zulily recently launched a new concierge service for women entering their 4th trimester (the first few months of motherhood after baby is born). It is often difficult for new moms to find fashion solutions during this transition period. Moms will now be able to chat with maternity buyers/experts in real time via Facebook Messenger for advice on the topic for a limited time. zulily is offering this service for the month of March.
The Fourth Trimester Closet Concierge provides a personalized service to help new moms look and feel great during this time of transition by connecting with zulily’s maternity team of experts aka Baby-Friendly Fashion Squad (BFFs) by messaging zulily directly in Facebook Messenger using the #BFFs hashtag or by visiting the zulily Facebook page for more details. zulily’s BFFs will respond to moms through Facebook Messenger Monday through Friday from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00p.m. EST.
I love that zulily is offering this service! New moms need all the support they can get! zulily has always offered great products for women and children but this service goes above and beyond with curated collections of clothing for new moms during the transition period ranging from nursing wear to options to flatter all body types. zulily has also createed a Pinterest board based on the most common crowd-sourced questions which offers additional solutions for new moms at the end of each week. zulily always offers a fresh selection of maternity and fourth trimester fashions that can be shopped anytime on the maternity page.
“Our maternity team at zulily saw the need to provide a special service to new moms who can be overwhelmed and strapped for time. We wanted to provide a special service for these women to help them navigate those first several months and look and feel their best,” said Robin Otto, zulily maternity expert and merchandising manager. “Our styles are as unique as the new mothers we dress and our maternity experts have a wealth of apparel expertise to help new moms achieve stylish ensembles that will make them all shine.”
The zulily team of experts share fourth trimester fashion tips below and the full list can be found here:
- Streamlined silhouettes – It’s common to want to hide behind bulky clothing when a body is changing after a baby is born. Avoid chunky fabric, big prints, and super shiny styles as these can give the illusion of a bulkier frame. Instead, stick to solids and dark colored tops and dresses.
- Functional nursing apparel (if needed) – Make sure to select products that are easy to care for and comfortable to wear. For moms who chose to nurse or pump, aim to have a few staple bra options during this time, as your bust size will most-likely fluctuate. Surplice tops, nursing tanks and tops are great options since these garments make it easier to breastfeed in public or pump while you’re back in your busy routine.
- Shapewear – Consider investing in compression garments such as tank tops, seamless camisoles and leggings since these streamline your figure. For example, the Belly Bandit (a top selling item on zulily) helps support a post-baby belly, waist and hips, allowing moms to feel confident as they work at their own pace to get back into their pre-pregnancy clothing.
- Adjustable apparel styles – Look for styles such as wrap dresses and tops, which are closet essentials, and flattering for most body types. As a new mom’s body continues to change, these garments can easily be adjusted.
For the month of March, head to Facebook.com/zulily to take advantage of the Fourth Trimester Closet Concierge and discover great fashion finds by visiting zulily.com. Be sure to tell all your new mom and mom-to-be friends!
