Affordable maternity workwear?

5 replies

The biggest problem I am having in pregnancy is to find affordable, and reasonably fashionable, work wear (dresses; trousers and tops; suits). I want to continue to look smart at work but can only find casual clothes or very pricey options. Are you having the same experience? Are there any retailers/etailers you can recommend? Thanks!

A while ago now, but I found H&M resonable and decent stuff.

Not sure about your budget, but what about Seraphine? I bought Isabella Oliver clothes when I was pregnant, but many recent reviews suggest the quality has gone downhill.

Seraphine has a sale on at the moment (I'm not even pregnant, was looking for a loose, ruffled top for longhaul flights Blush )

I had a similar problem - admittedly I gave up on suits, but I wore a lot of dresses! I actually had quite a few non-maternity dresses which I wore throughout my pregnancy (and I was HUGE!) - monsoon ones were particularly good for this. Next did a few nice bits as well. I'd have loved to go for isabella oliver but my budget wasn't up to it.

Thanks that's really useful. Suits seem to be a problem!

try peacocks, they now have a maternity range, and it looked like there were some nice smart items there x
