Maternity Clothes for the Courtroom
Have you ever wondered where pregnant lawyers find clothes to wear to work? Even the fashion industry has largely ignored this question, as evidenced by the scores of Reddit posts from expecting attorneys asking for tips on where to find a maternity suit - any maternity suit. Boss mama blog Corporette has an incredible cache of working mom fashion tips, and they strike an almost apologetic tone in their article about where to find maternity suits. Their summary: there isn't much out there, JD Mama.
This is a real problem, as a pregnant lawyer can find her professional reputation and status undermined (even silently) when she can't dress in her usual formal style at work, though through no fault of her own. It's the motherhood penalty at work, long before there's a baby in sight.
MARION has taken this problem head-on, producing a high quality line of courtroom friendly maternity work clothes, including courtroom friendly maternity pencil skirts, maternity suit tops with nursing access, button down maternity blouses, maternity & nursing dresses, and pregnancy suit pants. Our goal is to make dressing for work as simple and flattering for pregnant lawyers as possible.
Introducing MARION's love letter to mama lawyers: 2 weeks worth of effortless maternity workwear outfits for attorneys. The best news, we didn't exhaust all your possible combos, leaving you even more options to combine the capsule pieces below into a whole pregnancy's worth of courtroom days.
