Makeovers

We surprised a reader with a makeover to update her pregnancy look

STYLIST JESS SAYS...

“With Reneilwe’s look, we wanted to focus on SA designers. Beautiful clothing in great quality fabrics always make a woman feel great! The jacket covers her arms and the longer length elongates her body. We moved the belt on the dress slightly upward to create a more slimming effect.”

RENEILWE SAYS...

I’ve been having all sorts of mood swings, so this makeover really boosted my confidence and made me feel amazing. I never thought I could look this beautiful while pregnant! I loved the outfit, and I learned I can still look trendy while pregnant. My hair and make-up looked so good, I didn’t want to take it off!”

“I’d got stretch marks a while ago when I was a bit overweight. So this time round with my pregnancy I just thought I don’t want any more. At my antenatal classes some of the other women seemed to think that stretch marks are unavoidable, but I’d seen some Bio-Oil TV ads with testimonials that were very convincing, and it’s a product that’s been around for a while, so I thought why not try it. I bought loads and used it everywhere and not only did I not get any more stretch marks, but the ones from before have really faded.”
