maternity clothes

[Regina]

Okay, I probably have the most extensive wardrobe of maternity clothing, since it dates almost every year back to 1999....But, I am looking for some more clothes. Some of the clothes I just can't stand to look at anymore. Where does everyone get their clothes? I know the usual motherhood, gap, target, mimi...but is there another place?

I wear mostly skirts, shorts, t-shirts, twin-sets, and it has to be machine washable. Up north, I mostly had the longer maternity skirts, but I am looking for comfortable ones that fall right under the knee...it's pretty hot down here still. I love the baby doll look t's. We just don't have the malls or stores around here, so I either need to drive an hour to Tampa or order online, which online is a lot easier.

So, for all you that have been buying maternity clothing lately, can you give me some hints on some other places to look. We definetly can't afford something like a pea in the pod 200 dollar dress. Any points to the right direction would be appreciated.

Have you tried Old Navy?

It's been two years but I got alot of my clothes at Old Navy. I liked their stuff alot. I think they are actually having a fall sale now online and they have 5 dollar shipping always.

I'm not sure how you feel about used clothing, but I have always found some awesome deals on Maternity clothes at the local Goodwill. I realize that some people aren't into the used thing, but I found clothes still with the tags on them all of the time. I actually found a pair of brand new Maternity Jeans by Motherhood Maternity that still had the tags on them! They were my favorite pregnancy jeans of all time and they only cost me $3.00!

If you aren't into the used thing, check Target. They have a great line that is reasonably priced- and they always have a great sales rack.

Good Luck!

I agree, try Old Navy. I like Gap a lot for pants (since I can order short length...), but I have a lot of cute tops from Old Navy. Gap online has a lot of stuff on sale right now (along with Old Navy online). Old Navy has 5$ shipping and I think Gap is now 6$. Motherhood just started 5$ shipping as well.

Do you have a Kohl's down there? They have a lot of cute tops as well.

Have you tried Ross? I remember they had those where I was in Florida and I heard alot of people say they have a huge selection of maternity clothes.

I end up looking on ebay for items a lot. I buy new with tags Gap maternity pants for a lot less money than at the store.

I can't even afford Motherhood unless it's on sale, they have gotten sooo expensive in the last few years. I did totally splurge on their new pants though and it was soo worth it!

They are so much more comfy than the elastic band pants, I remember by the end of both my other pg's, that I would be dying to rip my pants off by the end of the day because that heavy tight band across the top of the belly was soo uncomfy.

For other places, it's really hit or miss, sometimes you find something good, sometimes nothing, but when you do find something it's usually REALLY good as far as price/value. I'd say Sears, Ross, etc. Places like that. I got a couple of tunic shirts at Sears in the Juniors dept. that are long and wide enough for maternity, and I think they look cuter than a lot of maternity stuff does. I prefer things tops that conform to the belly, instead of the triangle shape tops that tent out around the bottom.

I got a hugh lot of m. clothes on ebay. All name brand, (motherhood, gap, induetime ect..) over 50 pieces for 75 bucks. It gave me a good start, since I din't have anything.(gave the first set away, really thought we were done). and DH just got me a great pair of work slacks at Target. (by the way half of the stuff I got off ebay had tags) but since I am SURE that this one is the last I don't feel like spending a ton on a temp. wardrobe, so I am looking for cute but cheep!
