what a pathetic maternity clothes section!

at Old Navy in Knollwood. Are the other stores that bad? It's not like I expected them to have everything from their website, but they hardly had anything except tank tops and jeans.

    I think Mall of America has the biggest area and it's not overly large.

    I think I made this exact same post a while ago, but about the one at the MOA. I think they're all pretty sad, although regular ON has some okay dresses right now that are maternity friendly! Their online store has a ton, but I hate buying clothing online.

    I also went out to nineconsign today and they're super picked over. I need some t-shirts, it's starting to get warm!

    I always have really good luck at Bellies to Babies in Richfied.  It's a consignment store.  Almost all of their tops are $6 and bottoms $9, and everything is in excellent condition!

    Both Knollwood and MOA are pretty pathetic - although MOA does have a few more items.  Gap Kids at MOA is pretty slim pickings as well.  I've gotten a few things at ON, Gap and Target, but most of the things I have I ordered online.

    Although the dress I wore yesterday was an ON regular dress - its super flowy and fit great (except maybe the chest area was a little tight but it was an XS).

    Yep, same frustration here! And I have a terrible time with clothes online, because I really vary b/t sizes and, even being PG, I can't wear anything with a boxy cut. I plan to check out the Richfield consignment shop.

    I'm having a hard time too.  I was able to get some things from Gap Maternity at Southdale (in Baby Gap).  Luckily I'm able to borrow clothes from my SIL, but not everything fits or is seasonally appropriate.  Thanks for the tip about the Richfield consignment shop. 

    I bought a few shirts from Motherhood Maternity, but it was expensive and the quality is not great, so I will not go there again.

    For those who don't mind consignment/second-hand clothes, you should also check out the Clothes Mentor. I know they have locations in Maple Grove and Roseville, not sure if they're the only two.  They had decent maternity sections.

    I second this.  Lots of variety and great prices.

    There's also one next to the OUAC near Ridgedale.

    I haven't posted on the Twin Cities site yet.....I've just been over on 1st tri but had to pitch in the following consignment suggestions:

    NuLook:  https://www.nulookconsignment.com/,

    Bellies to Babies https://www.belliestobabies.net/, and

    Nine: https://www.nineconsign.com/

    Also- if you have not heard of these larger consignment sales that happen only in the Spring and Fall- they are a great resource.  They may have maternity cloths but also gently used baby and children's clothes, toys, gear, cribs, strollers, etc, etc.  https://www.twincitieskidssales.com/

    haha I knew you'd say Old Navy.  It's true.  The one in Rochester is like one small display and two sections in the wall.  it wasn't even worth going in there.  And I normally LOVE old Navy.

    at least they've redeemed themselves with cute baby clothes ;)
