Mums-to-be are hot for ethical baby clothing, whether it be organic cotton, fair trade or bamboo, but oddly this ethical vibe hasn't made much of an impression on maternity fashion brands. I've searched high and low, and wide, on the internet, for three attractive ethical maternity wear ranges.

1. Bamboo Baby
Organic brand Bamboo Baby has produced a range of simple and elegant maternity pieces, with a strong emphasis on casual and comfortable. The brand uses moso bamboo, which is grown without any pesticides or fertilisers. It is one of the world's fastest growing plants so once it has been cut it regenerates fast, eliminating the need to replant.

Attractive tops and vests feature in the range, either in simple cuts or with ruche effects. The Maternity and Nursing Wrap Dress (pictured here) is a beautifully simple piece just as the LBD is, but minus the 'L'. The wrap around detail is flattering for the neckline and rests comfortably above the stomach and for a cool £19.99 it's a no brainer.

Bamboo Baby is available at a number of online sites including Crave Maternity and Spirit of Nature.
