Hi ladies
I'm only 10 weeks but I seem to be already getting a bit of a bump and it is getting very hard too hide!

Does anyone have an recommendations of places you can buy pretty floral summer dresses from?
I've found most places that carry a maternity range is just jeans, leggings and plain tee's. But I'm more a dress girl!

It seems in years gone by you could get a pretty printed empire line dress from anywhere, but now it is all about the 50's silhouette with a defined waist.
(Which just seems cruel because that is my favourite style and used to be so hard to find. Now they're everywhere and I can't wear them)
Sob - yes I am feeling sorry for myself!

If you don't mind that you can't try them on before buying, asos.com have a few flowery dresses in their maternity range at the moment. Because it's a UK site they tend to be the opposite season to us but at the moment they have autumn stuff which is suitable for spring here. It's free shipping too!

They don't have to be preggy ones. Some of my fave maternity clothes were just bigger sizes from normal shops. Try TM

what about Shanton or even Valley Girl? they both have some cute new season dresses coming in, including chiffon type tunics to wear over leggings (Shanton have them for only $20). Even Glassons have got their new season's range in

I'm looking for nice clothes to cover my puku too, I don't much like the stuff available maternity wear I have seen. It's not yet in anyway huge, but I keep getting bloated, and my boobs have gone up a size and I just feel a bit blah. When I try and cover it up I just look larger than usual :-( I'm all for tummy hugging stuff once it looks like a bump and once I have told people, but keeping it under wraps at the moment is a bit tricky!

I feel your pain Pepi-bebe! That's exactly how I feel.

Thanks for the reccomendations. I actually got some cute shorts from Pumpkin Patch over the weekend but they didn't have any dresses (probably because I was at dressmart)

Looks like there is some cute stuff on ASOS in the clearance section so I might place an order

I'm in the same boat too as you two ladies.

I ordered some Jean West maternity jeans, they turned up today thankfully, as I was thinking it was going to have to be a jarmies day. OMG they are sooo comfy. Highly recommend them.


And 3 gorgeous big sisters.

The problem I have found with maternity wear is it is sooooo expensive.
