I am pregnant with my second baby, and have realised (again) how uninspiring official 'maternity' clothes are. I remember I actually wore many things that were not proper maternity wear, but high street things that worked for a pregnant shape. I particularly hated all the big baggy, bump hiding stuff, as it just made me look massive, and I unexpectedly preferred to wear more figure hugging things. My biggest tip is American Apparel, a store which is SOOOOO not going for the maternity market but I have found some excellent things in there, as it is mostly stretchy and hugs the bump, so flattering and great for basics. Here are my two top buys so far....anyone got any other high street non-official-maternity secrets to share?
Randomly, this is BRILLIANT for pregnancy and then for breast feeding due to the wrap over top bit: store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=rsa8344
Love this dress and got it when I wasn't pregnant, but intend to wear it and accessoriese with bump: store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=rsapo300
