xsmall maternity clothes?
I'm having a lot of truble finding xsmall clothes, and some are even too big
what do teen moms do? I need junior maternity clothes and they don't make them 
I used to wear size 14 kids clothes
any ideas where I can buy really small items? old navy, gap and target are ALL way to big
Also- since I'm carrying twins, do you think I will still buy my regular size thru the end?

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
Had the same issue I bought a few extra small sized tops at honey due in wood bury. Expensive but worth

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
forever21! I'm a size 4 sometimes 6 and wear a S in destination maternity and most other stores (some smalls are even big on me) and a M in forever21 maternity. Forever21 tends to run small as it is, and my guess is that's where the teen moms shop  They also have a lot of flowy non-maternity tops that LOOK maternity. I'm nearly 23w and bigger than you and I'm still in mainly non-maternity tops so I imagine you could get away with non-maternity tops for a while as well, although I dont know how twins will factor in
Destination maternity may have XS too?

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
I checked forever 21 online and didn't see much I will have to hit the mall for that.
I can buy adult jeans but I usually wear a 0 or 1, and I tried buying 2s and 4s but the legs and butt are way to baggy then

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
You should do well over the summer with just empire waisted dresses/maxi dresses. You might do well with a bella band for your own pants for a while.
Congrats!

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
As for jeans, i would recommend investing in a pair of good skinny jeans. They carry the higher end brands at Nordstrom online and at Destination Maternity (as well as smaller boutiques). I am not nearly as small as you, but found that they were way less baggy than the cheaper ones.

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
Sounds a lot like my situation.
Up until 22 weeks I wore Old Navy elastic waist Jeggings.
My work khakis are Motherhood size XS and I need to tie rubber bands on the belly panel to keep them up. I have two pairs of Motherhood XS boot cut jeans that are a little big too, and I don't think flatter my butt or legs at all. (I am 5'3", 28 weeks and all belly, only up 16 pounds... normally I am a size 1/3 and XS/S).
What I found helpful is to get styles that can be worn after I give birth. For example, I am currently wearing a pair of Old Navy size S cargo bermudas (they have thick elastic and a draw string waist).
I am wearing a long tank top (wife beater style). Other tops that work well are the kinds that normally work well with spandex leggings. Like it pulls tighter/has a thick band or elastic at the bottom and you're supposed to "puff" the shirt out.. I dunno what the style is called. I find that JCPenney Juniors Dept. has a lot of these style tops.
I have a size XS maternity top from Motherhood that is still too big. With only 2 1/2 months to go, I'm going to just buy as I need.

Don't click on the maternity button and instead do a search for "maternity" and you should get more like 30 items. That said, if you ever go out to the city to shop for maternity clothes text me and I'll come with ;)
Edit: just checked and now when you search you only get 11 items but they are different ones. You used to get 2 pages. Their website sucks!

I live in NYC and went to both locations and they have VERY little to choose from. I mean maybe 1 rack of clothes at most. Destination Maternity sells some stuff in xs and I actually got a few items at target today too in xs. Try old navy too. It's not easy finding maternity clothes in you are tiny, and it's even harder when your big chested too!!!

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
I'm the same exact way the best thing I can tell you is that maternity clothes will make you look awful till your about 30 weeks. I just shopped juniors and bought a size large. It lookd so much nicer in form fitted clothes. And also blouses with with gathered around the waste

Re: xsmall maternity clothes?
Motherhood Maternity carries jeans and pants in XS, I bought a few pairs and they were great at first, but then I graduated to S and M later on in my pregnancy. They also come in petite.
They also carry some XS tops, they might fit you a little large at first but the further you get into ur pregnancy, the better they fit.
