    Plus size maternity clothes

    Hi all, hoping for some BB wisdom and help on this one.

    Pre pregnancy I was a 22 - 24 bottom and an 18- 20 top and I'm really struggling to find comfortable clothes for work and a couple of formal weddings I've got coming up in February.

    Does anyone know of any shops in Melbourne, or good online shops that I can have a look at? eBay has been a hit and miss lately and I've bought a couple of things online from the US, and even doing measurements properly have ended up with a couple of dresses which fall off my shoulders and make me look 15 months pregnant with triplets. Not my best look.

    Thanks

    not sure where you are in melb but there's a shop in seaford called preggi central that have a great range of sizes. they also have an online shop so if you google them you should be able to find the site. the added bonus is that there's a baby shop almost next door with reasonable priced baby clothes as well!

    they're not cheap but they do have sales every so often which is a bonus.

    Another here who recommends Preggi Central. I thought their prices were pretty on par with other Mat shops. I am hoping to get some nice bf tops from them.

    online, try 'oldnavy'. They are an american website, but they do have nice stuff! Tehy go up to size 20. Just watch the shipping prices, the more you buy the better the shipping is!
