Re: maternity clothes

I bought a few things from Old Navy online because they are having amazing sales...I would normally wear an x-large top and x-large pant but I would go 1 size smaller with the jeans...I'm also VERY early so it may make difference when I have a belly, but the deals are to good to pass up

Re: maternity clothes

I also bought most of my clothes at Motherhood, some at JCPenny, some at Old Navy. With sizing, at least for me, I really have to try things on.

I tried to buy things I thought would last throughout the PG, I bought a few of the panel pants (which are great now! Even with the line from the top of the eleastic. I loved the secret belly fit pants from Motherhood during the second tri, but now that I am in my 3rd, they are constantly falling down and I am back to wearing a bella band to hold them up! Some of my favorite PG pants are actually non-maternity lounge pants! I bought a few pair of Champion sweat/lounge (whatever you call them) pants and they are the most comfortable things ever!

If you want something that will last you throughout the pregnancy, go with the full panel. I have some pants with no panel that I can still wear at 33 weeks, but the full panel ones, especially the Secret Fit Belly pants, are the most comfortable.

I bought a lot of stuff at Maternity Works in the Source Mall. They carry Motherhood and Mimi. I also bought stuff from the Gap, Old Navy, Mimi Maternity and Kohls. I also found a few things at H&M, Kohls, Target and either JC Penney or Sears.

Re: maternity clothes

Buy the secret belly if you can 'cus those will fit you long after the demi and roll pants become too tight.

I wasn't able to fit into them at all in my 3rd trimester.

And yes, I agree with the ladies here that Motherhood pants are the way to go. They are usually $20-30 for the secret fit and quite comfy. They are nice looking enough to wear to work.

Re: maternity clothes

I bought a few sweaters from the GAP on sale (online) they look stupid on me now b/c I don't have a belly yet -

Most of my friends found Gap and AT Loft to have great fitting pants - They went for tops/dresses anywhere and everywhere they happend to see something they liked -
I thnk bottoms are harder than tops -
