We're at 28 weeks, and I'm excited to share the fifth episode of my Dressing the Bump series! This week, I'm talking about how to buy and wear vintage while pregnant. I love incorporating vintage into my wardrobe, but it can be tricky—pregnant or not. So, we're taking a look at some of the best vintage cuts and pieces to flatter a belly that can also we worn post-baby as well.
We have just a couple pre-baby episodes left, so if there's anything you'd like to see me cover in the last two, feel free to leave any requests for future episodes in the comment section below! And see all sources for the clothing worn below…
*Please keep in mind that all bellies are shaped and sized differently and grow at different rates. I hope you'll find these videos helpful at some stage of your pregnancy.
You can see all sources for the pieces worn in the video below…

adorable!
Cute, bright & colorful!
You are so cute! The jumpsuit is my favorite. I’d really appreciate some bra suggestions…I’m having trouble finding something comfortable and supportive that fits me right.
Such great ideas Joy! You look fabulous!!!
You look so cute, Joy! I’m not even pregnant and I love these little videos! Taking notes. 😉
I love these so much! Thanks so much for making them! (:
so cute joy! you look amazing 🙂
You’re the cutest preggo I’ve ever seen, Joy! You almost made me want to be pregnant again… almost… You look fantastic! xx
Thank you!
Joy
Thank you! And great suggestion!
Joy
Thank you for watching them! 😉
Joy

Thanks Lisa!
Joy

Thanks Yuko!
Joy
ooh! The romper is so nice!
I would definitely love to get more inspiration in dressing for the office especially for meetings and presentations.
Hi Joy, I love these episodes! Almost can’t wait to get pregnant with #2. I’m not sure if you plan on breastfeeding, but I’d love to see any ideas on how to dress the bump & still use them for BFing after. That’s been tough for me to find cute clothes for nursing. And most of my maternity clothes are not nursing friendly, so I feel like I have to buy another wardrobe.
Loving the yellow romper!!
Shoe recommendations would be great, especially for sore and swollen pregnant feet that are still trying to do lots of walking. I’m 39 weeks and have only been wearing Saucony Jazz tennis shoes or a basic pair of Me Too flats for the past month. Both are comfortable, but neither is very cute.
Cutest little pregnant lady ever! I love watching these videos!

My favorite installment so far! Love the yellow romper (and pretty much all of it)!

Hi Jen!
Thanks for the suggestion! I am actually planning a post-baby episode that will cover some clothing that works well for nursing and might have some pieces show up beforehand too. Its great to hear that it would be helpful for you!
best!
Joy
You look adorable!! Loved this episode and how detailed you went into different types of cuts and fits. I especially like the focus on finding non-maternity clothes to wear during preggo time so you can wear again afters. 🙂 These videos are produced so well too – I really enjoy watching them! If possible, (later on I’m sure is easiest) I’d love to request a post for nursing clothes that are stylish, cute and comfy too! I just had my first baby and am having hard time finding cute and non-frumpy options. Thank you! 🙂

Adorable, as always!
I just picked up the cutest denim vest at American Eagle last night, thank you so much for the great “dressing the bump” idea!!!
Thanks so much Irene! That really means so much!
We are actually planning a post-baby episode that focusing on things to wear while nursing. It wont be till after I have the baby, but stay tuned 😉
Joy
Yay! Will do! 🙂

This was my favorite one so far! All those wonderful prints and a jumper! I wore a vintage skirt throughout my pregnancy and I’m glad it’s a thing now haha 😉
Lovely video and love your glow.
My favorite yet!! You look amazing in all those. I am a bit obsessed with you in that yellow jumper. what an awesome find. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi, great video, love it! Can you make one on fall/winter mat clothes!
Hi Ola!
Thanks for the suggestion! Will keep that in mind as we plan the rest!
Joy
Joy, I love your black floral jumpsuit. Can I buy it? 😀
thanks doing this series. it would be so great if you could recommend some tips for dressing in cooler climates!
I like BIrkenstocks. They are so comfortable and can be very cute too.
WAAAW!!! My favourite video/maternity look so far 🙂 Such beautiful dresses, and you look amazing in each one of them!
I agree this yellow dress is just the cutest!
You always have the most beautiful nails in your videos! OH and 1 more tip I have to add, remember to always make sure the tush looks good, we often forget that a bump pulls the fabric tighter in the back too!
Sooo adorable! Loved all the pieces! Definitely going to keep these in mind for my next pregnancy!
Thanks Justine!
Joy

I’m really loving this series. I would love to see fall items/layering as well, and was also wondering if you could recommend some of your favorite workout clothing?
