Hey, what’s the big idea?
Roomy cotton tees for mommies-in-waiting by 9Seed. Designed by the Citizens of Humanity maternity collection team, the new local line has you looking swell while you, er, swell.
Asymmetrical hemlines on the Dew scoop-neck conceal a growing rear end. The extra-long Pixie tank guards against a peek-a-boo midriff. Breezy bell sleeves that hit above the elbow make Wood Nymph a go-to for hiding blubber arms. As a whole, the super-soft line comes in easy-to-wear colors (gray, black, blue, green, white, charcoal) and everything is refreshingly spandex free.
Go ahead and let loose.
Available starting Friday at Xpecting, 369 17th Street, between Raymond and Tustin Avenues, suite 20, Costa Mesa (949-574-2184 or xpectingmaternity.com); online at duematernity.com. To see styles, go to nineseed.com.
