I got some nice ones from dp, they are maternity but surprisingly quiet fashionable at moment.

ooh, thanks everyone. i will try dotty ps as their clothes tend to work when i'm not preg. have just looked at their website and there is surpising amount of maternity stuff.

i tried hennes but didn't find anything there. mothercare ones also looked amusingly terrible. will see if i can get to a primark if dp no good.

I also found it very hard to find shorts. I was suprised that different maternity lines dont really do them even though it is summer!! I did get some nice smart black ones at DP but brought in desperation as they are the type you have to iron. I got some good denim ones at Blooming Marvelous. I hate short shorts so these two were the only respecable ones I could find. If you are wanting some for at home days - I got some jersey knit elastic band ones that are so comfy from George at ASDA for £2.50 each!! Cant go wrong at that price. Actually I am using them for PJ bottoms too as they are so comfortable. Asda also do the same type of skirts that are also really comfortable.
