Pregnancy is one of the most exciting periods in any woman’s life. Though there are many health and practical difficulties associated, every woman loves to have a child of her own.

  • A couple of empire cut dresses
  • Kaftans and poncho tops
  • Get a formal top for special occasion
  • Wrap around skirts in plain colours or traditional block prints

A friend recommended Morphm aternity to me recently. So I decided to give it a try and believe me, their maternity wear is fantastic! The stretchy fabric accommodates the growing belly and is extremely comfortable.

anything comfortable in cotton and in stretchable material are fine. Even simple salwar suit are fine.
