Basic Maternity T-shirts?

**phebee** · September 17th, 2011, 07:50 PM

I am SO annoyed at Kmart! The whole time I was TTC and in the first trimester when I didn't need maternity clothes yet, they had an awesome range! As soon as I start needing maternity stuff, they dump the line. Not happy Jan!!! I also refuse to pay ridiculous prices for clothes so I'll just have to get whatever is stretchy or babydollish over summer.

Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!

I find Cotton On a size or two up are working for me without the baggy neck. Pumpkin Patch outlet stores are great, I picked up a white maternity T for $5 the other day.

Well that explains why my two Kmart stores have next to nothing left in maternity - bugger. I lived in their clothes while pregnant with DD, shame I'm pregnant in completely different seasons this time.

Target's range sucks. There are only several items and they are so dull. I'm sick of black and grey especially as I'm looking for summer clothes

Pumpkin Patch currently have 25% off their online maternity wear so I think I'll get a few things from there. I'm also planning on getting a few decent maternity items this time and just wearing them to death. I'm finding normal t-shirts and singlet tops in a larger size just aren't cutting it as I only need the extra room for my bump and boobs but not all other areas. The sleeves and necklines just don't fit quite right. Argh, it's so frustrating!

I can recommend the denim skirt from PP, don't by the Jeans I got them but they dont have the nice soft waist band its tight elastic and I find it very uncomfortable so I dont wear them.

All the Tops I've gotten from them have been great, and the black work pants I got.

I never fitted into the Kmart stretchy tops as they started at size 10, but it's a shame for those that did, they looked like quite a good cheap alternative.

They're not tshirts nor maternity wear but I've just bought the Big W Emerson Stretch rib tank tops to wear under cardies. 7.96each I thought that was quite cheap to wear something that I don't care will stretch or wear after bubs comes. come in a heap of colours too. the few maternity clothes tops I bought took me through winter and I didn't want to go buying warmer weather expensive maternity clothes just for the last 9 weeks.

I will second Supre!!! Especially if you can find a discount outlet, they are sooooo worth it!! Singlets and tops for $3, not the highest quality, but they last for as long as you have bump!!!

Thanks everyone. My belly is REALLY big

(and I'm only 25 weeks) so I definitely need the length and "belly room" of proper maternity clothes. I'm set for pants, skits etc, just need more tshirts/tops, with sleeves (no singlet tops at school) but everywhere online they seem to be $45+

I like the stuff on Old Navy, does anyone have any idea how Aus sizes convert to US? Some sites seen to say add 2 to the size (eg a US 10=AU 12) others say add 4? If I'm a US 14 I'm a medium, 16 I'm a large? Any ideas?

**MrsFabuloso** · September 18th, 2011, 01:35 PM

I'm a 16 (ish!) in Aus and about 14 in American, though an Aussie XL, and American XL. For me I think I'm in between sizings. That said, I believe that their sizes are 2 sizes behind ours, ie, an Aussie 12 is American 8. Aus S is American XS.

Hmm that is really weird? I second Pumpkin Patch... but only on sale

you need to go into the store though really to find the good bargains.

If you have some time you could look on facebook? There are some really great wahm stores that source stuff from overseas or get them made..

**Mum2SweetCs** · September 18th, 2011, 05:47 PM

Go to ASOS!! and the clearance section. I checked out their dresses and soo many cheap beautiful mat clothes for sooo cheap. Free postage too!

**Mumtastic** · September 18th, 2011, 05:48 PM

Lol I hope this isn't a cunning ploy by Kmart to boost their sales!

**Ahurani** · September 18th, 2011, 05:50 PM

I went today and they had stuff all left

**Amaunet** · September 18th, 2011, 06:12 PM

Thanks M2B, still no tshirts (except a sick pale pink colour) on ASOS

**Liviam** · September 18th, 2011, 08:22 PM
