Cole is the star of one of The Bump Wear Project’s favourite blogs, Pacing the Panic Room. If you have not seen the maternity series yet, we suggest you get over there and check it out. Cole allowed her husband Ryan to write ‘candidly and vividly about the building of their family’. It’s a great read. The baby has now been born, but we thought The Bump Wear Project should pay homage to Cole and how wonderful she looked during her pregnancy.
As you can see from the montage below, Cole looked gorgeous. We spent quite some time going through the whole maternity series (again!) to find our favourite bump rocking moments – Ryan took these pictures. He’s a great photographer and you can find out more about his work on their site.

So from left to right we have Cole at the following stages of her pregnancy:
- Week 32 – The Circle Scarf by American Apparel
- Week 38 – Fine Jersey T Dress by American Apparel and Denim Shorts
- Week 29 – Navy Sheer Rib Loose Sleeveless Dress (one size fits all) by American Apparel
- Week 24 – Oxford Blue / Pinpoint Oxford Shirt Dress by American Apparel
What we love most about these photos is how gorgeous the fit of these clothes are. They embrace the bump, and Cole looks comfortable in what she is wearing. And they’re not maternity – but who would have known? So our top tip – check out American Apparel!

Just followed a link from twitter. I love the dress on the left and the t-shirt but cant see the stipey one on the list of colour choices.
Nor me. This photo is a little old though….??? May have been customised. I am not sure to be honest.
She looks fab!! I wonder did she go up a size or just stretch out normal sizes?
I was thinking the same J-Lo coz she does look fab and I wouldnt have thought it of American Apparel
OMG She looks awesome. is she a model?
I have read the maternity series, shes not a model by trade she just models for ryans work. she looks awesome though!
