Just went through my maternity clothes-ack

I think I have been in denial about the growing bump. Probably because the idea of wearing maternity is scary. I do think I manged to piece something together with a few summer additions. Here's hoping I can find a few more pieces for summer w/o too many returns. I HATE maternity shopping, being smaller pre-pregnancy means everything looks like a tent and the neck lines are well past my little boobs! Then again maybe that is just how they make things.

Very scary and yet exciting milestone.

    Congrats on busting out the maternity clothes! I am very petite (5ft tall and 118 pre pregnancy). I found maternity tops to all look like tents on me, even size small. They still look that way and I am over 33 weeks now. I just bought regular tops and dresses in a bigger size than normal, then I figure I can wear them afterwards when I am trying to slim down. I also bought a lot of regular shirts that are more flowy. They only actual maternity items I have are jeans and capris. Summer is easy for maternity, there are tons of cute summery dresses and skirts. I also bought a few elastic wasted skirts from ON, non-maternity, that work fabulously. AND I will wear them afterwards.

    I went through mine last week to pull out some pants to cover the bloat. Everything just seems so blah and big. I also found all of my pants seemed way too short. I'm going to make a bunch of mat pants out of old pants I don't wear anymore.

    I have some postpartum tops that I am hoping to wear throughout the summer but I doubt they make it to August. I will buy as needed.

    Some of my maternity pants were too short as well and one seemed very short in the crotch. I assume that has to do with carrying differently.

    I am right there with you.  I am rather petite and so many things look huge!  My pre-preg jean capris were getting a little snug so I just started wearing mat ones... but they are soooo baggy! For shirts, I have some from my last pregnancy but I am mostly wearing flowy, tunic type tops that will cover the fact that my mat pants are a bit baggy.  I also have been wearing bathing suit cover-ups as shirts since they are long and flowy.  One of the best purchases I made with my last pregnancy was maternity camisoles, since a lot of the shirts are so low cut.
