Envie de Fraises Maternity nightdress review


I'm sure most of us started watching new season of One Born Every Minute, I'm obsessed with it, but this time for a different reason. I watch it not just for the sake of knowing how the labour goes, what might happen, but also to have a rough idea about what to wear during my hospital stay and baby birth.
In my everyday life or every- night life to be precise (I don't know if it's acceptable or normal in wife's code) I wear a t-shirt with a jumper and trackies as I feel the need to be warm during my sleep rather than be all dressed up for my husband and being cold. Don't take me wrong, I do have fancy night outfits, but I just think when it comes to real life they are not very practical.

Anyway for my (for our) special moment- child birth I decided to look the best I can (pampered and dressed appropriately).

Lovely Enviede Fraises representative have sent me a Maternity nightdress (£34.49) to review, which I hopefully will be wearing during labour and after. 


Enviede Fraises founded by Anne-Laure Constanza in 2006, it is the French leading fashion brand for moms-to-be. The brand has been worn by hundreds of thousands of pregnant women since its launch. Envie de Fraises team of stylists and designers has poured its passion and talent into developing maternity clothing that meets the needs and expectations of future moms.

The nightdress itself  looks exactly like on a picture and definitely suits me. It is quite stretchy and I have a little bit of space to grow due to not so big bump, hopefully I will be able to wear (fit in) it in the next 3 months. It's not just a pretty nightdress it is useful as well as I can use it when breastfeeding our baby. 


As a recommendation I would suggest to expand the variety of sizes or maybe even to consider plus size option. I'm sure some mums would agree we would like not just to browse website, but also be able to order Envie de Fraises's lovely items.

DISCLAIMER: I was sent the above nightdress for the purposes of this review. All thoughts and opinion are my own. All pictures taken from Envie de Fraises website.

Tiffany Rose maternity dress review

Few months ago I started my search for a perfect dress for a spring wedding of our friends, which will go with their wedding colour scheme. Needless to say that the search was driving me mad, as I didn't like most of the dresses on me due to being never satisfied with my figure plus I was very particular about the colour and how it should look on me.


With Tiffany Rose maternity dress you can put all your worries aside, except from choosing the one and only dress from a big variety!

If you never heard of Tiffany Rose here is a little bit about them:
"Tiffany Rose began in 2003 with a simple aim: to offer pregnant women the chance to wear exciting, elegant, beautiful and well-made designs for special occasions...Our collection ranges from beautifully tailored jersey and lace maternity dresses, silk evening gowns and our fabulous selection of maternity bridal wear. 
Every single garment in our collection is designed and Made in Britain".

I have opted for Jewel Block Dress coffee bean (£89), it arrived in a beautifully presented box, the dress itself was wrapped in tissue paper, this whole experience made me feel like a VIP.
I have tried the dress straight away, but I needed my husband to offer a second opinion.

I made a right decision by choosing this dress as :
  • it flatters my figure (shows off my bust and hides any imperfections I might have) 
  • material is stretchy enough for me to fit in the dress (hopefully) during and post pregnancy 
  • the length is perfect for my height 
  • I was the most worried about the top half of the dress firstly because of the cleavage and secondly because it's a sleeveless dress, how surprised I was to see that it looks perfect, bra is nicely covered and no need to worry that someone may see too much. 
Take a look:

Look out for the online launch of Spring/Summer 2014 collection commencing today 21st February.

Here are a few of my favourites from S/S14:
