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! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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! -------------   Oct 11 & Mar 12

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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