Help! Need a nice maternity top for Christmas Day

20 replies

VirginBoffinMum · 17/12/2008 18:53

I'm having a really tough pregnancy, and so for morale purposes I thought I would treat myself to a nice silk maternity blouse of some kind, that would look suitably seasonal on Xmas morning, and maybe would be wearable to an evening drinks do as well, possibly over black trousers. I only seem to be able to find drab t-shirts out there. Please help me find something nice! I'm a size 16 btw.

Got some really nice christmas maternity tops in next as per link above.

pretty things here too - I like the end left one as the ruffles will make the bump look smaller

VirginBoffinMum · 17/12/2008 21:39

I like all of these - keep the ideas coming!! I had completely forgotten about Next.

I've just been online looking for the same thing but haven't come up with anything so not much help really !

Tassissss - if VBM isn't interested I may well be.

VirginBoffinMum · 17/12/2008 21:56

My norks are probably too big for your top tassissss, sadly. Go for it, Wheely.

There is nothing out there! Thought I could rely on my old fave Isabella Oliver, but no - nothing doing.

I found this:
empire line chic wrap shirt but it is black, and the only thing I can think of doing, is adding a festive coloured sash, and adding a big chunky bead necklace on a festive colour too.

The good thing is, you could wear this to quite a few different types of events - work with trousers, weekend with jeans, party with pencil maternity skirt etc. and it is tres stylish.

tassisssss · 17/12/2008 22:17

it really is very nice

kind of an emerald green colour with jewels round the top. short sleeved, floaty material. it was lovely to wear.

Do you want to see a pic? I was going to ebay it but hadn't got round to it...

email me if you like... email at macjack dot co dot uk

Jewelsandgems, I think Isabelle Oliver have lost their way totally. I tried buying a dress from them a few weeks ago but when it came it looked like a bit of old Tesco tat and was badly made. They said I had to send it back at my own expense, which then needed to be Special Delivery because of the value of the thing, and I ended up spending £13.50 NOT to get a dress in the end. I think they're total con merchants after all that!!
