What's the most ridiculous non-maternity clothing that you've been able to wear in pregnancy (lighthearted)

I'm ~26 weeks pg and today I'm wearing a tent-like White Stuff top. I'm not tall, but it's a SIZE 8 and yet I reckon I'll be able to wear it throughout. I can't imagine what person with a 'real' size 8 body would wear this, but I shouldn't complain :)

I'm still doing quite a lot of improvising with my wardrobe - leggings and tunics and anything made of jersey (although I'm looking more and more sausage-like, squeezing myself into these stretchy things). And my coat doesn't do up - just doing up the top button and crossing my fingers it'll get warm soon.

Please tell me it's not just me!

I'm with you! 15 weeks pregnant but with twins and look about 20-22 weeks!! have given in and bought a pair of maternity jeans, and a nice pair of black trousers from next for work with an elasticated waist (but not maternity!!). lots of stretchy tops and chunky cardigans at the moment, but fear I am going to have to give in soon.....Sad

26+5

Got some tshirts in three sizes bigger from primark that fit the bump great and will last. A normal long jumper from H&M in xs which looks better more fitted than it did baggy. Couple of tunic style dresses also size 8 that I wore pre pregnancy... have even got some size 6 tops that I only wore a couple of time as were over baggy. Fashion is strange :)

Everything else though... maternity all the way, including jeans and trousers
