Maternity Clothes Shop - Edinburgh?

7 replies

Kirbo · 08/10/2007 14:13

Hi, I live in the North East of Scotland where there are NO Maternity Clothes Shops. I have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks and I am taking a trip down to Edinburgh for some shopping and I was wondering if anyone knew of any decent maternity clothes shops where I could get a decent dress? I am 13 weeks (15+4 at the wedding) and a bump appeared over the weekend so hence the need for a dress that will expand with my waistline! Any ideas would be great

there is a Formes in Howe St (not far from Princes St)

i think there is a shop called Vanilla Bloom in William St (between Haymarket and West End)

and im sure there is one in Morningside called Bumpsadaisy (im sure its Morningside Road) that would be a bus trip but there are loads of buses that go down there and it would take 10 mins

there is also H&M in Princes St, Jenners, Frazers, Next, etc

Apparently something called Vanilla bloom in William Street but I haven't seen that one.

Usual h&m etc. Formes v pricey.

you are so kind!
we shall have to meet up - havent seen the girls in ages

i am annoyed with myself today - i went ot tkmaxx for a sniff about and saw a gorgeous Chloe shift dress (quite Pucci style)
looked at price tag
couldnt afford
tried on anyway
fitted perfectly
sobbed as i put it back on rail

oops sorry for hijack

yes formes is dear isnt it - but maybe ok for a wedding

do you live near Broughty Ferry, Kirbo? i used to live up there and there was a great maternity shop there - on the main shopping street - along the lifeboat end - i cant remember what its called - opposite Willows and Brambles

I live in Aberdeen (3rd biggest city in Scotland and the only dedicated maternity clothes shop is Mothercare!)so I am quite willing to travel anywhere to get decent clothes! Thanks for all of your suggestions, will be burning a hole in Credit Card soon
