Where can I find nice stuff that won't break my wallet? I have no problem living in trackpants but I would love to find some nice things too. I have bough belly bands and am finding them absolutly wonderful and are extending the life of my jeans  but just know, well I think I do, that they are gonna be useless in a few months time. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you

| What size are you pre-preg? I found there wasnt really a lot around - unless you go to dressmart to K&K |

I also bought some work pants from Postie Plus, they had an elasticated waist so were perfect. I bought tops from The Warehouse, and KMart, and also a couple from Farmers. The only actual maternity stuff I bought were some singlets from Kmart, and some pants from the Patch outlet store in Westgate. Sometimes their XL sizing is quite big - it depends on what it is and the fabric. Good Luck!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Thanks ladies. pre preg I was a size 22 in Farmers stuff. I haven't gained to much weight but do have a rather large bump that pants won't fit over anymore  I got some larger tops already but am keen to get some nicer bottoms as I have a few family things coming up over the next few months that will require wearing something other than trackpants.

Try Ezibuy as well - they have some lovely clothes that suit larger sizes including pants - look for fabric waist bands - and they dont need to be preggy clothes either. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  [/url http://lilypie.com">

| I really stuggled with clothes for my previous pregnancy especially as I was working so needed some 'work' clothes. I was a size 20. I ended up going onto www.motherhood.com (I think). It is an american site and they ship to NZ. There standard clothes are so-so but they have some great sale items and as the exchange rate is so good it might be an option to look at. |

I second (third?) K and K, I have a couple of pairs of their elastic waisted pants that are cut quite low and they are really comfy. They also have some nice tops. And the outlet store at Dressmart is really cheap. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
