Maternity dungarees?

I've bought some maternity jeans, but they do not stay up at all! I have a job in a cafe, so i can't do with pulling them up all the time...
Does anyone think that dungarees would be better? I know i would look a bit stupid, but at least hopefully i would be fully clothed!

I wore braces with my maternity jeans which wouldn’t stay up. I can’t say I enjoyed the experience, but it was better than the alternative.

I bought the braces from M&S. They aren’t amazing at staying attached - I’d try for my local tool shop for some handyman braces if I were to do it again - but they were definitely better than pulling my jeans up all the time.

Oh, and I got some under/over bump convertible yoga pants from Mothercare. They have always been amazing at staying up, even in the underbump position.

Now that my bump is fairly substantial, my overbump jeans stay up pretty well, which is a relief!

I've bought some maternity dungarees (as a fashion choice!) but they look ridiculous on me at the moment as my bump is no way big enough (21 weeks). I look like I could get a whole other person in there. I tend to wear jeggings (Next are my fave) or I've found some maternity jeans in Dorothy Perkins that have belt loops under the bump which have been useful.

It might just be the particular brand of jeans. I have 2 pairs of maternity jeans. One from new look which are fab and have never had any issues with them staying up (currently being used on 2nd pregnancy). My other pair are from Dorothy Perkins and I have the exact problem you describe. Will not stay up and constantly having to pull them up. I hardly ever wear these ones.

Just wear them with a loose shirt or cardigan on top and an attitude. I think they can look kind of sassy.
