Cool maternity clothes!

[nymphadora]

Am boiling need something now & no where selling maternity clothes in my town. Going to go to next town tomorrow to New Look but can anyone point any out online that deliver quickly!

And recommend anything?

Am 22 weeks , dc3 ( decent size bump) size 16 5ft!

Oh & an now wearing scaffolding type bras so v chunky straps & not great for showing

Next? Although if you're looking at the green maxi-dress, I'm 5'4" and if I were any shorter it'd be on the floor.

Not really a dress person but going to have to consider them as they're prob cooler

Think I'm too dumpy for a maxi dress anyway!

haha - I'm 8 months pregnant - I don't give a shite if I look "dumpy" - I'm hardly at my most glamorous phase anyway!

I got the plain black maxi from newlook on next day delivery. Theres twenty percent off at the min online too. May be a little too long for you though. Its at the floor for me and i'm 5'6. Have you tried asos?

Blooming Marvellous have a fab sale on at the moment (online) and they always deliver fairly quickly.
Its usually expensive but have some good stuff with 50% off at the moment.

Mat clothes are so expensive!

Not helped by my new habit of spilling food and having tomato stains on everything

I have done everything on line so far!! I have purshased 2 knee length work dresses at next and a black maxi from next. also I have bought lots of linen and cotton trousers and tops from asos and Very. all very reasonble priced!!

Mamaas and Papas have a sale on at the moment, take a look on their online shop.

mamas and papas have a 50% sale on at the moment. for pg no.1 my whole maternity wardrobe consisted of a pair of jeans. This time, I've got wild and bought new jeans,linen trousers,shorts and three tops all for a bargainous £60

if you're anywhere near the London m&p (regent st), you need to pop in... most of the clothes left are a 16! But I recommend you steer clear of the linen trousers... they won't survive long from having food spilt on them

lol, wonderful x post with Hermy there!

www.asos.com - They also have some maternity wear in their clearance section. Otherwise have you tried asda?

ebay.

I have bought and borrowed all my mat clothes this time (no3). Ebay bargains have been pair of Next jeans (Next and Dorothy Perkins are good for shorter leg - I am 4'11") for £1.50, Pair of linen combats for £2, 2 really pretty smock tops for £4.75.

Most people are really good at sending stuff quickly, and because it is worn for such a short period of time it is usually in good condition.

In this heat, I am mostly wearing - jeans/cotton combats (avoiding skirts because of horrendous varicose veins!) with a variety of light shirts, smocky tops and tshirts.

I had to buy cool maternity clothes ASAP due to overheating recently - topshop online are good and the stuff I bought is all 100% cotton and very cool (as in temperature wise). They do really nice basic vests as well as dresses, tops etc. If you pay more (about a fiver I think) you can choose the day of delivery, not sure if you can choose next day but I got mine two days after I ordered.

Blooming marvellous's clothes are lovely but a bit more expensive but as you still have a while to go i would take a look esp if there is a sale on.

I just bought some cheap stuff from ASOS in their maternity section (delivered three days later) & a couple of bits from Matalan (although I don't think they have much of a selection)

Been doing Ebay for weeks! Have a few t-shirts but they obviously arent lasting long with my tomato obsession! I've taken to a tea towel over my bump when I eat anything messy

so far I've managed to get by on long tops and leggings from Dotty P's which means I can wear them again after as well.

Not too bad for pants. I have some good cropped combats and cropped jeans I got in Macys and their pouch isn't very thick so not too bad heat wise. Am constantly running out of tops though.

Gap! Not online though unfortunately.

Mamas and Papas look nice. I bought maxi dress (also don't care about the dumpyness, it's the only time I would wear a maxi dress and they make everyone look pregnant!!!) and skirt with great waistband from New Look - neither were maternity.

I love mamas and papas, bit annoyed that a dress I bought for £50 is now £25 though!

No Gap anywhere near! Just ordered some stuff from Topshop.

I HATE online shopping though.

Have only bought maternity bottoms and am sticking to non maternity tops. There are some nice light loose tops around - white stuff, fat face, Next.

Bought some linen trousers and cut offs from NEXT and Mothercare. With NEXT I ordered online for delivery to store where I tried it all on and sent the stuff that was no good back. It was in store within a couple of days of placeing the order

I have found the best maternity clothes aren't actually maternity. Maternity clothes are pretty dull and boring on the whole! (and overpriced!) I have been living in maxi dresses and empire line dresses, and H&M do a fab range of vest tops for around £5 each in every colour imaginable and I wear them with leggings. Leggings are my saviour, although I am 38+4 now and craving my jeans!

Up until about 28 weeks I was able to loop a hairband through my usual jean or trouser buttons and hole to hold them together and wear them with a top and bumpband when it was colder and I wasn't wearing dresses.

Congrats

I went to www.expectingmaternity.co.uk/ - they are on the internet and have a shop in York and love their stuff.
