Think you might need to give more info. What dress size are you classing as fat? How far gone? Where have you tried?

I found BonPrix pretty good but they are pretty expensive!
Asda George go up to a 20 I think and also next weren't too bad if I remember correctly!

Mothercare go up to a 20. So do peacocks. Matalan online but its a bit hit and miss

Dorothy Perkins, asos and maybe New Look. Depends on exact size though as others have said.

Size 18/20. Last time I wore a lot of clothes that were normal but stretchy but fancy accentuating everything as will be my last pregnancy.

I was a 16/18 when pregnant and got loads of stuff from ASOS. They often have a lot in the sale.

New look/ Dorothy Perkins

I've found Asda to be quite generous. I was a 18/20 pre pregnancy depending on cut of clothes (ive got large upper arms and thighs so tailored stuff was difficult). I've been ordering size 18 and 20 from asda online for work tops and then taking back whichever is now good and ive found that the 20s are quite generous. I also bought a couple of nice tops/dresses from debenhams online as well. For casual stuff I've just bought men's tshirts and hoodies from ASDA as well in either large or xl as cheap and don't care if they stretch (can always use as sleeping tops/for dossing around at home/cleaning/painting etc)
Jeans I have found the mothercare blooming marvellous over bump size 20 to be really comfy.
Hope this helps :)

Top wise I use website called anything5pound.com and go to there plus size section and get tops in size 20 that are flowing and long seem to fit well for a pregnancy belly.

I am 34 weeks and still using my size 18 and 20 leggings but have also got over bump leggings from H&M there size XL fit well and are only £7.99

Asda jeans at size 20 under bump are to big for me but there size 20 over bump fit well seem very generous in size 20 at Asda.

I rang from size 16 in dresses to 20 in jeans I'm bottom heavy so looking around helps :) Hope that's some help expesh if you do not want to spend loads.

I was a size 18 my last pregnancy and I have a few lovely pieces from h&m that I still have in the hope that I will be able to have dc3 .

Also Asos and new look .

Next. Have a look online, they usually have some on sale in the clearance section

LakeOfDreams · 22/02/2015 20:49

I got a pair of decent jeans and a dress I think from bonprix but they are expensive. Asda online have a reasonable selection but I find stuff tends to come up a bit big so you may want to be prepare that you need to exchange stuff!!

Bon Prix was my saviour last time. Simply Be have stopped doing maternity clothes which has annoyed me. I've a Pinterest board with plus size maternity stuff on it as I'm about to start buying mine:

Tesco, Asos, Next and Peacocks are also worth looking at.

I also found in my last pregnancy that empire line tops from places like Yours Clothing made good maternity tops (usually I would avoid them as they make me look pregnant Wink )

Just today I've discovered Gap do up to a size 20 in maternity clothes

McFox · 24/02/2015 08:35

I was a 16/18 when I was pregnant and found the Mary Portas range in HoF really good and there was loads of size 18/20 in the sales too.
