Favorite maternity clothes?

Paradisemoon

I have a multitude of maternity wear for all seasons but most of them go only to a size medium. Obviously a medium isn't going to cut it in the late stages of a twin pregnancy.I'm already to the size I was at 20 weeks with my last baby. Yikes! I need to have at least one go to outfit that doesn't consist of PJ pants and my dh's t-shirt. Any advice on what worked or didn't work for you would be helpful. Thanks!

When I had to go out toward the end, I wore XL black maternity leggings and a long wrap/cardigan (something that covered my butt

I'm live in one of two outfits:  maternity leggings from ON (full panel ones) and a tunic and/or longer shirt - anything that covers my rear basically.  Or, when I was working, I work maxi skirts/dresses...after 20 weeks or so it was all about comfort and looking like I was in anything other than pjs or a tent.

I second the maxi dresses, so comfy!! And I have managed to find a pair of jens I love from old navy and wear those with a large maternity shirt/sweater if I am going out. Thank god fall is around the corner so big sweaters doable!

I wore mostly maxi dresses and maxi skirts at the end.

I was all about the leggings as well. I loved shorts and the tank tops with ruching, made for a better fit.

Maxi dresses and short dresses paired with my standard yoga pants, because my belly turned those dresses into shirts long enough to not show any skin.

Pea in the pod had the most amazing tees. They were actually long enough to fully cover my belly. Plus, they were always on sale (thank god, that place is $$). Also, maxi skirt and dresses were great as I couldn't shave legs at the end. And, frankly, didn't care enough to figure is out.

I wore XXL sundresses from Target at the end. I had two that I alternated every other day. So easy and comfortable!

I'm tall (6') and normally wear a size 6.

What a GREAT idea!!! Never would have thought of that!

Thanks ladies, so glad I asked this question here. I tried on a few XL maternity tops at the store and the neck opening on most hung down way to far. I'm so glad it is getting colder and I can find one or two button down sweaters to cover myself.

Maternity Yoga pants! Extra long maternity tshirts, cardigan style sweaters or sweatshirt zip ups, XL sports bras, a good pair of no-tie slip on flat shoes (points of they're extra wide) ... You're much more home bound at the end vs a singleton pg, so don't waste too much money on the largest sizes of anything but comfy clothes.

I ended up hating anything full panel because it started to get too snug.

I wore a maxi skirt from Target (Liz Lange) and maternity knit gaucho pants for the last 2 months of pregnancy.  Before that I wore leggings and dresses (like pp said).  But, towards the end I was so swollen that i didn't want anything tight touching my legs!

Oh and I loved Liz Lange (Target) tank tops and t shirts!!!  so soft and comfortable and they were long enough to wear my whole pregnancy.  I still wear the tanks now

A long cotton maxi dress. If it was chilly I put a cardigan on over it. There was no way I could do pants at the end unless you count an old pair of extra large sweat pants.

Bought my first pair of leggings today thanks to this thread. My thighs have no business wearing these but they are fantabulous!!! Why didn't I buy them sooner!?!

Lived in leggings and dresses that looked like long shirts towards the end!

I did a quick search on Target's clearance section and was excited to find all their short maxi dresses are under $12! Whoohooo! Perfect timing! Thanks everyone!
