Where to buy maternity clothes

So I have two holidays booked pre-baby that are going to be very warm.

I'm going to Vegas for 5 days (28-30oC) at 27 weeks and Spain (26-28oC) for 4 days at 33 weeks - can anybody recommend where I can pick up some cheap maternity holiday clothes? Chances are the weather won't be good enough over here to wear them.

I've had a look in eBay and I can't find anything and I don't really want to be paying £30+ for one dress - essentially over £200 for a few holiday outfits.

5 years since pregnant, bit I got reasonably priced maternity clothes in new look, matalan and h & m - all online. Also got a couple of nice things from gap maternity when had a sale on. Am a size 18 too, so had to get bigger sizes!

I found New Look and h&m the best, but pretty much exclusively online as the in store options were rubbish.

I always found them true to my pre-pregnancy size.

Boohoo do some nice maternity clothing; it's often reduced in the sale section and is super cheap

Asos?

Generally body con strappy dresses could be used after pregnancy and most should stretch over a bump

Thank you ladies, that's the other thing, the sizes. So confusing! As I know other bits of me are getting bigger apart from my stomach so is it best to go up a size from you pre-peg size?

Hmm probs depends if you feel your a little bigger all over then maybe go up a size, always better to be comfy!

Also floaty dresses for your holiday will be your best friend! I got some lovely ones from H&M maternity last summer

In maternity I go up a size from my pre pregnancy size and I have bought normal clothes 2 sizes up.

I've got my bits from Boohoo, ASOS & Tesco funnily enough!

I had the majority of mine from asos, new look and h&m. I had to go up a size from normal as I gained 5 stone Blush during my pregnancy, but you might not be as greedy as me!

Ooh also amazon generally do a range of summer floaty dresses under £15.

I found Asda/George and Dorothy Perkins online were quite good for cheap and cheerful options that still looked good.

@gothicsprout DP have some great stuff in the sale at the minute. I just know when we go away and I need them there will be nothing in!
