Affiliate Program Policies and Disclosures
Dress for Maternity is a maternity styling blog with written content and visuals created by this site or used with permission from their original copyright holder or through the terms of use of our affiliate programs. Unless a post is marked as sponsored, we have not received or requested direct paid sponsorship from the brands and products we feature in blog posts (i.e., features of attire brands or designers are not sponsored posts unless otherwise marked). However, we do use affiliate programs as outlined below to help monetize the site and as a performance-based form of sponsorship in many posts.
An affiliate link indicates that we may receive a small percentage or commission if an item we feature as part of a post results in a qualified lead or sale to the retailer. We choose the items based on receiving image permissions, our personal recommendations based on aesthetic appeal or use of an item as well as my own as well as their use to my readers for the purposes of finding suitable maternity attire and other items that pertain to the topics of pregnancy.
When this site participates on Pinterest, Facebook, or Threads, we may pin or post images that occasionally include affiliate links. If you have any questions about the nature of any link, please contact me at info (at) dressfortheprom.com.
In the case of most blog posts that feature brands, we have contacted representatives of the brands or products we feature, simply to obtain permission to use their images in a licensed and royalty-free manner as mentioned above in the Terms of Submission, and to understand more about the product, but direct compensation of any kind has not been requested unless noted.
All of the products we recommend are handpicked by us and featured solely because we genuinely enjoy or appreciate the aesthetic or brand and the item(s). Featured products are selected because they fit the recommendations and style of the Dress for Maternity editorial content, and the product would be of use and of interest to our readership. The integrity of this blog is very important; therefore, we only recommend items that we feel correctly reflect the Dress for Maternity aesthetic and style.
Please read more details and the most current version of Affiliate Policies.
