Plus size maternity clothing
I know there's probably a ton of links but I can't seem to find much.
I went shopping for the first time yesterday at Destination Maternity and they had a great selection but I didn't really find much other than a few pairs of workpants (which was exactly what i wanted/needed).
Where else can you go? I know theres a ton of stores online but i'm not really comfortable doing that since I don't know sizes and don't want to have to return it

Re: Plus size maternity clothing
I shopped Motherhood maternity online and then I supplemented with larger size Lane Bryant and some of my own clothes.
I only ever ordered two pairs of work pants and have been using my own work pants with the bella band. As for tops I ordered about 5 and then either bought larger size Lane Bryant and/or some of my own stuff still fits me.

Just curious, where did you get the bella band? I'm not completely sold on it but its probably a good option
I figured that most of my tops would probably fit me for a while since they are stretch and some are a little bigger than others. Its pants i'm concerned/worried about. (Though no one would notice and i could probably get away with wearing the same 3-4 pairs a week).

I also did Motherhood Maternity and JC Penny maternity, they have a great plus size selection online and very easy to return in the stores if they dont fit.

I got the bella band on Motherhood maternity plus size. It's called the plus tummy sleeve. At 34w6d I'm wearing mine today.

JCPenney. Lane Bryant used to have a maternity line ( i bought a bunch of stuf last time) but they got rid of it.
FM me your size (if you want!) - I will be getting rid of stuff soon and would love to give it to someone that needs it.

Re: Plus size maternity clothing
Buying larger regular clothes did not work at all for me- everything was too short but giant on the chest and arms.
Motherhood has plus, JC Penny (especially the website), and Old Navy maternity goes to XXL, which is about a size 18/20 (but I found that some of the clothes were too giant on the chest and I already rock a DD, so IDK what the heck they r thinking!).
