Now featuring at TWH. Saw in the lastest catalog this morning. so those on tight budgets or even those that aren't I suppose. Wish they bought this out earlier in the year. all i had for the entire time was: 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair black pants, 2 skirts; 1 black one pink, and yoga pants. And millions of stretchy tops from all sorts of places. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

Yeah I found it hard to get maternity clothes that I didn't have to mortgage the house to buy! I hated spending too much money as i knew I wouldn't be in them too long.
So now TWH and KMart have a good selection, am looking forward to getting to buy some more, hopefully soon! ------------- Lindsey

And it goes up to size 20 so that is even better (for me anyway). ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was a bit annoyed too that finally another store has bought out some maternity clothes for those who can't afford EGG or full price pumpkin patch etc!
Of course they had to bring them out when I've only got 3 weeks to go - its not worth me buying anything really..... ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

I saw that!! YAY!
I never bought any Preggy cloths with DD as I hardly had a tummy but this time I have no choice I am running out of cloths. I went to KMart and saw a pair of Cargo pants (didnt really like the quality) for $34.95. Then I took those special code thingies in PP website and bought me Awesome Cargo pants for $19.95. I just orderded a pair of Parachute 3/4 shorts from PP for $18.74. I dont need tops as I get them from Pagani at half price.... Guys have a look at the PP website and codes....some real quality stuff is out there for the same price you would pay in Kmart and TWH. I would have never paid $59.99 for the cargo pants I got...but $19.95 I can handle!!
And if you are interested the two codes are: 235014 and 235018. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

sarah betha i wouldnt complain- you had heaps of maternity pants! I had/have two pairs of jeans. That's it. Plus one pair stopped fitting me at about 6 1/2 months.
Great to hear they have it @ TWH now! Just guttered it's too late for me :-( ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Drats... just tried the PP website, but the promo codes dont seem to be working.
Oh well might have to try TWH this weekend instead, or maybe get onto some more sewing. Made a couple of tops so far, got a few compliments so they must look alright!
Its trousers I tend to have issues with as I am smallish up top so can fit most non fitting tops easily. ------------- Jan 08 :angel: http://lilypie.com">

Roksana!!! THANK YOU
I'm stuck right in between sizes with PP & I was loathed to buy something that I will grown out of soonish. At those prices I could justify buying a pair of Jeans & a pair of dress pants. So for the same price as a pair of jeans in the shop I got two. I never thought to look at their online shop....I just looked at the emails they sent out...this could be dangerous for my credit card  ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Its all good.
If you have a look at the Product Review thread a a topic "PP Codes" and there are some who have given many many Maternity codes. I dont need tops but like others having major issues with pants. What I liked about the cargos I got was that it has an adjustable waist (like kids stuff) and I think I will be ok to wear them when I am not pregnant...Bonus! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

SO can you still buy old PP clothes from the code website??
That is neat. I brought a few tops from Kmart and they are quite good Ill have to have a look at THW later. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yes...not all of them are marked down tho. Like jeans...as they can be worn any time and is more popular than the other stuff. But they have some really cool tops for like $12. I say $12 PP Top is a awesome bargain.
Have a look guys! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just used the codes and managed to get a pair of jeans for $17.99 woohoo!!!
Got some other pants and a top as well for the grand total of $55. There is a link to a great website http://patchcodes.whnz.net/ppnz.php?start=1 - link that gives you all the codes and what is in stock, which colours sizes and the prices as well as linking you straight to PP so you can buy them. -------------

Also anyone that is in ChCh there is a wee shop on the cnr of Westminster and Cranford called Ladybumps that sells second hand maternity wear at good prices - I use to own it but have sold it (so am not advertising for myself!!!!). They have kept the prices low still though so it may be worth checking out as often Mat wear is still in good condition.
They als buy your old stuff so a good way of making money without mucking around on TM. -------------

I went to The Warehouse at Queensgate in Lower Hutt today, and they have the Maya Maternity range there.
But the sizing is quite big. I was a size 10 pre-pregnancy, and I only have a little tiny bump, so really don't fit maternity stuff yet. Anyhow, I tried on the size 10 maternity jeans, and they were massive around my hips and legs!!! I did buy a pair in the end, only because I envision I will get bigger soon. The range of tops are ok, however they aren't cut very well, so can make you look a bit shapeless (this is just my opinion). I suppose in the end, you get what you pay for. But I think I will be sticking to Pumpkin Patch and Egg, because at least the clothing fits better and is tailored very well. I know I pay a premium price, but I am not too worried about that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I found Egg far too expensive since Ill only be wearing them for a few months.
Pumpkin Patch is good, I have a few items from there. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I went to the warehouse today and OMG the sizing is huge. I'm normally a size 10-12 but their size 10s were swimming on me. I managed to get a couple of tops but that was it. Maternity tops really annoy me, they seem to assume that everyone is gonna have mega boobs, well i'm still a size 12 A so they all fit my bump but not my boobs. Might have to buy some of those chicken fillet things.-------------

The pumpkin patch site is great! About 10 things, $160! I set for the next 14 weeks.
Can't bear wondering what to wear right now, nothing fits! Few tops & linen pants - sorted. |
