Pregnant Lawyer Style File: A Bun in the Oven and a Mother in Court

We were out and about at a party Saturday night when a friend announced her good news: she's pregnant! The problem, she confided to us, was her wardrobe — she's in court three days a week and has no idea how to survive her pregnancy without buying several new suits every few months.

This is a bit outside our field of expertise (we have yet to shop maternity) but we promised to look into it.

Readers, please comment in — where can professional clothes be found for the mom-to-be? What is pregnant lawyer style protocol?

We've talked a lot about courtroom attire for female lawyers in the past, including whether you can wear “interesting” suits to court, what to wear for a month in court (or a long trial in general!), how to stay polished when dealing with metal detectors, and (a while ago now!) whether you can wear flats to court. We've even talked about some finer points of women's professional attire in general, such as whether you should unbutton your blazer to sit, the best coats to wear over a suit, and whether your shirt collar should go in or out of your blazer.

We also now have an entire blog for working moms, and have rounded up what to wear to work while pregnant.
