Set across a joy-filled weekend in Rye, spanning from a vineyard welcome party to an apple orchard celebration, every detail felt deeply personal and intentionally curated.</p><p>Rather than defaulting to traditional bridesmaid dresses, Tamara asked her bridal party to rent their outfits via By Rotation, giving them the freedom to wear premium pieces they genuinely loved. True to form, the circularity didn’t stop there: post-wedding, she listed key pieces from her own bridal wardrobe on the app, too.</p><p><strong>Scroll to read more and rent your <a href="https://byrotation.com/collections/wedding-guest">wedding outfits</a>. </strong></p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/IMG_1.png" width="791" height="1101" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/IMG.png" width="791" height="1101" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div></figure><p><strong>Set the scene for us: tell us about your wedding</strong><br>Our wedding weekend took place in Rye, the destination of our first road trip together and our favourite escape from the chaos of London. We wanted to create an elevated, meticulously curated experience that felt undeniably us.</p><p>We kicked things off with a welcome party at a local vineyard, hosting everyone with wine and wood-fired pizza. Giving guests the opportunity to meet the day before was the best decision, everyone was already familiar, so by the time we hit the dancefloor on the wedding day, there were no cliques, just one big group celebrating.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-58.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/Copy-of-5.-amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-62.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div></figure><p>For the main event, we chose a complete dry-hire venue set on a stunning apple orchard to retain absolute creative control - a vision brought to life over 12 months by our brilliant planner, Amanda Whiston. We wanted bold colours, exceptional food, and a rhythm to the day that felt natural. We used draping to section off the venue, meaning each phase unfolded in a newly revealed space. The drinks reception leaned into my heritage with a live classical Indian orchestra and Sri Lankan canapés. The wedding breakfast featured delicious sharing plates and long tables to encourage conversation, and for the evening, the staging, lighting, live band and DJ transformed the space into our own personal rave cave!</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/Copy-of-11.-amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-104.jpg" width="3016" height="4524" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/Copy-of-10.-amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-127.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div></figure><p><strong>If you had to capture your wedding mood board in just three words, what would they be and why?</strong><br>Warm, colourful, and intentional. Warm, because we wanted the hospitality to feel incredibly inviting; colourful, as we actively steered away from traditional, muted bridal palettes in favour of bold, joyful tones; and intentional, because every single detail, from the venue to the fashion, was meticulously chosen to reflect us.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/taylarjayde-photography-TM0526-1.jpg" width="3361" height="5042" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/tamama-wedding-spotlight-11-3.png" width="4500" height="6000" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/taylarjayde-photography-TM0526-12.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div><figcaption><a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/ckcdg8znn6uwa081702r0wjab">Jacquemus</a> dress, <a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cm8rkvrsi000vuh4xqgjxye62">Sydney Lane</a> dress, <a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cm9hhczyh00ewnb0dci3ui163">Rat &amp; Boa</a> dress, <a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cmo00tkkx0091oem0wk6ug5o9">Arcina Ori</a> dress</figcaption></figure><p><strong>You incorporated fashion rental into your wedding through By Rotation. What drew you to that decision, and how did you approach dressing your bridesmaids in rented looks?</strong><br>Circular fashion is woven into my everyday life, so it was a no-brainer to incorporate it into our wedding. I wanted my five bridesmaids to look and feel their absolute best, which meant completely ditching the archaic, wear-it-once bridesmaid uniform.</p><p>To guide the aesthetic, I created a public '<a href="https://byrotation.com/search?collectionId=cmm24em3h002v7yjj5fkfu2gq">Saved Folder</a>' on the By Rotation app based on our wedding’s colour palette. It functioned as a digital atelier, giving the girls a vibe to follow while granting them total freedom of choice. Instead of buying them identical dresses they’d inevitably want to hide at the back of a cupboard, I gifted them By Rotation gift cards to fund their rentals.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/tamama-wedding-spotlight-08.png" class="kg-image" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></figure><p><strong>How did renting shape the experience for your bridal party, both stylistically and financially?</strong><br>It completely transformed the experience. Stylistically, the girls were able to wear relevant premium pieces that actually flattered their individual silhouettes and personal styles, rather than being squeezed into a homogeneous look. It resulted in a highly cohesive bridal party that celebrated their individuality</p><p>Financially, it’s a game-changer. For a fraction of the retail price, they were wearing premium pieces. Ultimately, the weekend ended, the photos were incredible, and the dresses went straight back to the lenders. Zero waste, zero wardrobe guilt, and maximum aesthetic impact</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/Copy-of-9.-amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-94.jpeg" width="2800" height="3687" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-63-1.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div></figure><p><strong>Now that the wedding is over, what from your bridal wardrobe did you decide to list for rental?</strong><br>I’ve already listed two very special pieces: the <a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cmpveg3ji008roqn59jzlcuul">Posse</a> dress I wore to our welcome party, and the <a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cmpwgt42t000x3qrid83pcvqg">bespoke orange saree</a> by an Indian designer that I changed into for our drinks reception. It’s the ultimate circular fashion loop, and I love the idea of these pieces living on and being enjoyed by others.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-133.jpg" width="3275" height="4913" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/Copy-of-12.-amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-140.jpg" width="3648" height="5472" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></div></div></div><figcaption><a href="https://byrotation.com/listings/cmo00tkkx0091oem0wk6ug5o9">Arcina Ori</a> dress</figcaption></figure><p><strong>For brides considering fashion rental but unsure whether it’s right for their wedding, what would your advice be?</strong><br>Start by integrating it in a way that genuinely elevates the experience. You don’t have to rent your actual wedding dress if you don't want to; there are so many other touchpoints. For me, the bridesmaids' dresses were the natural fit.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/06/amanda-whiston-weddings-taylarjayde-photography-MT0526-53-1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt=""I Asked My Bridesmaids To Rent Their Dresses" Rotator, Tamara"></figure><p><strong>Of all the pieces from your wedding wardrobe, which are you most excited to see take on a second life?</strong><br>Definitely my actual wedding dress. When I invested in it, I refused to let it be a one-hit wonder. I am having it dyed and the train altered so that it becomes a permanent, wearable staple in my wardrobe, rather than an archived memory sitting in a box.</p><p><strong>What’s one thing about bridal fashion that surprised you—something no one really tells brides beforehand?</strong><br>That there are absolutely no rules! I wore yellow to my welcome party, a wedding dress customised to feel entirely me, and a vibrant orange saree. Don’t be afraid to shop your own wardrobe, either; my shoes were four years old and most of my jewellery was borrowed from family, adding a really meaningful touch. Ultimately, the more you lean into your authentic style instead of trying to play a part, the more effortless the result will be.</p><p>Head to the By Rotation app now to plan your <a href="https://byrotation.com/collections/wedding-guest">wedding rentals.</a></p><p>Wedding Planner: <a href="https://www.amandawhistonevents.com/">Amanda Whiston</a><br>Wedding Photographer: <a href="https://www.taylarjaydephotography.com/">Taylar Jayde</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Renting Through My Pregnancy]]></title><description><![CDATA[How to make the most of your existing wardrobe and tips for all your trimesters

It’s a long day on your feet, from walking between the parade ring and track to making it through to the Ascot Bandstand singalong after the final race. I always recommend prioritising styles you can genuinely last the day in.</p><p><strong>If someone was renting their outfit for the first time, what advice would you give them?</strong><br>Treat your rented look the same way you would borrowing from your most stylish friend. Go for pieces you genuinely love, rather than what you think you should wear.

I decided to go up by 1-2 sizes, which actually opened up so many rental options on the By Rotation app that are otherwise not for me.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-08-at-12.16.00.png" width="1100" height="1520" alt="Our Founding Story continues: From Honeymoon to Babymoon"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/05/DSC06459-1.JPG" width="1080" height="1616" alt="Our Founding Story continues: From Honeymoon to Babymoon"></div></div></div><figcaption>Debute dress</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Any unexpectedly perfect Babymoon moments — the kind you know you’ll think about once the baby’s here?</strong><br>The kindness of all the staff at Villa Serbelloni, they really made me feel special and looked after my well-being.

She has spent over a decade immersed in the industry, evolving from stylist to seasoned collector of designer pieces. Including the <strong>infamous <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/tory-burch-yellow-dresses-cmm84zr7u027alil4fboz3f9z">Tory Burch</a> dress </strong>that is exclusively available to rent on By Rotation.</p><p>In this interview, she takes us inside her wardrobe philosophy, her journey into rental, and the pieces that continue to define her ever-evolving style.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/BAG.png" width="791" height="1101" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/sandra-IG-12.png" width="4500" height="6000" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div></div></div></figure><p><strong>Tell us a about yourself... </strong><br>I’m Sandra, and I’m originally from Lithuania, but London has been home for the last 13 years. I inherited a shopping problem from my grandma, and I have been working in the fashion industry all my adult life to not only support it but also get deeper in it. I fell out of love with being a stylist, and so my main activity right now is selling and renting designer fashion pieces. I love the thrill I get from hunting down something fabulous and well-priced. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/TORY-BURCH.png" class="kg-image" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"><figcaption>Rent the <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/tory-burch-yellow-dresses-cmm84zr7u027alil4fboz3f9z">Tory Burch Dress</a></figcaption></figure><p><strong>What’s the story behind you finding the <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/tory-burch-yellow-dresses-cmm84zr7u027alil4fboz3f9z">Tory Burch</a> mirror dress, and did you buy it with the intention of sharing it on By Rotation</strong><br>Unfortunately, I don’t have a romantic story to share about buying this particular dress. I was at a sample sale, and my sample sale ‘technique’ is to browse and grab all the things I like, edit it down, repeat the same sequence one more time and check out. I believe I’m not the only shopper doing this, so I found the dress on my second round, literally dumped on one of the rails. I checked with the lady trying on some clothes whether the dress was hers, and it wasn’t, so I took it with me. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-15-at-16.42.57.png" width="1132" height="1520" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-15-at-16.57.30.png" width="1116" height="1510" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div></div></div><figcaption><strong>Left</strong>: Eshita in 2025, renting the Troy Burch dress in the USA <strong>Right</strong>: Eshita in 2026 renting Sandra's <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/tory-burch-yellow-dresses-cmm84zr7u027alil4fboz3f9z">Yellow Tory Burch</a></figcaption></figure><p>I never knew Tory Burch designed the dress, and I wasn’t looking for it specifically. Once I saw the dress, I remembered that Eshita, By Rotation's Founder &amp; CEO, rented a version in pink from the USA app last year, and I was pleasantly surprised that I found it in a different colour. I tried the dress, and since I need help to zip it up and breathe, I decided this will be a purchase to be enjoyed by other women, as I couldn’t possibly leave it behind. </p><p><strong>Beyond the mirror dress, which piece in your wardrobe is on a constant rotation? </strong><br>The Taller Marmo Diva gown was very popular for a few years; many happy memories were witnessed by that dress. I recently sold it, and it was quite a sentimental moment. Currently, my Solace London Talia gowns are the most popular - I wore the open shoulder black one for the opera at the Lincoln Centre in New York on New Year's Eve and from that point I started acquiring them in different colours and sizes. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/solace.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"><figcaption>Rent the <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/solace-london-pink-dresses-cm6p1bfz50003gwa5j7qvpfvy">Solace London</a> dress</figcaption></figure><p><strong>5. When you’re shopping for new designer pieces, are you looking for personal style, rentability or a perfect 50/50 split?</strong><br>It is quite rare that I look for rentability only. It is important for me to first and foremost like the item. I’ve been working in fashion and shopping professionally (and addictively) for more than 10 years, so I know when I see something good. I think it’s in my blood, so it comes naturally to me. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/sandra-IG-07.png" width="4500" height="6000" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/By-Rotation-x-Uber-12.jpg" width="4247" height="5309" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></div></div></div></figure><p>I often shop for the occasions I don’t necessarily have in my agenda, which means I have items that were never worn by me, but they live a fabulous life regardless. Having said that, if I find something I love and it’s not my size, chances are I’ll still buy it, because I love good clothes too much – this is exactly what happened with the Tory Burch mirror dress.</p><p><strong>We’re obsessed with your interiors. What are your top homeware picks for adding personality and pops of colour to a space?</strong></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-15-at-16.53.10.png" class="kg-image" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"><figcaption><strong>Left to Right: </strong><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53150892">Sophie Bille Brahe</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53150929">Bernadette</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53150969">Clessidra Sommersa</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53150728">Laetitia Rouget</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53150953">David Hockney</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-53151226">Dinosaur Designs</a></figcaption></figure><p><strong>6. When did you decide to transition from a collector to a rotator? </strong><br>I was ‘renting out’ my wardrobe for photoshoots long before rental was a thing. The first time I rented something out to a stranger via the app was August, 2022. It was far from a perfect experience for me, but I decided to give it a shot regardless. </p><p>Frankly, I saw it as a great opportunity to earn extra cash. The thinking that I have access to all these fabulous things and could share them with other women for a fraction of the cost to them came around the time when I realised I have a serious shopping problem. Now I often buy by using the excuse of renting it and making some of the money back. I’m very naughty. Having said that, I only have a limited wardrobe available to rent, and I wouldn’t rent items that would make me upset if damaged beyond repair. To sum up, I have part of my wardrobe living in my house rent-free, and part of it actually working on By Rotation.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/By-Rotation-x-Uber-11--1-.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></figure><p><br><strong>7. For someone looking to start their own rental side-hustle, what is the one piece of advice you’d share? </strong><br>Don’t follow the trends blindly. If you see a dress all over your social media and there are already 10 dresses available on the app, chances are yours will not necessarily be the first choice. Stick to your personal style, and your tribe will find you. Make sure your items are well kept, dry cleaned and fixed, if and when needed. Be fast and open with your communication, and make sure renters receive their items in time, and you insure your parcels. Always underpromise and overdeliver, and never the other way around. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/04/By-Rotation-x-Uber-pt2-1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="SPOTLIGHT: Sandra, The Dress Dealer"></figure><p><br><strong>8. What is one designer piece you’re currently hunting to add to your rental listings?</strong><br>I’m not hunting for any designer pieces; they’re always hunting for me! I got my SS26 Chanel fix, so I’m happy and also over the madness we saw in March. I’m loving Chloe a lot this season, but I’m not sure I can justify the price of some items that I would like to have. Other than that, I have a lot of Dries van Noten and Alaia pieces on my wishlist – these houses are very different, but the clothes make me happy the same way. Oh, and if I could hunt down Nour Hammour's leopard coat that I slept on for too long last season, I’d be thrilled.</p><p>Head to the app now to <strong><a href="https://byrotation.com/">rent unique, sold-out designer items</a></strong> for a fraction of the retail price.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Team Retreat at The Wild Duck]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Looking to escape to the English countryside?

It's amazing how useful these undergarments are. You can turn a short-sleeve outfit into a long-sleeve outfit, swap colours of the undershirts to keep the outfit feeling fresh, keep yourself warm, and if you can’t close a button on your top or your shirt comes undone, there is an extra layer covering you. I’ve worn these under cardigans, short-sleeve dresses, shirts and just by themselves with accessories over them. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/_-2-.jpg" width="4284" height="5712" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/IMG_0640.jpg" width="3024" height="4032" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></div></div></div><figcaption>Anya wearing green <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/sleeper-green-dresses-cmb22affd00l9ptxxyzid42b1">Sleeper dress</a></figcaption></figure><p>My favourite outfit was a sleeveless wool <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/nanushka-black-dresses-cmh2kxzry05ze40h122xx5426">Nanushka dress</a> with a flower, which I bought during my pregnancy. It was warm &amp; comfortable, and I wore it with pink and black turtlenecks to keep it varied, and the flower on the belly kept nicely stretching and growing throughout the pregnancy.  I’ve relied on dresses mainly as they give you more space to grow and move around. Earlier in the pregnancy, I also wore a lot of pyjama and “nightgown” style outfits from brands like Sleeper, Olivia Von Halle, For Restless Sleepers and Dreamers Rebels. I am planning to return to a lot of these postpartum.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/_-11-.jpg" class="kg-image" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></figure><p>In terms of accessories, I became a fan of <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/miu-miu-burgundy-accessories-clmsz3daz0005uv0sjr18f5vn">headbands</a> as an easy way to elevate an outfit and wore different earrings, necklaces and beads, including ones I made myself. It felt like a good time to be girly and playful.</p><p>My <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/manolo-blahnik-metallic-shoes-cm9g3dgzy00826uh5omeddv81">Manolo Blahnik</a> flats became my go-to shoes over the pregnancy for going out, they look festive and are comfortable. Whilst to keep myself warm in the last months of pregnancy, which fell during winter, I heavily relied on an oversized Max Mara coat, which I can still button up in the last days of pregnancy and have a fluffy headband to go with it to keep it cute and fun. </p><p><strong>What are your thoughts on buying pregnancy-specific clothing vs renting your wardrobe?</strong><br>I didn’t buy any pregnancy-specific clothes except for leggings. It felt a bit pointless as the body was changing all the time, and given that pregnancy only lasts 9 months, I don’t know what I would do with the maternity clothes after. I adapted as much as I could from my wardrobe, rented for special occasions and bought a minimal amount of clothes from non-maternity brands, which I felt I could wear throughout pregnancy and after.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/_-13-.jpg" width="3024" height="4032" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/_-1-.jpg" width="3024" height="4032" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></div></div></div></figure><p>I’ve actually cleared my own personal wardrobe a lot during pregnancy, reviewing some items which have been in my closet for many years. It felt like a good time to let go of them and clear up space for a new stage in my life. I also didn’t want the pressure of feeling like I have to return to my pre-pregnant size and body. It's great if that happens, but if it doesn’t, that’s also ok and I can move into my new status and new chapter wearing new clothes either way. So I’ve been very careful regarding what new things I add, as I want to keep the possibilities open for a new style evolution after I give birth. </p><p><strong>What is one rule you stick by when it comes to maternity dressing?</strong>Comfort over anything else, but make it cute!</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/03/_-4-.jpg" width="4284" height="5712" alt=""One Hack I've Been Living By During My Pregnancy" Anya"></div></div></div></figure><p><strong>How have you maintained your personal sense of style during this stage?</strong><br>Although I could not wear a lot of my more fitted feminine items, I went into a more girly direction with my choice of colours, styles and accessories, keeping it playful, colourful and comfortable.

I've had the opportunity to chat to rental owners and they are all such lovely people who have been happy to help with any questions. If you're even thinking about it slightly then 100% try it once, you won't look back!</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/01/2-3.png" width="1080" height="1440" alt="'I Rented For Every Occasion In 2025’"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://journal.byrotation.com/content/images/2026/01/4.JPG" width="1536" height="2048" alt="'I Rented For Every Occasion In 2025’"></div></div></div><figcaption>Rent <a href="https://byrotation.com/products/pretty-lavish-blue-dresses-clxsvng8z002rwz0svukzl6w3">Pretty Lavish</a> dress</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Your top tip to finding the perfect rental</strong><br>I'll be specific with my search and make use of the filters to make sure you're only seeing clothes in your size.
