If you've ever stood in front of your closet thinking "kuch pehnne ko nahi hai" (I have nothing to wear), I get it. My approach is about finding that everyday comfort and sadgi (simplicity) so you feel confident in your own skin - not by hiding anything, but by learning to balance your look. ### Maternity & Postpartum Styling Bodies change, and so should your wardrobe. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or just want to dress better for your shape, I help you work with what you've got. - For maternity, I look for soft jersey, cotton, and stretchy stuff - nothing too thick or tight. The third layer trick (like a loose shirt or blazer) adds shape without overheating. - Accessories matter. A plain dress plus a nice bag or cap can change the whole vibe. - Wrap styles and heavy tailoring? Mostly not worth the struggle during pregnancy. - After baby, I suggest high-waisted bottoms, A-line dresses, and tops that draw eyes up, not shapewear. Avoid clingy fabrics and boxy tops - they rarely do favours for a mommy belly. ### Styling for Your Body Shape Every body is different. I give tailored advice for common shapes: - Heavy bust? V-necks and Angrakha work, avoid crew necks. - Pear shape? Highlight your top half, skip pencil skirts. - Petite? Well-fitted blazers, midi lengths. - Broad shoulders? V-necks and one-shoulder tops beat noodle straps. ### How I Work My styling is always 1:1 and personal. We can connect online or, if you're in Delhi, I also offer in-person wardrobe sessions and shopping trips. ## Highlights Browse through Ria Dixit's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/riadixit/maternity-body-shape-styling/featured) - [Video: This is what it's all about: seeing my client's confidence shine after we find the perfect look.
