Difficulty finding a maternity style that looks okay!

Hi,

I am 30 weeks pregnant and having a heck of a time finding maternity shirts that look okay on me.  I am literally all boobs and belly, and havent gained too much in my lower body.  Every time I try on a shirt it looks horrible.  Does anyone have idea of what styles look okay on a body type that is really just one big ball in front and big boobs?  Ive tried lots of stores but wish I could find some fashion advice because everything just looks bad.  Not looking to look amazing, just not so much like a meatball : )!  Anyone have advice?  Thank you!!

    I've found that Kimora Simmon's stuff (baby phat) fits really well since its ruched at the sides and hugs your belly without making it look stupid.  I got a lot of it at Burlington Coat Factory for like $3 a shirt!!!!

    I am all boobs and belly, pre-pg size 1 with a big basketball belly right now!  It's my personal preference to wear fitted/stretchy tops that have a little spandex content and hug the body.  Flowy tops or shirts that are too big just hang off my body and make it look so much bigger than it is.  I always liked GAP stretch maternity tees.  That being said I am not trying not to spend too much money on maternity this pregnancy and I feel like it shows in my wardrobe, which is a little depressing.  HTH...

    I have been wearing mostly dresses because this is my exact same problem!  I just wear a bigger size of regular dresses not maternity.  Good luck!

    I would recommend tops that tie in the back... they separate the boobs from the belly and cinch things up a bit so everything isn't just hanging on you. just my opinion

    As a PP mentioned I like the strechy type tops with ruching on the sides the best. I was not a sz 1 pre pg but I have really only gained in the belly and boobs too so I know what you mean.

    Hmmm...I will try that.  Gap does have some cute stuff and not too pricey.
