DP clothes? What's the consensus on fit/stretch

4m pregnant, in Germany, and cannot find anything decent here so was going to order Dorthy Perkins clothes online, but need to know in general how they fit.
I'm a curvy 18 pear shape when not preggy. Wide hips, and rather thick in the thigh but not much belly. G/H breasts. With this second pregnancy the belly is lower and bigger than before so the clothes I brought are a little snug on the lower curve of the belly (if that makes sense) -plus they're mostly fall/winter because of the previous timing of the last pregnancy.

I could wait until we're back at Easter...but have the need for new things now since the weather is changing for the better.
I'm especially looking at leggings and summery dresses.
Any ideas/thoughts on fit? I really need comfort and softness over high fashion/style. But I don't want to look frumpy.

Hi Bebe
I love Dotty P's - and I've been getting my maternity stuff there. I'm a stick thin size 8 though, so not sure I can help you much, other than to say the maternity leggings are AWESOME (and nice and cheap!)
They do a "label" called Purple as well which has some really cute stuff in it - nice classy dresses to wear over leggings, although I don't know how they're going to look when I'm 8 mths pg as its not a maternity label. But they're good for now with just a little bump in that "I'm not fat I'm pregnant" stage!

Thanks ladies :)
I'm thinking I may go for it...
I really like the look of the leggings, they look soft and comfy and I'm thinking even if it gets warm I could still wear them.

their sizes are small imo
i have thick thighs and have to buy a size up.
also they are short in the back and i often find that sleeves are tight even though the rest of the fit is right.

so i would size up.

Thank you super...I was thinking sizing up was wise in my case also. :)
