Kim Kardashian defends her tight maternity fashion Kim Kardashian is going to stick with dressing for her body type while pregnant - and that means tight clothes.

KIM Kardashian says she has no choice but to wear tight maternity clothes because of her voluptuous figure. Flowing clothes just don't flatter her curves or growing baby bump, the 5"2" reality star told Du Jour magazine. "I think because I have big boobs it could make me look heavier if I don't, like, show off my waist or something," she said. So I just have kind of learned to dress one way only. Khloe can wear flowy, pretty things because she's really tall. Kourtney is, like, really little. I'm just kind of in between, so it doesn't really work. However, Kardashian didn't appear to be feeling too self-conscious in the Du Jour photo shoot, her first since announcing her pregnancy with rapper boyfriend Kanye West. The images, inspired by the old Hollywood glamour of Elizabeth Taylor, carefully obscured any growing baby bump, showing Kardashian swimming, reading in bed or artfully covered up by a fringed shawl or pile of cute puppies.
