Plus Size Maternity Dresses

jbal918

Anyone know any good stores that sell plus size maternity dresses online? Not many stores around here carry plus size and I'm looking for a dress for my maternity pictures/baby shower. I know we had a clothing board awhile back but I didn't want to be bring up a zombie thread. 

Thank you in advance!!

I had success with Old Navy online, and returns were super easy with the ones that didn't fit. 
Edit- they're not super fancy, though.

Motherhood Maternity has one or two. I tried on a red one and it looked really nice and was super comfortable! I know there is more, but Google to find out who has them. I just remember Morherhood because it was the only place I could try a plus size on. I ended up getting a non-maternity dress for a wedding at the end of the month.

I got one from motherhood.  I also got a maxi dress from Maurice's that is a nice stretchy material.

You can try pink blush...I ordered some shirts from there but haven't tried any of the dresses.

I've had a lot of luck with Lane Bryant dresses and skirts, I just go up one size from what I normally buy at LB. I bought one thing at Motherhood but it's too small around my boobs now. Haven't tried anything new from them recently....

I've been very tempted to order a pink blush dress but I'm so nervous about the sizing. I've read that they run small.

zulilly!

Target!   I just ordered 5 dresses this weekend. I'll let you know how they fit when I get them.

I've had really good luck with zulilly.

JCPenney - I haven't ordered, but they have a lot of plus-size dresses online... a little fancier than the average maxi.

I LOVE Pink Blush. Just ordered my dress for my shower. I have a few of their tops as well. Run true to size. I have had lots of luck on Old Navy and JCP as well. Good luck. Hope you find something you love.  

NicholeL16

Ok @sportiegrl1213 I'm going to take the plunge and order then!

NicholeL16

I have the above dress from pink blush and love it. Just an FYI though some of there dresses fit funny, I have had two orders with dresses now that I have to return because the arms and bust are way too small even though I ordered a size up.

NicholeL16

@cassieleeanne that's exactly what I was afraid of.

how is that specific dress?

sportiegrl1213

Sorry girl @NicholeL16 ... I have (2) maxi dresses from there and they fit great. Hope this dress will fit you perfect. 

NicholeL16

@sportiegrl1213 never hurts to try!  I just have chunky arms to begin with so that's a problem I tend to have.

sportiegrl1213

You and me both. The ones I ordered didn't have sleeves @NicholeL16

Thanks ladies!! My pregnancy brain made me forget I posted this board until I went looking online again just now lol

cassieleeanne

@NicholeL16 that dress is actually good, fits to size roomy in the arms and bust.

NicholeL16

@Cassieleeanne perfect! I ordered a size up so I should be in good shape. Thanks ladies!

I looked up Pink Blush for the first time today. They have a 24 hour sale going on now so I ordered 3 different dresses. Hopefully one will work for my shower next month! Lol

mrszoess

I ordered the pink lace one for mine!

Okay I'm seriously considering increasing my limit on my credit card and doing some serious damage at the Pink Blush website O.O

@krzyriver thanks for the heads on on the sale! Ordered two options today for my picnic themed  baby shower next month

I am horrified the horizontal stripes are going to make me look even wider  and I will end up looking like a picnic table so I chose the basic red as a back up 

aesthyerin

I just bought a few cute ones at meijer. Not maternity buy they have a really nice plus section

krzyriver

@brzvice You're welcome! Those are super cute! I wish I could wear short dresses. Maybe when I get back down to a size 10/12. Lol

I ordered these. I'll probably pick one and return the other two. I'm sorry, I know the pictures are huge!!

I'm so happy this thread happened. I was running out of things to wear. Off to google!

Quick question that I hope y'all can help me with. I don't typically wear plus size because I think it would really work for my hips maybe but not so much for the rest of my body (aka- I have small boobs and typically an average waist).... so I tend to just steer clear of anything really hip hugging like pencil dresses, because they just don't work for me. Anyway, I ordered this dress and was SO excited about it for some reason but when it came, it was tight in the hip area (and also a little more fitted in the belly area but I think that was just an extension from the hip tightness). It fit in the chest area though. So my quick question that has turned not so quick is, do you think if I ordered a plus size that it would be more forgiving in the hips?  Here's the dress (I ordered a medium but I'd need to go up at least 2 sizes to make the hips work):

and sorry my question turned into a short novel lol

@bnsmith85 You could try it, but plus-sized clothes tend to be cut differently. So you might not just be going up a size, it might be a slightly different shape too. I learned this when I lost quite a bit of weight and was sort of inbetween not plus and plus. It would totally depend on the outfit I was trying. If plus was too big, sometimes going down would be too small and vice versa. But not always. So you'll just have to try and see.

Thanks for the info @krzyriver!

@krzyriver - I love those two blue dresses you shared.. I keep buying pink dresses but I'd like a blue dress or two because i'm having a boy..lol

LauraPCOS

So my mom has finally clued in to the difficulty of find plus size maternity dresses (specifically a casual summer short dress) in Canada.  She has been running around northern Toronto going into different stores asking if they have a maternity section and she just called me and asking if I liked this particular dress (which was not nice looking at all - but supposedly was one of the only ones the store had) and when I said no, she said "Shit - the selection is so slim, I don't know what you're going to do.  What are you wearing now anyways?!" which I told her I'm running out of clothes and her response is "How are you not panicking?! I'm panicking!!" thanks mom and cue panic!

I told her about Pink Blush - except our wonderful Canadian Postal Service is due to strike on Monday which can take weeks since both sides are saying they're no where near an agreement (or even scheduled to talk), so even if I do dish out the money, I might have my baby before I get my clothes.

@Piperella I always buy purples or pinks, so I made myself buy some blue things since I'm having a boy. The last one comes in two different shades of blue too, but I didn't want to buy ALL blue in case I decide to keep all of them. Lol

queen_frostine

I keep wanting to buy blue because I like it - but I'm having a girl! Except I'm trying to get away with using a dress I already have, because I don't want to spend money on a dress I'll never wear again. I don't wear dresses generally.

LauraPCOS

For the people that have purchased Pink Blush in the past - do you find their dresses still wearable even after pregnancy? Some of the flowy or maxi dresses look like it's possible assuming it still fits.

jbal918

I think these are my favorite pink blush finds! Especially the mint green dress for my shower!
