Uniform alteration

Hello
Appreciate any input before I call some alteration places and potentially make a fool of myself.
My post keeps deleting so will keep it brief:

-Pregnant with 3rd- will show soon
-Wear an NHS tunic for work with trim and embroidered with job title
-We get given a generic white tent as a maternity uniform if required

  • uniform was already snug pre pregnancy!

Was wondering if it's possible to add a panel into the uniform to give me some growing room while still a) keeping the generic shape / look the same
B) not being an obvious maternity alteration

Uniform is compulsory and due to previous miscarriage don't want people at work knowing until I'm much further along.the colour of my uniform is white but it's that fairly stiff starched NHS uniform fabric.

Appreciate this is an odd niche request but I figured if anyone's likely to know ( aside from the people that do the job) it's MNetters

If your uniform was already snug, can you not just request a larger size for now?

It would be much easier to adjust a bigger size down than adding bits to your existing uniform

Sorry I should have added- in true ridiculous NHS style- to get a new uniform takes around 5 months! One of my colleagues recently went on Mat leave with that same plan and it arrived not long before she left 😂 however because the maternity one isn't embroidered it would be quick.

When I first started in this team my uniform took 3 months and at the time that was considered very fast!

Hello, can I add a discreet panel to my snug NHS tunic to accommodate my pregnancy while keeping its shape and avoiding an obvious maternity look?
