Skirts are great for pregnancy (or any other time, for that matter). They are comfortable to wear and easily coordinate with other things in your wardrobe. When the weather warms up in spring and summer, you’ll especially appreciate the breezy style of a pretty skirt.
My long-time friends at newCreation Apparel sent me something very lovely to review this spring: the popular Diagonal Stretch Denim maternity skirt.
This is not an ordinary denim skirt. The poly/viscose/spandex fabric is very fine and lightweight, with a smooth feel and very nice drape. The color is a deep denim blue with hints of aubergine, and it’s accented with diagonal stitching for visual appeal. The soft and stretchy tummy panel helps to accommodate your expanding waistline during pregnancy.
Solomon – the cat – kept rubbing on my skirt while Catherine was trying to take a photo of me so I finally just picked him up! (Finally got the cameo he always wanted, I guess.)
I simply ordered my pre-pregnancy size and then picked my desire length (33, 36 or 39 inches). Many of newCreation’s skirts can be ordered in the length of your choice, and I think that’s one of the best features of their website, and something very unique in the online fashion industry. Size ranges offered are also pretty generous: from ladies small to 2X.
If you want to know my honest thoughts about my new maternity skirt, I’ll put it this way. I’ve worn it more than six times in the past two weeks! And one of those times was church because it’s versatile enough to be dressed up or down. Not only does the contrast stitching give it an extra nice touch, but the hem of the skirt has a bit of flutter at the edges:
Simply put, it’s a flattering and very comfortable skirt, and at just $28.00 I would highly recommend it to any expectant mother as a wardrobe staple.
Here are a few items from their site that are on my “wish list” for after pregnancy:
Since I’ve been a customer of newCreation for many years, here are a few more reasons I can wholeheartedly recommend them to you:
- They sell hard to find items like maternity slips (in cotton!!) and longer silk slips.
- Shipping is super fast – my packages usually arrive within 3 days.
- Things I’ve purchased in past years still look and fit great; the quality and durability is stellar.
- The people behind the scenes are like old friends – kind, generous and extremely helpful. And they are truly committed to providing beautiful, modest and affordable clothing for women.
- There’s always something for sale in the Treasure Chest – you can find skirts up to 50% off.
newCreation has offered to give one lucky winner one of their skirts! You can choose whatever you want from the site – and the giveaway is open to both US and Canada. Good luck!
I was surprised to see that they carried silk comforters also. I wouldn’t have expected that. I appreciate that they are a company that wants to promote modest clothing – but I wish they also sold skirts that were not floor length. I would like something a few inches below the knee.
Hi Lynne! As you can see from the photos, their skirts are not all floor length. The one I reviewed is a few inches above my ankles. Longer styles are the hallmark of newCreation, but it wouldn’t hurt for you to to share your feedback about other lengths with customer service. ~Anne
Also, when you order, you often have the choice of lengths, usually 33″, 36″, and 39″.
I like the buckle down skirt.
Hi Anne! 🙂
I absolutely love their skirts! I have yet to order one, but only because I can never decide which one to pick! I really like the bias cut that you have on in the photos. It’s very flattering, and it looks super comfortable… I’ll have to go check and see if they have a similar style that isn’t maternity… But it would be so fun to choose a skirt from their site. Any of them! Thanks for the opportunity!
I think they do, Robin! It’s called the Diagonal Denim. Thanks for entering! ~Anne
I love the jeri crincle skirt. I normally don’t wear skirts but since these are longer and look comfortable I would definatly start.
I love the Double Shirred Sand maternity skirt – it is so beachy and looks so cozy! 🙂
Very happy to see this giveaway! I’ve heard about NewCreation, but have never tried their products. I was recently looking for new skirts, and got frustrated that the styles right now are either above the knee or maxi-length. I love that they offer the skirts in a variety of lengths!! Even if I don’t win, I will be coming back to browse what they have to offer.
I agree it’s frustrating that styles are so limited in stores. Maxi is much too long for me and I don’t like showing my knees. LOL ~Anne
I love any denim skirt- I’m a sucker for them. I especially like the diagonal stretch denim. But I like the double rouche too- I just don’t think it would be flattering on me. You never know though.
I agree with another commenter, I wish they had mid length skirts also. But the Kati Denim has a very cool design.
I just love love skirts from this site. I have one long black maternity skirt from this company that I bought years ago and it is incredibly comfortable, well made and looks so classy.
I love the prices on these, even the new arrivals! I love the Natalie! I don’t normally wear long jean skirts but this one isn’t just a plain one. I like the angled seams on it.
I love long skirts! They have some really pretty options. Since I recently found out I’m expecting I’m especially interested in the diagonal denim stretch skirt!
I love long skirts, so this place is a great find. I especially like the Kati Denim skirt.
Would love to try one of the skirts, they look nice especially the Cairo Denim.
Yea for a place that sells long skirts.
I am always looking for good quality below the knee skirts! and comfortable maternity skirts! What a wonderful giveaway!
I like nC Caribbean Sea skirt
I love these skirts! So cute! I can always use more!
These are beautiful skirts and such a flattering cut. Thanks for doing this review and bringing these to my attention. Even if I don’t win, I think I’ll buy one for myself. I LOVE wearing skirts but need a gentle, stretchy waist against my belly (still tender from the CS 10 months ago!).
I understand, having undergone a section myself! Thanks for entering, Martha, and good luck. ~Anne
I like their Classic Black Skirt.
I love the Maternity Summer Abstract skirt!
Oh the maternity skirts are so nice. It is hard to pick just one 🙂 I really like city chic, aline, ruffles, summer fun and black and white floral print. I also love that you can pick different lengths. That is awesome!
I love the details and color of the Buckle Down skirt… 🙂
I love New Creation skirts! I had two my last pregnancy, and they were fantastic. I would love to have a non-maternity denim one.
I love new creations but I’ve never bought anything from them. I would love to win, new clothes don’t come to mommy often!
Im loving the Buckle Down Forest Green skirt!
I would love to get the Natalie skirt!
I love that you have modest maternity skirts! They are so hard to find!!
I have two skirts from NCA and I really like them. They fit wonderfully and I’ve had them both for a few years… they wear wonderfully also. Neither of the styles are still available. 🙁 I got permanent marker on the red denim one… so sad!
Thanks for the opportunity!
One of my favorite styles sold out, too (the French skirt with a ruffle). Red denim sounds really neat!! ~Anne
I love the look of the buckle down skirt and the double ruched one, also the fact that they do come in different lengths. I would love to try these skirts!
would love to get one of their 100% Silk Filled Comforters
I wish I had maternity skirts when I was pregnant. I like their silk comforters too!
I love the “must have” ruched skirt – so lovely.
I’m pregnant with my 4th and I would get the same exact skirt as you. It looks great!
Margot Denim is such a cute stylish skirt. I loved all their clothes so pretty and they look so comfy too.
I like the Diagonal Stretch Denim skirt
I like the ruched skirt. It’s cute and unique.
I love the No Ziggy Denim Skirt, as well as many others
