Maternity coat - help please!

I am looking at a lovely green mac on the Crave website. Before I blow the budget and press 'Checkout', does anyone have any ideas where else to look for a maternity coat?
Everything else I have seen is dreadfully dull - all grey and sack-like.

I am a size 18.

Sale on here today...

Mmm nice - thank you :). Those lovely wool ones are a bit much though, even on sale - and possibly too smart for me to wear every day as I crawl around after DS Grin

What about one of these or these?.Another one here.All quite similar styles though.

Thanks woopsi. I had looked at the DP and Next ones, but they are all double breasted with big collars and all those bottons etc over the boobs. My boobs are big enough without drawing extra attention :)

And such dreary colours, I don't understand why there isn't more colourful maternity clothing - everything is so depressing and dark!

I am going to sleep on it, and then if I still like the mac tomorrow I will treat myself :)

If it helps, I bought a larger-than-usual sized wool coat in a charity shop [admittedly, a very posh charity shop in Chelsea!] and got it taken up so that it was a normal length, but a bit wider. It was also double breasted and i adjusted the buttons slightly. Tarted it up with nice scarves etc.

I was really pleased with this option - did not want to spend a fortune as only wore it through one winter, but still wanted to be warm and look decent.
