I'm a plus size woman before I got pregnant and now pregnant with twins I'm having trouble finding clothes that fit. I've searched online and the biggest sizes labeled plus size are 18-20. I'm bigger than that before I got pregnant. Anybody have any suggestions as to where I can find clothese to fit?
Re: Plus size Maternity clothes help
I got a lot of my clothes at Target. The other thing I would recommend, especially for shirts - Big/Tall Mens sizes. A lot of times they were cheaper than maternity.
My local thrift store was also good to me while pregnant.
Motherhood Maternity has plus sized clothing in some of their stores - up to 3X or 4X. They may have a wider selection online. I went there a couple of times to try things on and figure out what size fit me (and still had room for my growing twin belly). JC Penney and Old Navy sell plus-sized maternity wear online.
I actually had good luck trolling my local Craigslist for people selling their plus-sized maternity wardrobe. For $100, I bought 5 or 6 pairs of pants, 8 or 9 cute tops, and a couple of great dresses with tags still attached. Oh, and a brand new bathing suit (tags still attached)! A few of the pieces were too small for me, but almost everything fit, and I figure I can probably eBay the too-small pieces and make back some of my investment.
Not only am I plus size but I am also rather tall (and have a long torso) I found that even with plus size maternity shirts I outgrew them in length. What I have found that works the best is to buy tunic-like tops. On a shorter person they would just look like tunics or dresses but on me they look like shirts
I have even found some clearance tank tops or tunics from Lanebryant and have used those! I can still find clothes at regular non-maternity stores as long as they are long enough and stretchy enough to cover the bump! I am so grateful to be pregnant while all those things are in style!!!
My plan b was to buy some cute empire waist dresses and have my mom just hem them up to look a little more like shirts then dresses.
hth!!
