I went to High St Ken yesterday. Seraphine has a lovely website and I thought it a good place to go grab some basic maternity wear to get me through til Christmas at work and to pack for my 3 month trip away. I also need a dress for a black tie event in January when I will definitely not fit anything currently in my wardrobe.......
Why do they assume only skinny girls get pregnant?!
I am so disappointed. Worst shopping trip of my life. I am usually a size 14-16 but they had NOTHING on their rails except size 8 & 10 with a few 12s hanging about. Really crushed my confidence. No wonder most pregnant people rely on Internet shopping but I am fast running out of time to receive an order and send back whatever does not work.
I did fit on a tankini but you would have to have boobs like fried eggs to wear it. I want support goddamit.
Back to the drawing board.... I might brave Mothercare OXford Street today. Perhaps a less up market store will cater for the bigger boomed lady?!
FFS I am now an F cup. Depressingly figleaves maternity swimwear does not seem to go that big. How can this be?!
Ladies any tips on buying maternitybswimwear or basic staples would be much appreciated. (unless you are all skinny minies of course in which case you must have loads of choice so I do not want to hear it!)
