Job Interviews (yay!) in December (yikes!)

Hello!

I just learned today that I will be going on some job interviews in December, and I am going to 8 months pregnant... Where in the world can I find interview suits in maternity? (With the kind of job I am interviewing for, I will expected to be in very formal apparel). Have any of you been through this experience before? I think there is high awkward potential here. 

One plus, I would not be expected to start working at any of these jobs until July at the earliest.

    Good luck! I would acknowledge the pregnancy in the beginning, the elephant in the room :) . I am sure you can find a maternity suit, some women have to wear suits to work every day. Maybe gap?

    Maternity suits are difficult to find and I personally don't think it's worth the money for a one time wear in the last month of pg. I would look for a nice dress or pants, button down shirt (or nice blouse) and possible a jacket.

    Pea in a Pod probably has suits if you absolutely have to get one.  But I'd recommend a pair of black maternity pants, button up shirt, and a non-maternity suit coat unbuttoned.  You will be VERY OBVIOUSLY pregnant at that point, so I think they will be understanding.

    I have to wear suits a lot to work and I found a nice jacket at Destination maternity/motherhood.  It was reasonably priced too.  Good luck!

    This might sound really strange, but I have a maternity suit that I wore 2x to interview in I'm an attorney, so a formal suit was required. Its a single button black jacket knee length skirt from pea in the pod, size M. It was 300 new wthe bluegreen shell I wore under it. I would sell all three pieces for 100 ship it to you plus shipping costs. I have a paypal account so payment could be handled that way. If you're interested, email me at my screen name yahoo and maybe we can work something out. If you're not interested, no worries, and best of luck to you!
