Non-frumpy maternity wear problem

14 replies

ButIForgetMyself · 23/09/2008 22:33

Anybody know of a really nice non-frumpy non-floral maternity dress that I can wear for my DP's gig on Saturday? Sick of going to his gigs in black trousers and a smock top. I'm a size 16 but curvy rather than overweight, 26 weeks but not a massive bump. I don't really suit long dresses, would ideally be just over the knee so I could wear with knee-high boots. Black is good, but I have an open mind.

Any recommendations would be greatly received and appreciated.

Try something from Isabella Harvey (online). Great wrap tops and trousers, or sexy dresses

New Look do maternity these days, cheap and cheerful but some nice pieces. It might only be in bigger branches though so I'd give them a ring or check website to see which branches stock it.

Maternity wear has come on leaps and bounds since the bad old days of the 70s/Mid 80s - high street retailers almost all have a decent and stylish range - for example, i think that Peacocks have a great range of maternity clothes - cheap but fashionable, well worth a look. Oh, and hi everyone!

Pria means Isabella Oliver

pricey but good, except the wrap top that does you up like an egyptian mummy

I bought this one www.mamasandpapas.com/product-frill-wrap-dress/s0006145/type-s/
last week & I am same as you (size 16, curvy, 16 weeks so small bump).

It looks great ATM & I thought £40 not too awful. I bought a contrasting vest top to go underneath there too.

I just bought a lovely plum coloured maternity dress for a couple of weddings from the H&M Mama range. Definitely not frumpy - fitted nicely around the boobs, gathered aboved the bump and ties at the back. They also had the same one in black. It was ?29,95, so I guess would be about £30 in the UK. I'm usually a size 12-14 and I fit a medium perfectly.

Top Shop maternity, as suggested above. I got a couple of really nice things there.
