Basic Maternity Tops?

7 replies

I'm looking for basic maternity tops and vests. Just some simple and cheap things that will get me through until november so t-shirts (long and short sleeved), vests, etc. They don't need to be very exciting or expensive and I'm happy with basic colours.

Last time I bought about 8 t-shirts in different colours from Dorothy P and wore them to death. This time they have 2 vests and 2 long sleeves t-shirts in stock. ASOS is very similar though has some good breton tops.

Any other ideas?

H&M.

I still wear one of my long length stretchy maternity vests to the gym (possibly meaning I'm not working hard enough?!) And bought a couple more long sleeved maternity tops when DD was tiny as they're just so damn comfy and the longer length made me feel a little better about my post pregnancy jelly belly and they're ridiculously cheap.

Try New Look. They had several styles on offer for 2 for £12 earlier this year.

I got two for £8 long vests drop DP. None maternity. Same length as next £12 for 1. Keep it in mind for basics that some times regular clothing is cheaper.

Matalan had some fairly good maternity basics and cheap nursing tops. The only downside is that they seem to attract fluff but they do the job.

What on earth are you all doing up so late. :o

Brew for all.

Thank you. I'm back in the UK in the next couple of weeks so I'll do a bit of internet ordering before then.

I know that normal clothing is cheaper but I hate how they hang on me or cling in the wrong places at the moment!

Try George at Asda, I have some vests (come in packs of 2) and t shirts (again packs of 2) cropped trousers amd maternity leggings (these bring me such comfort and joy).

Got some "smarter" tops that are Nursing Tops from H and M, again in packs of 2 inblack and white.

I'm November too ;)

Morning Brew for you :)

Can't even blame 14mo DD, I just couldn't sleep last night after DP let me have a lovely lie in yesterday, typical!

Just to add, I found new look over bump jeans the best £10 I ever spent. If you need trousers that is of course!
