Hiding a bump...

rachaelski

I have a job interview on Friday, and I want to hide my bump until I am offered the job. Any suggestions on ways to dress professionally and hide the bump at the same time???

Sweaters or a jacket. Also, loose fitting clothes.

Good luck on the interview!

Jacket Jacket! I know its really hot where I am but a light jacket should work.

Something loose and blousy with a pattern and a jacket or cardigan left open. Basically, nothing that will hug your bump and preferably a busy pattern to distract from what's underneath.  Good luck!

Start trying stuff on and hog the 3-way mirror in the dressing room.  Bring a girlfriend who will be honest.  And remember: they can't ask you in the interview if you're pregnant.  (Well, they aren't supposed to, anyway...)

Since you're interviewing for a teaching position, maybe a flowy dress with a cardigan?  One of my favorite interview outfits was a knee-length sheath with a black blazer, but I wouldn't do a sheath now.

Do you have any dresses/shirts that are empire waistline?  I always feel like those already make you look pregnant when you're not, so I doubt anyone would think you were.

I wore a scarf frequently, that seemed to help a lot.  My sister even told me it covered it well.  I also recommend a jacket.

I wear suits everyday and they hide my bump

If you can find a pretty spring dress with a high or empire waist, pair the dress with a 3/4 sleeve blazer and or long cardigan (not closed in the front). Make sure that nothing hugs on your stomach, Wear heels, it will help with the posture and the way the material flows. IF it is still somewhat obvious you could try to pair with a scarf, but will look a little silly if its too warm out... Anyway, hope this helps... and hope you find something wonderful!

Wear black! My co-worker is 32 weeks pregnant and when she wears black, you still can't see her bump from the front. Also, blazers really help when worn over dresses. Good luck!!

If you have a big purse, put it in your lap for extra coverage!
