maternity clothes

where is everyone buying clothes??

gap either doesnt have my size or in the length i need for pants and $60 for capris is absurd. Old navy has not much

the target near me had 2 racks and not much else and everything was size 14 & up.

i havent tried kohls, and the motherhood store in my mall is out of business.

im dying here...

Re: maternity clothes

Honestly , the best luck I have had is Gap online. It fits me the best, and has the best quality IMO, besides Pea in the Pod which is $$$$$ .
I was fortunate that my birthday was in April , so everyone got me gift cards to the Gap. They run true to size, so whatever you were wearing before will fit. I'd rather have 2-3 good quality pants then 6 eh quality pants .

Old navy stuff really didn't look right , and target I found one shirt and yoga pants and that's about it.

I did get some stuff at motherhood as well , but the tops are a little too busy for my style. I did get a few basic tee's and tanks there, and it is fine . You can also order online from them.

Re: maternity clothes

i have done the best at old navy online, kohls and Motherhood

But let me just give you a little piece of advice... Motherhood owns the brand that kohls carries and its half the price. especially if you can catch kohls on a sale. bayshore store has a larger selection then massapequa.

also if your belly isnt toobig my suggestion is to just buy reg. clothes a size or 2 bigger.. thats what ive done and ive saved myself alot of $$$. the only real maternity clothes im wearing are my pants and shorts.

Re: maternity clothes

i recently just got some clothes from Oldnavy, kohls, and JCP

Re: maternity clothes

Mostly Kohls.
Some tops from Old Navy online (jeans & pants that got uncomfortable by 20w).
A handful of things from walmart.com
Maternity Works once and was disppointed with everything I purchased (and couldn't return any of it!).
Macys in the very beginning where I got a two dresses and a pair of work pants that actually fit in length.

I've had to have at least 6 pairs of pants hemmed.


ETA: Also tops at Sears.

Re: maternity clothes

i have had nothing but luck with JC Penney online maternity stuff. they have plus sized and 'normal sized' maternity items!

the sizes are great and prices are AWESOME! I have literally returned ONE piece that i bought from them (and i've gotten like 15 items from them).

Old Navy - i returned every ounce!

Re: maternity clothes

I find the maternity store prices crazy. And the clothes are nothing great.


kohl's for pants/capris. You hit a good sale, you'll pay $15 for each.

I'm short, gap online is the only place that I found pants that fit.


Tops - I'm buying regular shirts, larger sizes. Maternity tops look HORRIBLE on me! I think it's because Im short, they are too big on me

Re: maternity clothes

JCPenney online

and a few things from motherhood

Re: maternity clothes

I found most of my stuff in JCP or Sears. And their prices were reasonable.

Re: maternity clothes

I've had good luck with the Kohl's web site.

Re: maternity clothes

So far I have had alot of luck at NY & Co. I know it is not maternity but some of their pants have elastic waist, I have about 5 pairs from there and here are some shirts I bought last weekend.
I had no luck either at gap or target

Re: maternity clothes

I've had the best luck with Old Navy online and H&M in store - I mean, that's not saying much, but I actually did buy a top in H&M that I got compliments on!

JCP had some nice stuff online, but I wasn't quick enough and it was all sold out by the time I got around to finding something in my size!

Re: maternity clothes

I buy gap or pea in a pod usually. Or I buy cotton dresses from any place that isn't maternity as well. I just got a cute one for the summer at Forever 21.

Re: maternity clothes

Craigslist

Re: maternity clothes

The majority of my stuff has come from Destination Maternity, which means it's mostly the Motherhood brand. I have several A Pea in the Pod shirts from there too. Macy's also sells Motherhood and A Pea in the Pod, and I've shopped there too.

I've also bought from Gap and Old Navy maternity online.

I also picked up a few things at Target and Old Navy, but not much.

I've spent a lof ot $$ on maternity clothes so far, and have also had to get a lot of my pants hemmed to the correct length.

Re: maternity clothes

Love Desitination Maternity b/c they have Motherhood and Pea in a Pod there so if you're looking for something high end or something inexpensive you get the best of both worlds.

Re: maternity clothes

I just got a ton of stuff from Destination Maternity and I am very happy :)

Re: maternity clothes

i did well at Motherhood Maternity, JCPenney (Cheap, but cute tops!)

Re: maternity clothes

Re: maternity clothes

I have bought most of my maternity clothes at Old Navy or the Gap online. I have also gotten a few things at the Motherhood outlet.
