Smart Belly

Let’s play word association. We say rent and you say: apartment. We say clothing rental and you say: tuxedo for high school grad. We say maternity clothing rental and you say: great idea.

While shopping is one of the top three perks of pregnancy (just behind a new baby and a year off work), buying an entirely new wardrobe to accommodate your burgeoning belly can be challenging.

First, you’ll love your pretty new wardrobe for a maximum of six months and then you’ll want to burn it. Second, think expansion and contraction…thirty pounds worth. Your pregnancy will also span at least two seasons. Third, budget is paramount on clothing with such a short life span.

The good news is that there are two maternity rental companies in Calgary strategically located at opposite ends of the city for your borrowing convenience.

Founder and preschool mom, Paula Galenzoski operates Dressed Beyond Conception from her home located in the NW community of Panorama Hills. Dressed Beyond Conception carries designer maternity clothing lines such as Hatch Maternity, Olian Maternity and Ripe plus a host of handbags and other small accessories for purchase. Shopping is by appointment only.
