Looking for maternity clothes inspiration

Second time round I just want some more interesting clothes. I hate hate hate all the bloody mumsy or cutesy maternity clothes - my normal style is vintage/second hand/glamour.

I've looked in vain for maternity flared jeans.
I've got a few maxi dresses that are ok.

Can anyone suggest a style/shop/brand that might do something a bit more interesting than the usual topshop/H&M/isabella oliver snorefest of clothes for pregnant women?

Well, maternity clothes are hideous this time around I think (pregnant for the second time now), worse than 2 years ago when i had our first.
I personally try to avoid maternity for as long as i can- 20 weeks now- hence bought 2 non-maternity breton dresses from HM which are quite loose, couple dresses from Phase8 (non-maternity as well), maternity jeans from ASOS and GAP. Some things from my non-pregnancy which are looser than the rest or strechy work for me so far.
Looked everywhere- Blossom and Child, Crave, IO, Boden plus all high street- hideous, hideous, hideous. Seraphine looks OKish, but haven't seen it in RL.

You could try www.globalmaternity.com They may be a bit mumsie for you, but they've got some nice tops etc.

I think what I want is the maternity clothes they wore in the 40s/50s/60s - any ideas?
