maternity clothes for size 16/18

[Amiable]

Ok, so trying to find maternity clothes that do not make me feel like a whale/hippopotamus.

I am normally a size 16, or 18 depending on how stingy the cut is - I'm a 16 in Next, M & S etc, 18 in New Look. I need maternity clothes that I can get over my thighs, and that I can buy online. Prepared to pay more if it looks good.

I work in Hampstead, where the local Gap and Seraphine shops stock mainly size 4, 6 and 8 - no I have not missed the 1 from the beginning! So I am feeling particularly heffalump-like at the moment... and yes, the majority of my brain is horrified at being made to feel like some sort of ginormous freak just cos I choose to eat occasionally.

Sorry - rant over! any pointer on good maternity wear sites gratefully received!

I loved Isabella Oliver esp the A line skirt and wrap tops

Mothercare are fairly generous. I was same size as you pg 3 times and bought quite a lot from them. Also if you can find any small maternity boutiques (and afford the prices) I got some lovely stuff which was reasonably priced given the wear I got and how nice I felt in it. Also JoJoMaman do wrap tops too, I had 2 in large and they were fab on my size 18 top (in fact I'm selling them if you're interested). I found blooming marvellous to be fairly small sizing. Is there a H&M near you? They are hit & miss but can be fab.
What about Next's maternity stuff?
