Pregnancy "only" lasts nine months.
Thus, it's hard to justify buying an entirely new wardrobe for such a short span of time. I prefer to buy a few fantastic maternity items that I can wear all nine months with ease.
That's why Maggie Maternity's Classic Maggie Box ($195) is so ingenious. It consists of four pieces - a skirt, a pair of pants, a 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a tank - all in black. Each piece is simple, classic, and incredibly soft. No frills...but also no "frump."
I especially love the Figure Tee ($60, if purchased "alone"). The sleeve length is flattering, the rounded neckline is pretty, and the shirt is long enough to cover my burgeoning belly. I actually wore it in our family Christmas photo this year and I've worn it to several parties too, not to mention all of the other times I've worn it as part of my regular "work week."
The tank is nice for warm weather and/or layering...and the skirt is great if you're the skirt-wearing type during pregnancy (I prefer jeans/pants because I have a toddler to chase and I'm constantly getting up and down, which is hard to do gracefully at almost 30 weeks pregnant). The pants are comfy and great for lounging around the house, but I personally prefer a more structured trouser for "going out" (whether to a work meeting or to dinner with my husband).
All of the items are made of the same stretchy material and can easily be dressed up or down, depending on your choice of accessories and shoes. You'll like these pieces equally if you're in corporate America or if you're at home with your toddler. And you'll definitely wear them often - from that first positive test result to postpartum. I expect that I'll wear these pieces even after baby #2 makes her debut in March...

Great set in size medium would work
This is possibly the greatest thing ever invented! I would love this.
I would definitely go with the Summer box living here in So. California. I sooo agree with you about not buying a ton of maternity clothes. I see so many really cute clothes but I think...I'm only going to wear them for a very short time, particularly because I didn't even start wearing maternity clothes with my son until the second trimester. If I could get away with a few pieces that would be awesome!
I like the innovation of this product
This makes being pregnant even sweeter! It's so wild finding the perfect maternity clothes and this so simplifies everything in a magical box!
Thanks so much for this give~away! : )))

Just found out my niece is pregnant with her first baby. She certainly will need some comfortable classy looking clothing as she continues working as long as she is able.. Thanks for the chance to give her a start in her first maternity clothing..
I have heard of these before. What a fantastic prize.

Trying to find basic pieces that flatter for work has been difficult. This definitely looks like it could work. Thanks for the giveaway!

What a fabulous fashion idea!
This is such a great idea! I love it because it makes it very easy to look great and the clothing is so stylish! Thanks for this great giveaway!
This Classic Maggie Box is truly an amazing way to create a number of different "looks" and outfits with just a few basic pieces. It is a must have for any mother to be. The clothing items look ultra stylish and above all super comfortable. I would love to have this simply for all the versatility and style that is offers. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter!
This is a wonderful basic wardrobe, especially if you do not wish to spend a fortune on a maternity wardrobe. These basics carry you thru looking chic and put together and they change up every time you switch accessories. Brilliant!
Brilliant idea. Classic clothes too.
Here's hoping! Please count me in and thanks for the contest!

Love this, thanks
Wonderful contest!!! I would love to win this, thanks so much!!!! :)
I held off as long as I could on buying maternity clothes, but I"m at 30 weeks too and the wardrobe is getting desparate! Sometimes I wonder who is designing maternity clothes these days. Sticky polyester, pants that are waaaay too long, jeans that won't stay up, horizontal stripes on everything. I'm especially interested in the skirt. Thanks!
I love the trousers! The tank would come in handy for the warm AZ weather too! All of it looks very preg figure flattering.
I would love to win this for me, having baby number three.
I'd love to win this for my daughter-in-law who is expecting my first grandchild.
I would love to win this! I can't afford to buy too many maternity clothes but am getting bigger every day!
This would be great to win for my pregnant daughter, she's not fitting in any of her clothes anymore.
My friend is expecting her first.
Please enter me
What a great prize.
I'd love to win for a very special friend.
Always know someone that is going to have a baby.
I'm expecting in May and would love to have some of these versatile basics.
These are really nice maternity clothes! m04taes(at)verizon(dot)net
ty 4 the awesome giveaway and entry:)
I have such a hard time finding cute but comfy maternity clothes. This would be great!
This looks great. Sometimes it's so hard to put a lot of energy into what to wear while you are pregnant, but it makes a big difference in your mood to feel good about yourself. Something like this would be great for looking good easily :)
Thanks!!
LOTS OF NEAT STUFF
wow
Have a great day.
My boyfriend and I are planning on starting a family soon and this box set would be wonderful!
What a wonderful giveaway. As Thoreau said, "Simplify, simplify, simplify." And this prize would definitely help with that goal! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Great prize!
What a wonderful set, look comfy and put together, really like it.
what a great idea!! and especially fitting to stretch your wardrobe with your dh's shirts
this is great as staples....one can use the other stuff that already exists in the closet to stretch their wardrobe for as long as possible
I'm only 5 weeks pregnant, but I'm already thinking ahead! It would be great to have something so versatile!
Theselook wonderful. I have so much trouble finding decent looking maternity clothes. Black is my favorite clothes color. This would give me something to wear on every occasion.
Thanks for the contest, please enter me. Hopefully soon I'll be needing these.
this would be perfect for the daughter-in-law Thanks!
Well I'm not pregnant ... yet! But I will need this hopefully soon! Thanks.
I'm just starting to show and desperately need something like this to cover my rapidly expanding belly! Thank you for the contest, Maggie Maternity looks awesome.
My best friend is expecting and this would be a great gift!!

My sister has a friend who could really use these having a third baby and they lost everything a few years ago... She could use a break
Pretty, practical, and priced right -- what more could you want -- maybe a couple of boxes :)
please count me in
The Maggie Box sounds just great, and it's good to know that people care about prospective moms! I'd like size Large please!
i could use this.
Wow, this is absolutely wonderful for new moms. What a great way to save on clothes!!!
This is absolutely fabulous! really love this look and the comfort of this collection.
WOW these look great. I love comfortable clothes during pregnancy. Thanks.
would be great for my daughter
they look wonderful
All these pieces look wonderful, and the shirts especially. They look like they are a nice length - too-short maternity shirts are a great pet peeve!
My daughter would love this :)
I would love to win!
love to win this
After having 5 kids wearing the cheapest and not best-looking maternity clothes, it would be wonderful to have beautiful ones for a change.
My Daughter in law is pregnant with our first grandchild and this would be perfect for her. I love the material and they look good on.
Great giveaway.
These look great - I am all about the "stretchy" durin and shortly after pregnancy!
We're about to start trying for another. This would be so handy for work.
enter me please
This would be a wonderful gift for my daughter-in-law. Wish they had made clothes like this when I had my 6 children.
I would love to win this. I find myself running out of things to wear now that I am pregnant.
wow
I'd love to win!
I would love to win this for my pregnant granddaughter!
this looks great
An excellent idea (and excellent prize). This is a great way to build a total maternity wardrobe with just the additional of a few pieces.
This is a cool idea, thanks for the opportunity to win this innovative prize.
Just found out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Each pregnancy my size has fluctuated so much (and it's been different seasons) so I'll need some new maternity pieces. This line looks so comfortable! I can't stand anything tight fitting around my waist - I'd love this!
This is the answer to my problems!!!
Another one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" creations. I'd love to win this giveaway for my pregnant niece, in a medium:) Terrific giveaway!
maggie@mannwieler.com
man oh man, I'd love to win! I'm 23 weeks along with my first, so I am really just now needed to wear more and more maternity clothes. I would look so much better at work if I won! :) Thanks so much!
I wish I'd had this when I was pregnant... never say never, I guess!
What a wonderful set! This is every pregnant woman's dream! And the sizing is flattering...I never could tell someone that I was a size "3"!! LOL!
This really is a genius idea. Why do so many maternity clothes go crazy with patterns or large-tent-like-frumpyness in cut? I wore a lot of my normal clothes for a while (either they stretched, or they were wrap type, etc), with some a few maternity items (jeans, undershirts, etc). This would totally help my wardrobe though for baby #2. I love this put together box of black basics, esp. the pencil skirt. Too cute.
Who wouldn't want this?!
What a great idea to sell a 'starter' set of maternity clothes. I am pregnant and could really use more clothes that fit right and make me feel good about my expanding body.
Clearly I am hoping for a second pregnancy soon since I can't stop commenting on all of your pregnancy items :) This really is a great concept though, and I'll have to remember it!
What a great concept. I've just started looking for cute maternity clothes again and this looks like a great starter piece (since I borrowed all my clothes last time from my sister in law who moved across the country).
No need for maternity clothes is one of the many overlooked blessings of adoption. But my little sister is newly pregnant, and I'd love to win this for her.
Wow! Such a blessing for a pregnant mom :) Love the look, and love the fabric!size 4!!
For those of us who just don't wanna shop, a complete *comfortable* pregnancy wardrobe in a box is pretty much perfect.
I had one of the Maggie box sets and have to say it is the BEST feeling maternity wear out there! (And great for after baby, too!)
Steph
This would be perfect for my sister. She is having her 2nd child - 8 years after her first and she definitely needs these great clothes.
