The problem with those dresses is that they hang down from your bump and you look like a big circus marquee on legs (I like the print though).

this lot are pretty good too - the two or three nice bits I've got, came from here.

Those m&s jeans looked quite good ocd, but looked really uncomfy. Maybe I will just have to go with the big jersey band thing.... Got some nice very plain trousers in H&M

The straps on the Formes one are minging.

mazzystar · 28/08/2006 18:53

flaming funmum's site doesn't support safari so can't get a proper look.

i do appreciate your efforts however.

Malory i just gagged at your previous dress,the 70's mumu, at least it would stop anyone getting you pregnant again. I think it's playing on hormones for eople to accidently buy it when they're not feeling quite right.

cupcakes · 28/08/2006 19:03

Pumpkin Patch does look nice. They have stretch bengaline trousers (??) with a roll over band at top which look quite possible.

I just want to wear clothes like I normally wear but maternity. Have been buying a few Gap Maternity things off ebay. Can't find any nice casual shirts though.

cupcakes · 28/08/2006 19:06

what do I know though - am currently wearing Gap dungarees.

ocd · 28/08/2006 20:19
