BF is struggling to find smart things to wear to work in a hot office...

She is 5 feet 2 and a size 16/18 normally. Can anyone advise?

Peacocks have large black tunics in - they go up to size 26 and are black cotton with beads at the front, so they're nice and cool. I'm size 18, 5'3, and 38 weeks pregnant, and I think the 26 is plenty roomy, although I haven't bought one because I don't need it.

thanks! colditz have you been at work - what kind of clothes worked well for you?

If she works somewhere chichi, Cache-cache are good for height, dunno about length, she might need to get trousers shortened.

size, rather than height, I mean.

just googled cache cache - looks fab - what a great tip, hadn't heard of it before - and trouser shortening no problem, I can do that service!

No problem. When I was pg with DS1 (5 years ago, boggle!) I phoned all the chichi maternity places, as I worked in the City. Cache cache was the only one who did 18.

(Oh, formes might do 16, not sure. They're pretty chichi too.)
