Brown empire line dress/long top for pregnancy?

AllBuggiedOut · 15/10/2007 13:59

I am 20-odd weeks pg, and want to find a dress/top to go over brown leggings with brown slouchy boots. It needs to have a seam under the bust (is that empire or princess line?) as otherwise I just look immense, and needs to be just above the knee.

I'd love some help finding one, thanks!

Just had a thought, H&M prob be worth a look since they have lots of choc tunic tops in the main range and maternity. Hope you find sth you like

Thanks - will try H&M if I'm feeling strong (why are their shops always such a mess?)!

I've also been wearing a purple tshirt from Topshop maternity with the leggings and that looks great too.
Covers my bum and fits in all the right places.

Ooh, like the Mothercare one a lot. Needs to cover thighs as well as bum. Off to Bluewater tomorrow for some serious shopping. Wish me luck!

It comes down below the knee so it covers all areas

Fwiw, I stupidly ordered it via internet and then ended up going to a Mothercare and they had it instore .

OK - ended up with 2 from Dorothy Perkins (after waiting for me in there the men had had enough of shopping and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere else ). This which is a bit shorter than ideal, but fits well and somehow doesn't make norks look immense, and a short sleeved, knitted beige tunic which is just above knee, not on website unfortunately. Was impressed with their maternity stuff too, and got a top there to go with jeans. Thanks for all your help ladies. Am delighted to have new clothes to wear!
