Pricey, obviously, but you'd get nearly all the money back if you put it on ebay, and they are LOVELY!

Next sizes are generous but when it comes to matwear their bump allowance is surprisingly small
their tops in particular were always way short

OracleInaCoracle · 11/05/2008 20:05

ah mrsb, im really short so the lengths were good on me.

isabella oliver stuff is nice but the quality isn't great for the price you pay

would you not be able just to go up a size or two from a shop, monsoon go up to a 22, as do dot perkins and markies and evans

coast/ principles and wallis do up to an 18

matalan have some fab stuff in just now too

there are loads of styles that can accomodate bump

dizzydixies · 11/05/2008 20:16

also our local new look had some nice stuff in both larger sizes AND maternity

I know what a hassle it is, was at a wedding on sat in white linen trousers an evans top and shrug as couldn't find any matty clothes I liked and I ordered a lot on credit card and sent it all back

I'm wearing this in the purple next month to a wedding, hugely flattering!

oohh milfAKA you're bump must be much neater than mine as I ordered it to try in purple AND red and looked awful in it

milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo · 11/05/2008 21:03

I am only 4.5mths pregnant with a nice nice bump at the mo... could be different in another 3mths time! Found that the Isabella Oliver stuff looks crap on me but Picchu looks great,m different shapes maybe

milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo · 11/05/2008 21:05

I agree with the quality of Isabella Oliver, very disappointing for the price.
