Wear your regular pants longer!

 

The Bella Belt is a tube of elastic fabric to be worn over the top of your regular pants with the fly undone.  Because the bella belt is elastic, it hold your pants up while still being comfortable.  Plus, the belt serves to cover your belly under your shirt.  This simple concept allows you put off jumping into the maternity pants, and lets you wear your own favority pants during pregnancy.  Save money, and look great.

Classic Bella Band 

The Bella Band in Solids

The classic bella band looks like a long jersey that hangs a bit lower than your shirt. The elastic in the fabric is strong enough to hold your pants (unzipped) up, but not too tight to be uncomfortable.

Bella Band with Lace 

Soft & Feminine Bella Bands

Ingrid & Isabel Bella Band with Lace White
Similar to a tube top for the tummy, this seamless knit fabric band is a blessing for pregnant women struggling with what to wear each day. You can extend the life of your favorite pre-pregnancy jeans or skirts by wearing it over unbuttoned clothes that are now just too tight. For women ready to wear their larger-size maternity clothes, the band smoothes and flattens excess fabric and hides bulky closures, comfortably holding up pants, shorts, and skirts to create a smooth, attractive surface. Stretchy lace trim embellishes the bottom seam, so it looks cute if it peeks out from under your top. Practical, stylish, and comfy, the Bella Band is a must-have accessory for every pregnant woman's wardrobe. Bella Band with Lace.
