Maternity clothes shopping disaster!
So, I know I am a plus sized lady, but shopping is so hard!!!! I went to Motherhood and got some cute things yesterday but I still need pants! Unless my principal will let me come to school partially naked!!!
I don't have particuarly heavy legs but OMG, the legs on these pants were so skinny it was ridiculous!
Any suggestions? I looked on JCpenny and am going to buy a few things there!

Old Navy Maternity sizes run pretty big, you might have luck there. They have some good stuff at the one in the Source Mall

Old navy if you need XXL doesn't carry it in their stores only online (well they carry some tops just not bottoms)
I would check out Lane Bryant online has maternity they are a little more expensive $40-50 - but I bought two pairs of blank pants and had a coupon and they are machine washable and held up better than any of the $20-30 pairs I got from anywhere else. If you are going to wear them for a while I would just buy one or two pairs and wash them.

Ihad a hard time with pants too. I finally broke down and ought 2 pairs of dress pants from lane bryant.com and it was so worth it!! They fit great and wear great. I have to check later but I think I have a coupon code somewhere -- i will check.

I got a really nice pair of black dress pants from the gap on line. A little pricey but I love them. And a Old navy online is good too.

Re: Maternity clothes shopping disaster!
I hear you!!! I was so mad when I left Motherhood-what's with only having two or three rows of clothes when the rest of the store is regular sizes? I wound up stuff from Lane Bryant maternity, thank goodness for them. My black dress pants are a godsend and so are my jeans and a few tee-shirts. I know what you mean about the legs though-I do carry more of my weight in my thighs unfortunately and pants are hard

Re: Maternity clothes shopping disaster!
pants are SO frustrating - i need petite lengths which is almost impossible to find in stores. i bought a cropped pant from Motherhood and 1 pair of black work slacks from Mimi (they were about $70 but the quality is nice) i'm just sick of wearing black pants to work. now that its warmer skirts should be easier
i figured i could try to get away with some reg. tops in the empire/babydoll style that's in now but my prob is they are not cut for shorter people so they hit right on my thigh and i look stumpy, frumpy and gross!!! i was SOO upset about this today because i had NOTHING to wear and have officially outgrown my reg. jeans
