Maternity clothes?

ThreePlus2More

Where did you all find or are finding decent maternity clothes? I am beyond frustrated. I feel like all of the pants have turned into the skinny jean style and I do not feel attractive enough to wear that but that is also NOT comfortable!!! All of the shirts seem to fit so tight and I really have an issue with that in the breast area. The jeans I finally got at Target are wayyy too long and I am not that short! I am 20 weeks and I have to find some kind of solution!

I ordered mine online from jcpenney.com. For me it was so much easier to click and order and have it delivered. The clothes are sensible and stylish. I ordered some too from Motherhood, but jcp has the best prices! Gap.com has some too but the fit to me was more slim, and I'm curvy. I bought yoga pants from old navy.com but I found their things super cheaply made in the quality department minus workout clothes.

I liked Motherhood Maternity.  Could order online or shop in store.

I've been struggling too. I am 5'5'' and wore a size 6 pre-pregnancy. My breasts, formerly a full B, have grown 2+ cup sizes and I've gained 25 pounds so far at 21.5 weeks.  I kept buying medium sizes from Gap and Old Navy until I recently realized that I am in fact no longer a Medium. I'm now a Large.

My problem is that I couldn't seem to find any maternity clothes in a real store where I live. So I ordered a bunch of ill-fitting stuff from Gap and Old Navy before realizing I should probably be ordering a Large. I've bought a few things from Motherhood but I don't like their clothes for work. I work in a professional setting and their clothes feel too cheaply made for my office. Macy's (in Chicago anyway) carries A Pea in the Pod in-store, so I bought a couple of nice sweaters (definitely on sale!!) last week.

As for jeans, I agree with you on Target, I have one pair of very ill-fitting jeans from there. However, I love my Motherhood full panel jeans. And I've bought several pairs from Gap (one skinny which aren't as 'skinny' as skinny jeans usually are) and two boot cut.  They're good, although I feel like the boot cut ones kind of ride down in the crotch a bit.

That's all been my experience anyway...

I agree with everything said before me. It's an experience to find what fits. 

Another thing I've tried (and is working so far) is maxi skirts with elastic waists.  The waist is too small for me, but I can put it on over my head. I put the waist line just below my bust. With a shirt on, no one knows how high up my skirt is.  Plus, the length of the maxi skirt means that the hemline is still long enough to be comfortable.  I only have 1 right now, but I plan on buying more.

I just placed an order with Destination Maternity (which is Motherhood and A Pea in the Pod).

I got my jeans from A Pea in the Pod. They fit well, but I did have to hem them. They were on sale, so they were about $70 each. I got tops and sweaters from A Pea in the Pod, Motherhood, and Target. Make sure you get long tops so your belly will be covered. You basically need to try everything on. I started out as a size small and moved into medium clothes a few weeks ago.

I loved independent stores like Mom's the Word in San Francisco and Appleseed in DC, both have online presence too

I've found some good fitting clothes from motherhood maternity....they sell them at macy's too so sometimes there's some better sales there and if you have gift cards that works out well too! I got some Gap  maternity hand-me --down shirts and love them!!  you'll probably have to buy different sized clothes a few times during your pregnancy..

the girls at motherhood maternity were really good about fitting me for a bra so i had room to grow and only have to buy them once so far....going on 37 weeks with twins !!!

Good luck in your search....it makes all the world of difference..just be comfy so you can enjoy this time

Most of my favorites came from the Gap (and I like full panel jeans the best). A Pea in the Pod has lovely clothes but they're pricey (worth a browse through their clearance racks though). Everything I got at Target sucked!

I have to wear all tall clothes when I'm not pregnant and I had the best luck at Old Navy and Gap Maternity.  I had some stuff from Motherhood Maternity as well, but as far as pants, Gap was the best.

Does anyone know whEre to find great bras for large breasts? I love my prepregnancy bra but I bought it in SC. I now need a new one with support as I have had this bra over a year now and it is time as it has stretched now.
