Need some help finding long tunic-type tops or short dresses.

I'm in that weird PG stage where everything is uncomfortable except sweats and jeans, neither of which I can wear to work.

I'm most comfy in leggings with a short dress/long top like this:

However, long sleeves and a turtleneck is NOT going to cut it, since I'm always sweating!

I'm too short for most of the dresses - they all come to mid-calf.

I've checked out Motherhood and found 1 top that works.

Pea in the Pod is way above my budget.

H&M didn't have anything

JC Penny didn't have anything

And I'm too large to fit into Forever 21.

I'm stuck!!! I hate not being able to dress myself - I feel so schlumpy every day. Chat Icon

Anyone know of any websites? stores? anything?
Thanks!

Have you tried Target? Their maternity line looks really cute!

yes- forgot to post that!
Unfortunately, their dresses are soooo long, and they didn't have any long tops out yet this season.

Thanks though!

Have you tried Gap? If you sign up for their maternity emails, you get $10 off $40 coupons frequently.

They have lots of styles of pants so you can get different levels of belly coverage too.

There's a ton of stuff on sale at Gap.com right now.

Re: Need some help finding long tunic-type tops or short dresses.

So I'm guessing your looking for either maternity or something non-maternity, but flowy for a little belly.


Macy's women's dept....On sale for $50, blue or yellow.. I thought it would look cute with a little belly

I second this recommendation. I just came back from making a credit card payment and liked some of the spring apparel. I especially liked Riley + James. Maternity wise I saw a line called belly basics. The have 2, 3, or 4-piece pregnancy survival kits (one kit contained a wrap dress) in a plastic square box. Bonus the kits are on sale Chat Icon. Five years ago I would have never looked at clothing in Sears, so either I'm getting old or there clothing is finally appealing.
