Really struggling to find anything to wear to work these days. I'm an 18/20, big chested, carrying a large "pouch" from c section number one. I need a new outfit for a fancy work thing coming up - needs to be super comfy, stretchy fabrics, super cheap as I'm skint! Any suggestions? I usually go for a stretchy midi skirt, tights and jumper but need to shake it up.

I wore Lyra dresses from lady vintage as maternity dresses to work whilst pregnant was a similar dress size to you. I could wear them afterwards too to breastfeed.

Oh my gosh they are gorgeous! Need to try and lower my budget a little bit I think though unfortunately :(

Omg ASOS. ASOS has some fantastic jumpsuits in right now and they are SO COMFY.

Someone told me to look on eBay for maternity bundles in my size. Ive taken the advice and should have a bundle arriving this week with a range of jumpers and leggings in. I'm going to wear them with black smart jeans/treggings and a blazer for work.

There's some good things on there if you can be patient and sift through.

@CAG12 ah I didn't know ASOS did "plus size"! Will look now.
@LolaSmiles brilliant idea - eBay never crossed my mind. Just bid on a bundle.

Forgot to say if you add them to your basket for a little while and don’t checkout they will suddenly give you a discount code. They have sales quite often too so worth signing up to the newsletter.

Yeah they do! If you scroll to the bottom, its in the 'clothing ranges' section, just above maternity.

You can get some right bargains!

Happy Mama has nice stuff and is very reasonable price wise.

If you’re a size 18/20 you may have better luck going to the Plus size ranges rather than maternity ones. Most of the maternity ranges that produce decent things stop at an 16/18.
