H&M do them - don't know if you've got one near you? Mothercare, Next and Dorothy Perkins go up to a 20 I think.
I have had some great maternity jeans from eBay!

Some of Dorothy Perkins Maternity wear goes up to a size 20 - they have stuff on the website and some t shirts and things in the sale. HTH!!

Checked BBMMJJ and BM but they both just go to an 18!!

Hi there,

Blooming Marvellous do some styles up to size 24/26 (there stuff is usually a little small- I used to work for them!!).
You can actually call their shops and chat to a sales assistant who will help...otherwise you can order online....

Definitely H&M/Hennes. Not only do they do reasonably priced maternity clothes but their plus size range is very generous and quite varied. ONly place I found nice maternity evening wear too...

Also 20+ sizes in Next warehouse stores. Don't know where you are but there're two near me and they sell off end of range/season clothes etc

well i've just been into town. i couldnt get a bra in my size (44c), but DP have stopped maternity clothes in the town store, m&s didnt have anything, next didnt either, and john lewis's was too busy for me to have a proper look. they didnt even stock the trial pack of cottom bottom nappies anymore. think i may have to go to stevenage.

clairabelle, can u email me over the pics pls.

NCT Sales do good maternity/bf bras up to 48J if that's any help.

clairabelle · 14/09/2004 15:09

Will do. Have a look at Next online save you the hassle of going round the shops.

and also motherbliss does some stuff.
I used to just buy huge sizes from Evans or the Simply be catalogue though as it was cheaper
