Everyday style that makes feeding on the go considerably simpler.
Maternity Fashion Guide
Once baby arrives, everyday clothing takes on a new practical requirement: easy access for nursing, wherever and whenever it is needed. The Dubai Mall offers thoughtful nursing-friendly options that do not sacrifice style for practicality. Here are the best places to buy nursing-friendly fashion at The Dubai Mall.
Mothercare — A trusted name for new mothers, Mothercare offers dedicated nursing wear including tops and dresses with discreet nursing access built in. Its practical, well-designed pieces make it a genuine first stop for building a functional early-motherhood wardrobe.
Women’secret — The Spanish retailer offers nursing bras and nursing-friendly tops with front openings, blending practicality with the brand’s typically pretty, feminine aesthetic. It is a popular, accessible choice for everyday nursing wear that does not feel purely functional.
Intimissimi — The Italian brand Intimissimi offers comfortable, well-made nursing bras alongside its wider lingerie range. Known for quality fabrics and gentle, supportive designs at accessible prices, it is a lovely source for the nursing bras that form the foundation of this wardrobe stage.
H&M — H&M’s maternity and nursing range includes affordable, stylish tops with nursing access, offering an easy way to build a functional wardrobe without a large investment during a stage when bodies and needs are still changing week to week.
Oysho — Oysho’s soft, adaptable basics work well for improvised nursing access even outside its dedicated nursing pieces, thanks to relaxed, layerable silhouettes. Its comfortable, breathable fabrics suit new mothers prioritising ease above all else.
Marks & Spencer — The trusted British institution offers dependable, well-fitted nursing bras and tops with a focus on genuine support and comfort. Known for reliable sizing, it is a sensible stop for the practical, everyday essentials of a nursing wardrobe.
Nursing-Friendly Design Features
Look for wrap dresses and tops, button-front or zip-front designs, layered tops that can be lifted from the bottom, and stretchy, adaptable necklines that pull aside easily. Two thin layers — a vest top under a looser cardigan or shirt — often work better in practice than a single garment specifically marketed as ‘nursing wear.’
Getting a Proper Nursing Bra Fit
Breast size and shape often change more than once during the early nursing months, so it is worth having a proper fitting rather than guessing at a size, and expecting to potentially need a re-fit a few weeks after birth once things settle. Several stores in the mall offer fitting services, and staff experienced with nursing bras can make a genuine difference to daily comfort.
Building a Practical Everyday Wardrobe
Rather than an entirely separate nursing wardrobe, many new mothers find a handful of genuinely adaptable pieces — a couple of wrap tops, a nursing bra or two, and some button-front shirts — cover most daily needs. Dark, patterned fabrics are also more forgiving of the inevitable spills and marks that come with newborn life.
Fabrics and Care
Given how frequently nursing clothing gets washed in the early months, machine-washable, hard-wearing fabrics matter more than delicate materials requiring special care. Cotton blends tend to hold up best to frequent laundering while staying soft and breathable against sensitive postpartum skin, making them a practical default when choosing between similar styles.
Style That Works as Hard as You Do
From the dedicated practicality of Mothercare to the accessible style of H&M and Women’secret and the soft comfort of Oysho and Intimissimi, The Dubai Mall makes nursing-friendly dressing genuinely manageable. Prioritise easy access and comfortable, forgiving fabrics, and you will have a wardrobe that keeps pace with the demands of early motherhood.
