If you don't mind second hand clothes, eBay can be a gold mine!
I didn't work during my pregnancy so I didn't need a big wardrobe, yoga pants were fine for the most part. But, I did buy a few key items at Target and Old Navy. Most Old Navys don't have maternity sections in-store, but the one in Bloomingdale on Army Trail had a small section when I was pregnant in 2011. I loved my ON maternity jeans!
BFP #1: 3.28.11 Dx w/ PIH @ 24w
DS Born @ 36w: 11.7.11
6 Days in NICU BFP #2: 8.31.16 Dx w/ GD @ 28w DD Born @ 36w: 4.21.17
I had some good luck at the Motherhood Maternity outlet in Aurora. They didn't have many dresses though!
However, I did find a cute dress at the Talbots outlet that should work. For dresses, too... I found one I liked on Etsy... I may try to order it for two weddings in May & June! Something from this shop: dresses
Kohls actually has a small plus size maternity section & the last I heard the Old Navy in Aurora (Rt. 59) has a maternity section. I got a majority of my clothes were at the motherhood maternity in Michigan City Indiana ITS THE BEST OUTLET MALL EVER!!
