Hi all,

Last time I was pregnant it was winter but I got a few nice dresses from seraphina. I believe this has closed now.

I am pregnant and looking for recommendations for somewhere i can fin a nice summer dress or 2 and maybe a few shorts / long tops.

I don't want to spend loads on everything. However 1 or 2 nice things would be good. I am definitely done at 2 DC.

Would something like this be suitable, OP?

That's a good call. I should try on some makes and sizes i suppose to get an idea of what is flattering.

Thats pretty. I should have said I prefer to go for things that are BF friendly as I will most likely be still feeding for a couple of years.

My DD BF until just before 2.

@Greensinkingrings ah yes that is where vinted doesn't work, and no blooming shops actually stock maternity gear which is infuriating!!

I get on well with h&m for tops and dresses, and next for trousers.

Next seems to have quite a few suitable things, OP.

I hadn't realised that they had so many items in this section.

Thank you. I loved Seraphine but I thought they had disappeared. Great to see they are in next.
