Pregnant after 35

Any recommendations for inexpensive tshirts, tank tops that aren't see-through?

I'm really struggling to find good maternity clothes that I can wear during the week to work as well as on the weekends without spending ridiculous amounts of $$. This is the last baby for us, so I'm  trying to keep the wardrobe streamlined, I went to old Navy last week and found some ok tshirts, GAP had some too but they're all so see- through! When it's 90 degrees and humid, the last thing I'm looking to do is have to layer clothing and on the other hand I have no desire to spend $50 on one shirt that I'll never wear again after this Fall. Any suggestions or sales that anyone's noticed? Is it just me or is this a gimmick used to make us buy more than one item of clothing?

  • Have you tried the Plus Size section? I picked up a few cute shirts and dresses from there
  • I got most of my maternity clothes from Goodwill.  After all, they were barely worn and a lot of them were very nice.  If you're cool with second-hand stuff, then I'd check them out.

    I wear scrubs with t-shirts to work and have had the same problem - see through or really deep v necks. The black, dark gray, and orange color t-shirts from Gap are
    not see through (with a nude bra). if you have a Gapcard they are always having 40% off sales. I found two at motherhood that would work for business casual one on clearance for $9. I really don't like how they are
    all so form fitting now either.

    I ordered some tank tops from old navy online. Not see through and keep me cool in this crazy GA heat.
  • Old Navy's tanks aren't see-through. I have a black Gap Pure Body shirt I've been wearing that's fine, also (and Gap and ON always have online coupons). Target's maternity line just doesn't fit me right, and I think their t-shirts are too heavy of a material - they might be what you're looking for, though!

  • I also like Old Navy for inexpensive tanks & shirts. Their maternity T's are very light weight :)
  • I've found shirts on zulilly but you can't return them if you don't like them. You can find a lot on the site that are inexpensive.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I have a black Old Navy tshirt but the white is really see through, I really don't want to wear a tank top underneath it. Maybe it's just here in the city but the Old Navy maternity dept is pathetic as is the Gap one. The selection is really really limited and at old navy it's lumped in with the other clearance stuff. I haven't had good luck with Zulillly, takes too long to receive everything but I did buy some stuff on Gilt this week. We'll see. I hate buying without being able to try stuff on because I'm horrible at returning things!

  • You can return most Gap/ON stuff to the store, even if you buy it online. ON has a lot more maternity options online.
