PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 03/02/2008 20:44

I nipped into the city yesterday to go and get myself one of those fabric belts that formes used to sell at vast expense in loads of different colours - help get through the 'just fat - not yet maternity wear' stage ...anyway - Formes had gone ! No note nothing - so looked on line and you cannot seem to buy so....as my thread title! Anyone have one they have finished with and would like to sell me OR know where i can get one please!

Do you mean a fabric bump band thing to wear under tops? If so I have one bought from Seraphine, black one side, brown the other, if I can find it.

tassisssss · 03/02/2008 20:54

Bumpto3 sell them too if you want to avoid ebay!

Found it!
Its nice becuase its ruched at the sides which I think is more flattering than the plain ones, also good for holding in post birth belly ! (though I have to admit I was never organised enough to remember to wear it when I had new baby brain)
If you leave your email paulayates I'll send you a pic...

I got mine from topshop for £5

BearMama · 03/02/2008 22:58

As far as I know there is a Formes in Edinburgh, if that helps?

spottedandstriped · 04/02/2008 09:54

Not sure where you are in the country - but there is a formes on Grosvenor street off new bond street in London

TheHonEnid · 04/02/2008 09:55

Top shop did them when I was last pg 2 years ago

ggglimhoho · 04/02/2008 10:06

I have loads - five or six. Will swop you for a paperback and decaff teabgs!

or formes is online here in france....

michaela552 · 04/02/2008 15:53

TopShop and H&M do them. I think the TopShop ones are better. Both are much cheaper than the ones I saw on the net

barbamama · 04/02/2008 15:55

Topshop only do black ones I think and I could only ever find them in the oxford st one? (or ones with a maternity section maybe?)

makecakesnotwar · 04/02/2008 16:07

There is a formes in bromley.....hth

slinkiemalinki · 04/02/2008 16:39

Formes on Brompton Rd was still there yesterday!

bobsmum · 04/02/2008 16:46

Top shop have black , pink and white belly belts - but that was in the massive GLasgow store - maybe not in smaller ones. GOt a lovely maternity coat there the other week too.
