A Maternity Style Expert Critiques Kim and Kate Prego Outfits!
Style expert Amy Tara Koch wrote a whole book, Bump It Up, about maternity fashion, so she has lots of thoughts about the looks Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton tried out during their pregnancies. See if you agree with her advice for the ladies!
"When you're pregnant, your breasts get bigger but your rib cage moves, too! It's terrifying. If you make small tweaks to get the right lingerie, it makes a world of difference."
"Kim hung on to her identity. You have to say good-bye to certain silhouettes because they're not flattering."
"If you have huge boobs, don't wear a high neckline because you'll have uni-boob. Wear an open neckline."
"I wore heels during my entire pregnancy. There are heels that have platforms and are more comfortable. She kept doing the gladiator thing."
"Instead of wearing tight things, you should wear a three-quartered length kimono sleeve which makes your arms look smaller."

"The most flattering look is flowy, deconstructed. It should have a lower neck, open sleeves, and isn't too clingy in the belly. Kourtney wore flowy all the time!"
"Royals are known for wearing the three-quartered sleeve duster coat, and she did that with panache."
"When I saw Kate in the animal print, I was like, Oh yeah, animal print! She matched the bravado to her bump."
"She took her pre-pregnancy style and transitioned it. She did streamlined dresses, coats, and a clutch bag."
"She wore a lot shorter than I thought she was going to, like the polka-dot Topshop dress. It's easy for her, since she's so tall and willowy!"
"Kate's like Jackie Kennedy. In her pillbox hat, she was so elegant that we were captivated. I find it's the same with Kate."
