Maternity brands?

6 replies

What are the best maternity brands out there? Having a look for some clothes on ebay now as I've suddenly popped, just wondered what I should be looking for.

Thanks.

Isabella Oliver is lovely and if you buy will sell well on ebay afterwards. Some Seraphine is lovely too.

I found it better to have one or two things from nice brands than cheap DP and H&M stuff as it made me feel better about myself.

Not sure I ever solved the perfect maternity jeans question.

I second Isabella Oliver and particularly Seraphine. Their stuff is amazing!! Smart comfy practical hard wearing and works after birth too.

Blossom Mother and Child. Designer labels but £££££.

Gap occasionally has some good maternity tops. Shop online as not many branches have maternity stuff.

Otherwise look out for "normal" clothes which can work as maternity stuff if you buy a size up. Ie empire line dresses, fold over palazzo style pants, leggings. Tunics empire line ones. Etc

I second buying normal tops in a few sizes bigger, teamed with maternity jeans, skirts or even regular leggings.

I liked mamas and papas and Next maternity clothes.

Seraphine and Isabella Oliver were my favourites.

Asos maternity good for basics as were H&M and New Look (particularly tights).

Also check babeswithbabies.com - some really lovely dresses which are suitable for post birth/bfing too.

Normal clothes sized up don't work for me as arms bottom and legs get skinnier as the bump gets bigger. I had to have maternity clothes.
