I have always had an hourglass dc figure, but size 14/16. My waist and back tend to be a lot smaller, than my boobs and bum, and to top it off, I am human being, y 5'3".

I am now 19 weeks and my already inflated boobs are getting bigger, and I have a big bump for 19 weeks. I desperatly need new bras and clothes, but really struggling to find anything that fits, and doesn't cost the earth.

I have just tried to buy some bras from figleaves, which have flexible wiring, but I can see they will be visible at the chest line of at least three of my five items of clothing that still kimd of fit me.

I have also tried ebay and amazon, but have had to send most things back kicking myself for wasting the money on PP.

Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying being pregnant, most of the time, and keep reminding myself all these cool and strange changes are making a human being, but want to look the part too, and of course, most importantly, support the sandbags I am carrying, without damaging them of me.

Any suggestions on bras and maternity clothes, for the big boobed, vertically challenged, slightly larger than life people amongst us?

Bravissimo is your friend Grin.

I was a 28F pre DC, rose to a 30L whilst breast feeding, and bravissimo was the only place that did bras that were big enough.

They're not cheap though.

Second Bravissimo, but I don't think they're that pricey compared to figleaves, bras for around £25-30.
However when you begin to get into the really busty territory (I'd count that as J and bigger) their number of styles reduces. I'm currently struggling to find anything not underwired in those sizes, and genuinely worry what I'll do when my milk comes.
For clothing I'm also short and curvy and have found everything I wear at H&M and ASOS. I've had lots of compliments and think I dress better pregnant than before!
Good luck finding bras and clothes.
