I've tried Boden Maternity...

..and it's fab! Honestly. Only the straight leg jeans and the essential maternity tee so far, but I have really struggled to find anything that doesn't look cheap and that I like (and don't have to buy because 'it'll do') And tbh wasn't that excited about getting these but the t-shirt is lovely and soft, and good quality. It's got lots of growing room without being baggy now (at 24 weeks) I think lots of maternity tops look really cheap and shiney (esp when stretched over increasing bumps) but this doesn't at all. I'm impressed!

But best of all the jeans are long (even on me at 5ft 8) and in fact I even think I could have had a smaller size, but I think they'll fit for some time being a bit bigger. Possibly not to 40 weeks, (only stretchy yoga trousers worked last time!) but for the majority of time.

Off to get some more... Only thing I'd say is it's over-priced, but then that's Boden for you.

And yes, I know I'm a MN stereotype, and lots of you don't like Boden, and I'm in the camp that a lot of things aren't such good quality and not keen on a lot of the prints these days, but I really rate the two maternity things I've had so far so thought I'd share Smile

Ooh that's good news. I saw the new range the other day and was wondering when a thread would appear on here about it.

I agree - loads of maternity stuff feels (and looks) cheap, so quite excited about this (a little sad really as not pregnant and not even ttc until later this year!)

Hmmmmph. Jeans have been falling down all day. Second time I've worn them, so maybe they've done that stretching thing, but bit annoying. Maybe I should have bought a smaller size... but these are sure to fit later on I suppose.

Still love the top and how the jeans looked yesterday and this morning!
