    Basic Maternity T-shirts?

    So it seems Kmart have dumped their Bub2b range and I'm desperate for some colourful summer tshirts/tops that will cover my already enormous bump! My local Target and Big W and Best and Less also seem to have reduced their stock and only have pretty crappy stuff (and it's all black, white or grey!) I'm a size 12-14 but find if I go to a 16+ in normal (non maternity clothes) I still struggle for the length I need and it is huge around my boobs/neck/shoulders!

    I've been looking online but refuse to pay $45 for a top! Even Pumpkin Patch are ridiculous prices!

    Anyone got a fave online store that won't bankrupt me? I lived in kmart winter stuff last pregnancy and am so annoyed they are stopping their maternity range (according to my local store)

    I really, really love Supre's basic singlets for maternity wear. They come in a massive range of colours, are really long and stretchy, and only $10 a pop - I buy them in bulk and wear them with everything They're also stocking heaps of floaty, summery tops in chiffon and other fabrics, most of their lines are available in L or XL (which equates to a Target size 12-14 and 14-16). Their website is great for the sale section, lots of stock marked down to very cheap prices (I have a thing about paying more than $30 for a top that I don't need for a special occasion lol, so I just wait until it becomes sale stock and then buy up lol) HTH!

    I have found Pumpkin Patch Maternity fab, but I only buy when on sale. Also a brand caled Soon Maternity. Also great but don't buy unless on sale as they are exxy.

    I know hat you mean. Im in desperate need of some maternity/breastfeeding tops and the only ones that are within my price range are black, grey, black and grey stripes, white,or really washed out unflattering colours. I havent been able to find anything bright and happy, and proud of my tummy, everything so far wants to hide my precious bump (and thats exactly what I dont want to do!).

    yeah disappointed with Kmart - went in there the other day to check out what was available as I'm looking at getting some new summer tops to wear for this pg (and I need to find some pants/bottoms to wear as I haven't been reasonably pg in summer) and there was almost nothing there I relied on bub2b last pg for some nice t-shirt/long sleeve tops

    I'm lucky with mat clothes, my mum works for pumpkin patch and gets a 40% discount so they work out reasonable. Other than that i bought tops and tights from Supre that have done me up until last week. It's only now that i'm finding i HAVE to wear my maternity clothes, and i'm having a c-sec on wednesday so it's great timing

    I wondered what was going on. I love my bub2b t-shirts. Thankfully my last pg was the same time of year as this one. I managed to find one top I liked in Target and even the girl at the checkout commented on how all the maternity stuff was black or grey. And what is up with all the horizontal stripes? As if I need to look even bigger than I feel.

    They do that with larger sized clothes in general - black or horizontal stripes.

    I have just gone and brought 6 bub2bub tops at Kmart.

    Don't forget ebay and your op-shops.

    Ebay! i bought bulk lots of clothes on ebay, got some very nice clothes for a great price.
    ETA: Can't believe KMart aren't doing Bub2B anymore - did they say why?
    I'm still wearing their mat tops now - easier to pull up for BF!

    Really? Drats! I was planning on popping into Kmart to get a few tshirts when DH gets paid I have no summer maternity clothes!

    And what is up with all the horizontal stripes? As if I need to look even bigger than I feel.
    I say the same thing all the time! I have about 5 stripy maternity tops...and they're all a combo of black, white and grey too!

    Right back to Kmart tomorrow to grab whatever bub2b they have left... Most of the tops I on-gifted ( ) were bub2b and I didn't mind as I was planning on just replacing them!!

    Ah well!
