"These are so much tighter...Everything is just not where I want it to be."
"I feel like most of you know when you're pregnant, your feet swell up. But what I didn't know is that sometimes your feet stay swelled up and your foot grows an entire size. That's what happened to me. So I gotta replace my entire shoe closet."
"I put together a Lanvin shirt and dress from Net-A-Porter to make this pretty outfit. Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth. And so many clothes from stores didn't fit either. So. Many. It doesn't send a great message to women when their bodies don't fit into what brands have to offer. It's alienating and confusing. And I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back. That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby's entire food supply."
Several high-profile women report lasting physical and wardrobe changes after childbirth. Olivia Culpo noted tighter jeans and shifting body proportions. Vanessa Hudgens described permanent foot swelling and the need to replace an entire shoe collection. Blake Lively recalled widespread sample and retail sizing that did not accommodate her postpartum body, calling that exclusion alienating and confusing while noting her body produced milk for her baby. Kourtney Kardashian shared a pumping photo that earned praise for presenting a realistic postpartum image. These accounts highlight clothing and footwear challenges, body-image impacts, and mixed feelings about confidence during postpartum recovery.
