In previous years, wedding dresses were thought to give much symbolization to the marriage. A lady was only thought to have the right to wear a white gown if she was pure and had saved herself until after marriage. Our forefathers and mothers would have never dreamed of the idea of a maternity wedding gown.
However, times have now proven that indeed there is a market out there for maternity wedding dresses. In fact there is a company that has completely dedicated its business to creating maternity wedding gowns for those in need.
Expectant Bride is a UK company that strictly limits its supply to those who are expecting. The founder of the company was an expecting bride and wants to help others who are in the same situation that she was once in. She feels that a special day, such as your wedding day, should not be compromised for any reason. All brides should get the dress of their dreams.
In the company’s Q&A section I came across some of the following interesting facts to share with you.
Many expectant brides feel that they can go to a regular wedding dress store and simply buy a dress in a larger size. Why is this not always such as good idea? The design of the maternity wedding dresses has been created in order to enhance and fit the body of a pregnant woman. A normal dress in a larger size will not fit the body properly.
How can pregnant women buy their dresses in advance when they know that their bodies will continue to grow? Expectant Bride knows that an expecting woman’s body will grow about one and a half inched in the stomach each month. They can allow for this growth. They also claim that all of their dresses are designed to fit at any stage of the pregnancy.
