A fake baby bump is a fantastic accessory for roleplaying, allowing anyone to explore different looks and styles with a unique twist! The fascination with fake baby bumps isn’t just about looking pregnant, either. It’s about the creativity and the stories you can tell with your outfits! Plus, aren’t you curious about how a baby bump can push you to find new aspects of your femininity? I know I am! So, if you’re as excited as me, let’s talk about super easy ways to style outfits with a fake baby bump!
Sexy Silhouettes: Flattering Your New Curves
Who says being pregnant means foregoing the stylish you?
Think of it this way: Your fake baby bump is just another curve you need to highlight.
But to know the ‘how’ of sexy silhouettes, you must first pick the right bump size.
Why the need to know what size to wear?
Well, when it comes to fake baby bumps, the size you choose can completely change how your body looks.
You must select a bump that matches your body.
Below, I divided which body type and trimester period complement each other well.
Pregnant for 0 to 12 Weeks if You’re Curvy
If you have a curvier build, go for a smaller bump.
A smaller size will complement your natural curves.
Moreover, you don’t have to worry about it overwhelming your frame!
Fake baby bumps in the first trimester add just the right amount of curve.
You don’t want to look too bulky!
Pregnant for 13 to 27 Weeks if You’re Muscular
Are you someone blessed with a naturally balanced body shape?
Then, feel free to play around with different fake baby bump sizes.
This one also applies if you’re on the more muscular side.
But having many options can make you indecisive, so let me give you a tip.
A medium-sized bump usually works best!
It keeps your proportions in check while still giving you that knocked-up look.
Pregnant for 28 to 40 Weeks if You’re Thin
For those with a leaner, more straight-up-and-down shape, a larger bump may just be your best friend!
With such a shape, it won’t be a problem to have extra, huge curves where you want ’em!
In fact, choosing a more pronounced pregnant belly will create a fuller and more balanced look.
Fitted Dresses and Tops
Now that you’ve got the right bump size, it’s time to talk about clothes that show it off.
Fitted dresses and tops are your go-to for a flattering ‘Hey, I’m pregnant’ silhouette.
When your clothes hug your body the right way, they accentuate your fake baby bump.
They make your new curve pop without making you look awkward.
But what dresses and tops should you stock up on?
Bodycon Dress
The classic bodycon is perfect for hugging curves— including your fake baby bump!
Wrap Dress
A wrap dress is practical and nice-looking.
You can adjust it to fit your fake bump perfectly while highlighting your waist.
Ruched Side Dress
Sexy and tantalizing!
The ruching on the sides adds extra stretch and room for your fake bump while keeping things snug.
Peplum Top
Peplum tops flare out just below your breast forms.
Peplums are the best if you want a lovely hourglass shape.
High-Low Dress
A high-low hemline screams drama!
The best part is it keeps the focus on your fake bump while you work on your theatrics.
Fitted Maternity Tee
A fitted maternity tee is simple, comfy, and, more often than not, really cute!
It shows off your bump in the most casual but still chic way.
Emphasize the Waist
Being pregnant doesn’t mean your waist just goes ‘poof!’
It’s still there; you just have to emphasize it more.
Creating that hourglass figure is still the same whether you’re pregnant or not.
It’s all about highlighting the waist area.
Even with a fake baby bump, you can totally rock a cinched waist look.
How? Let me give you some ideas, all centering around belts!
Go shopping for some stylish wide belts.
A wide belt creates a more defined waistline.
It also adds some structure to your outfit.
- On the other hand, skinny belts have their pros too! Skinny belts are subtle— but effective! Pair them with your fitted dresses and you got a runway-ready look!
- Sash belts will instantly make you feel feminine! They can also be flirty. It’s okay to look flirty, even with a fake baby bump! You can tie them in a bow. Double-tie them to secure your fake bump.
Fabric Choices
As a pregnant person, you want to look stylish.
Some sacrifices are okay, but if you plan to wear the fake baby bump for long hours, I suggest don’t sacrifice too much!
And anyway, knowing what fabric to pick will keep you looking stylish and comfortable!
To do this, you’ll want something that molds to your body.
The fabric should show off those curves while feeling great against your skin.
The fabrics that can do this are the following.
- Spandex
- Jersey Knit
- Stretch Cotton
- Lycra
- Modal
- Bamboo Fabric
- Rayon Blend
- Velvet
- Polyester Spandex Blend
- Knit Wool
