Rebecca Taylor's Maternity Clinic
For designer Rebecca Taylor, the mother of 2-year-old twin girls and a 3-month-old boy, dressing well while pregnant was surprisingly hard. "Everything you'd think would be cute isn't," she says. But by her second go-round, she had it down to a science. Here, her secrets (including lots of nonmaternity staples).

It's forgiving and in fashion: "I wore mine with a T-shirt, leggings, and motorcycle boots."
