depends on how you style it and the prints and everything!! 🙂
I am 5 foot 11 and pre-pregnancy 170 lbs. Usually a size 4-6 in dresses. I just ordered a Medium Amelia and I am praying it will fit. I tried on an Amelia a couple months back and I think it was a medium and it was tight but I don’t think it was stretchy. What size do you have on?
a medium should definitely fit you! I usually wear a large or XL 🙂
Oh great! I ordered one from the elegance collection and I was just praying it would fit for a holiday party this weekend.
Love this! I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy. I susually wear a sm/med pre pregnancy and I’m at a med/lg maternity. I’m looking for some leggings and Irmas for comfy post partum. The OS leggings have been a little uncomfortable under the belly but not sure I need to go TC. And help would be awesome!
I wear TC across the board so I might not be the best to ask but you could always try and then exchange if OS is better? 🙂
I usually wear a size 10/12 and have no idea what size leggings to buy that would fit during my whole pregnancy. Any ideas? And have you been able to wear them post partum or did they stretch?
they didn’t stretch for me… i wear TC leggings and I’m usually a size 14… i’d think OS leggings would fit you well!!
Did you wear them over your belly?
I did! 🙂
Beautiful! As a nursing momma, dresses are a bit tricky, I look forward to the day when I don’t need “easy access” anymore!
You look amazing in all of these outfits! What size are you in other brands? I think we’re about the same size and height. 🙂
Im usually a size 14 or large / xl 🙂
How tall are you? I just found out that I’m pregnant with my first, and I love the look of the Ana dress on you! But I’m worried it’ll be way too long on me. I’m only a little under 5’2″. Any thoughts?! Thanks!
I’m 5’3″ 🙂
What size are you wearing in your pic? Did it drag the ground?
i am wearing a large. it hits right at the ground for me 🙂
You look great in all these pictures! But a question: did you find that wearing your dresses while pregnant stretched them out? I’d love to wear my Lularoe dresses throughout my pregnancy, but not if that’s going to ruin them!
hey meghan! i wore mine all through pregnancy and still wear them with no problems at all. they didn’t stretch out for me 🙂
Thanks! Good to know 🙂
Thanks for this post! I was just wondering if you think I should size up on dresses if I want them to fit me for maternity, or if the material is generally stretchy enough (aside from the stiffer fabrics) to wear my pre-pregnancy size. I’ve never tried LLR but I’m super excited. I love all the styles you shared!
I wore my normal size and they fit me well! That’s the best part of them being so stretchy! 🙂
Thank you so much!! Shared this on our LLR page. You are too cute!
I’m just being introduced to LLR and already ordered a couple of tops and leggings. Originally I planned only to buy my girly girl 4 year-old some leggings, but after hearing rave reviews I bought for myself too. Can’t wait for it all to come in the mail! P.S. Love the prints you got- so colorful!
You look fantastic – what size Amelia do you wear? Thinking of buying my first one!
Thank you! I wear a large or XL depending on the stretch of the material :
Hi there! I was wondering what size Nicole dress you wear? Trying to decide what size to get. Thank you!
Hey Melissa! I wear a size large Nicole 🙂 sometimes a size XL of the fabric is stiffer
You are just gorgeous!! Love your style! Your flats are amazing!! Thank you
so much for such an amazing review of a fantastic brand!
Thank you, Holly!
My daughter in-law is 7 month pregnant. She is only 5’2″ tall. What type of leggings I should get for her?
What size clothing does she wear? If she’s a size 10 or below, I’d get the one size leggings… if she’s larger than a size 10, I’d get tall and curvy. I am short, but I like that I can cuff and pull up the TC leggings
I love the Irma for breastfeeding! I throw on a NakedTank underneath and I’m golden. So comfortable.
love it!!!
I love this post! Adorable! I’m so excited to wear my LuLaRoe throughout this pregnancy and keep my style this time around. I can’t wait to share this post with my VIP group!
thank you, Amanda!
You are so stinking adorable in all these pics! I’m in love with the clothes and am about to get married and see babies in the future! Keeping rocking the roe!
Thank you, Marie!
Hi! I am very curious why you love the LuLaRoe brand so much when their clothes are predominantly made in China? They aren’t Fair Trade, Ethically produced, nor organic non chemical fabric & dyes, right? I have several friends that are reps, and was excited until I found this out 🙁
Hey Laineenee! Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting! I have talked a lot about this before, but I LOVE talking about this so I’m happy to talk more about it here. They actually aren’t predominantly produced in China. They have factories in the USA, China, Guatemala, Vietnam and Korea. While they are not certified fair trade (which A LOT of companies who produce ethically aren’t), they do produce ethically. They monitor their factories to ensure that workers are being paid a living wage (as opposed to just a fair wage), factories are clean, they don’t employ child labor, they have extremely high standards, they also make sure workers are not forced into working overtime, etc. etc. etc. Also, they just partnered with this company to work on a system for using recycled textiles: https://vimeo.com/114698289. I hope this is helpful!
You are gorgeous!! Love your style! Your flats are amazing!! Thank you so much for such an amazing review of a fantastic brand!
I’m a LuLaRoe ADDICT! At first, I wondered “What’s all the fuss about?” Then I bought a few pieces to help a friend that had just started as a consultant…and then there was that print that I needed to have or that style that I wanted to try because it looked so stinkin’ cute on someone else. Now, here I am! Full-blown LuLaRoe addict…so much so that I’m actually considering becoming a consultant myself! Ha! Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I enjoy following your blog for many, many reasons–but I LOVE seeing what cute new prints you’re sporting! You make them look so adorable, that several of the pieces have become my “unicorn” at one point or another! One style that I have a serious phobia of is the Ana. I’m afraid I’m too short or that it won’t look good one me. Since your Ana fits you PERFECTLY, would you mind sharing how tall you are and what size you’re wearing in the picture? Please?
Hey girl! I am wearing a size Large in this dress 🙂 and I’m about 5’4″-ish 🙂
Girl you look so great in everything! Can I ask where the cute flats with the contrast heel are from? Love them!
aw thank you, girl!! they are from The Root Collective 🙂
While pregnancy days are in the past for me, I really need to attend one of these parties so I can see these goodies in person! My daughter and I both love leggings paired with warm sweaters in the fall and winter and I hear these are the best leggings ever! Please tell someone to invite me to their party(; You look amazing in everything!! Susan
girrrrrl where are you located? i can see if there’s a consultant near you!
Central/Southeastern Ohio. And I would love that! Thanks!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!
thanks, sandy!
