1st Trimester

I know I have time but .. a clothes question

Hello!

So, several of my friends have recently been pregnant with their first child and/or are still pregnant. One of their biggest complaints is the lack of affordable maternity clothes. I have about a month before I should be showing, but I wanted to know if any of you knew any great places. The only one I know about right now is Old Navy. 

 Where do you shop?

 

Thanks!!

  • Target

    Goodwill

  • For my last pregnancy, I seemed to find some deals at Kohls. That was about 4 years ago. I haven't checked anywhere recently, though.

  • I bought a ton of stuff from Gap and Motherhood Maternity- pretty affordable. Hold out until the Black Friday sales if you can- I bet they'll have some killer deals :D

  • JC Penney and Sears have some that are affordable.  I have also looked at consignment shops.

  • I just shopped the clearance rack at Gordmans.  THey carry motherhood maternity.
  • I personally hate most of Old Navy's clothes, they just don't fit right....their shirts are OK. I love Gap and tend to buy when they have sales...often they have 50% off all sale items. I also like target. Motherhood is cheaply made and not great prices either.

    ETA: You can do well at Khols too.

    Motherhood Maternity 

    I went to Target and Goodwill last night... bought $80 worth of clothes and got: 4 shirts, 2 pants and 4 sun dresses (sun dresses this time of year because Ill be on a cruise in 3 weeks (yeah!) 

    I did go into Motherhood Maternity... but they are still a little pricey... not horrible, but a typical price would be on clothes.

    Hope you find what you are looking for!

  • I didn't buy any maternity clothes when pg with #1. I wore a lot of leggings (they stretch), sun dresses/ dresses, and tunics. I was studying for the bar exam though and not working through much of 2nd and all of 3rd tri though so I could be more casual with my wardrobe.

  • Ann Taylor Loft has a pretty good selection. They have sales all the time as well.

  • The flagship store for H&M where I live has maternity.  I have a few of the higher end consignment shops that also have maternity sections.  I bought a really nice pea in the pod top for $11 at one.  But you have to dig when you go places like that.  The Loft does have a good selection too.

  • I went to Goodwill this weekend and they carry Liz Lange maternity from Target brand new with the tags still attached.  I bought several items for a great price.  I have also been on ebay looking and you can find good deals on there if you know what size and brand fit you well.

  • I bought leggings...in all different novelty materials from American Apparel and found some fun thick sweater leggings. During winter I'll be wearing oversized fun sweaters and fabulous shoes and accessories are a must for me.

  • Baby Gap has an awesome maternity section (I love their clearance).  Motherhood Maternity is pricey but again, I stick to sales and do pretty good.  Also, ask your friends for hand me downs!  A group of 4 of us have circulated clothes around for 6 babies now.  We all buy new things too, but it helps to have some basics to start with.  Hope this helps!

    Indeed:  40% off everything at AT Loft from now to Sunday.

  • I have found some things on Ebay, but I think I will try consignment shops once I get a little bigger and will need to try things on....

    Kohl's is ok, not a huge selection and not all stores have maternity.

     

     

  • GOODWILL! you will need to look no further, I promise!
  • Thanks! I will definitely check out the yard sales and goodwill. I have completely forgotten about yard sales!

    I also read (probably here) that you should wait because your size will change.

    Thanks for the advice ladies.. I will pass this along (and use it!)

     

    ps- H&M is FANTASTIC! However... the closes store is 2.5hours away!!!
