ok are maternity dungarees a yes or a big NO?

[redbullandbump]

here was thinking of maybe getting a pair today, thumbs up or down??

Sorry, a big no-no from me

No no and no again!

no. not unless you are absolutely minute. they do not confer felicity kendall-like cuteness, more sofa-like blimp.

1 - they look horrible

2 - Imagine try to go to loo in a hurry?

Dungarees are never ok, pregnant or not.

if you're trying to avoid uncomfortable things round your waist, perhaps a dress?

Big yes from here to balance things up a bit.
I loved mine (the mothercare ones) only disadvantage is going to toilet if you are daft enough to put a jumper over the top.

i had dungerees with ds and they looked awful but were sooooo comfy. so big YES!!!!

I think once you have breasts dungarees are a no-no! That funny "tunnel" effect you get below your breasts....

I think once you are older than 4 dungarees are a big no-no. Between the ages of 2 and 4 it is a delicate matter of judgement (possibly ok if a lot of going on the swings/slide required and still in nappies). Other than that, no.

will try some on if they look good then maybe i will if not will run out the shop in shame

YES thay are fab, but only if they are purple

Well I think they look really comfy.

But this is posted in the "style" section so I suppose that's not the main concern!!

I would say for local NCT classes, slobbing around the house, shopping for organic food at the farmer's market - yes.

Going to high powered meetings at work - no.

I wore a pair when I was pregnant with Lottie. They did the rounds between me and all my mates when we were all pregnant. I loved them at the time. I did only wera them at home though. However I didn't and wouldn't have worn them with DD2.

I would say no, but what about dungaree dresses? I think they look really nice and you could wear it with thick black tights and a jumper underneath.

No to dugarees and no to pinafore dresses. Saying that I am sure they are comfy so perhaps in the privacy of home !

As said earlier what about a nice wrap dress and boots. Lovely and comfy but perhaps a bit more stylish?

Depends what you wear it with I think.
I had dungarees, but for 2 summer pregnancies. I think they can look quite stylish with little vest tops underneath.
I'm not sure about winter, with jumpers and l/s tops though..

I only have one sartorial rule - would I wear it if I wasn't pregnant?
Would you normally wear dungarees?

Hugely useful for looking pregnant and thus inducing people to give up their seats on public transport, help you lift heavy shopping etc.
I lived in mine.

redbull, I've said it before on here and I'm about to say it again. I love my dungarees, pregnant or not. I don't care if the MN fashion police stone me to death, I will wear them with pride. I even have patchwork dungarees.

I am, however, a lentil-weaving festival-goer, so perhaps not entirely normal.

And, I ask again, why do we never see you on Antenatal??!!

My SIL gave me a pair a few months ago when I found out I was pregnant... found them at the weekend,thought I would try them on... oh how we laughed.... I looked like humpty dumpty... size 12, 24 weeks... So No!!!

I agree with Mrs Badger. I think aother sartorial rule is "does the ghastly woman in the Miriam Stoppard book wear them?" If so (and I'm sure she does), avoid them like the plague.

Stepsisters looked good in theirs (very young though), I looked like some pregnant porn farm hand (nork issues )... Jelley is very slim (even pregnant I should think) so could probably pull it off.

I loved mine they were soo comfy.

i'd say yes! Look great for day to day wear. BUt then, they look good on the model/manaquin but I know for a fact I'd look very dumpy in them. Try them on, and, if possible get a photo (on your phone or something) and look. I find that more reliable than a mirror. x
