Can't find anything that I like anywhere.

Has anyone seen anything nice?

I thought things looked better now than when I was preggers? There is a young range in Debenhams - can't remember the name - bloomin marvellous I liked TS and DP were where I went - but then I didn't have a lot of cash.

Agree. There's not much I like.
Was hoping to get one or two things from Formes but it's really boring and bland. Next ok on one or two things I've seen in the catalogue.
A few things in Jojo catalogue but nothing I'm wildly excited about. Really want to find some cords - with a stretchy top, not the style where the trouser fabric goes up over bump.

bump band

Malory, i've been coming around to the whole m&s thing, slowly, but have you seen their maternity wear? Its grim.

Last time I was pregnant it was summer and I could do the layering thing in nice soft colours. What I had in mind was simple, streamlined stuff with funky knitwear and accessories but it ends up being black jersey shapeless baggyness. I don't even mind spending a few quid as for once I can. The only thing I have bought is one green wrap dress from Topshop.
