Short-sleeved maternity tops with actual sleeves!

[aliphil]

I'm due in August so will need some short-sleeved tops, but so many places only do cap sleeves, which I hate - I find a sleeve that ends in my armpit really uncomfortable, as well as not especially wanting to show off my upper arms! Does anyone know where I can get some maternity t-shirts or something with actual sleeves that come at least halfway to my elbow all round? I am a pre-preg size 20 with big boobs, which doesn't help ...

I got a nice top from New look the other day, it covers about a third to halfway down my upper arm but it is loose style (i hate anything digging into my armpits too and it has been worse while pregnant as anything very tight around my arms, neck or stomach makes me feel sick!

Just get non maternity ones a size bigger if you go for tunic style longer tops. I agree that cap sleeves are annoying. I have slightly chubby upper arms and they are not a good look on me either.

I second Foof. Matalan are good. Look in their Rogers section too.

Thanks all, but unfortunately there is not a lot out there! New Look only do up to an 18, and DP, Matalan, etc. have nothing between the cap sleeves and the 3/4 length, whereas I am looking for short but comfortable. I guess I will have to follow KatAndKit's suggestion of tunics in larger sizes. Thank goodness for Yours Clothing!
