Really struggling with this in my 2nd pregnancy. I would be prepared to invest in a couple of good quality dresses / outfits to get me through winter. What brands would you recommend?

I have a couple of things from Isabella Oliver but not that happy with them. I don't think jersey actually works very well for me as a material as it just makes me feel like a sausage Confused.

Have some h&m and gap stuff from before but it hasn't lasted very well - gone a bit bobbly etc.

TIA

Seraphine seems decent design and price wise. Just about to order a few bits from there so can't report on quality but it gets good reviews. Prices are a fair bit less than IO too. There are some good work dresses and trousers on there Smile

I second the first two posters. Have had some lovely stuff from both. Asos can have some nice pieces too.

New Look - almost my entire maternity wardrobe is from there and have loads of comments about having nice dresses, etc. ASOS are ok although a couple of bits I ordered but went back as just odd fit and not really like the pictures on line.

I recently got a few things from crave. And they had a 70% sale on so several bargains. Wouldn't have paid their full price tho.

I ought some smart black work trousers and work-suitable tops from JojoMaman Bebe - I'm an office manager so have to be fairly smart, though not quite suited and booted.

If you don't mind splashing out a bit, try Slacks & Co. I bought some trousers which are fab, great quality, and go with maternity tops from IO, Seraphine etc. They were expensive but I wear them 3 or 4 days a week and will get my money's worth before due date in Feb.

Thanks all. Some really useful tips here - some brands I hadn't thought of at all. Will start researching. Can't wait to get some nice things that actually fit me!
