Maternity clothes in Perth

[LuluHB]

Does anyone know any maternity shops in Perth? I know there are some in Subiaco, but was in there a couple of weeks ago and nothing grabbed me at the time. I have to go to my DH's grandmother's funeral on Friday and then dinner with the family after, so really need a decent shirt or something to wear with some black pants I've got. Don't think the tshirts I've been living in from Big W really cut it

Need a "real" shop rather than online because it will never get to me in time.

Thanks.

Lulu a few baby shops have maternity ranges. I think mothercare does in Cannington. Otherwise does it have to be maternity or a nice empire line top or tunic or something?

There is a Materinity shop inside Karrinup Shopping centre. There is also shop on Joondalup drive between Ocean Reef rd and Hodges drive. I can't remember the names though. Pumpkin Patch has a small range of materninty clothing. Target might have something middle of the range.

Mothercare does some decent maternity wear, Room for 2 is the one I'd recommend in Subi though can be a little pricey. Ladies in Waiting is on Albany Hwy in East Vic Park, though I haven't checked them out myself.

Ladylove - thanks. Will check them out. I had a really quick look at "normal" clothes on Saturday but will have a better look today. I think I'm going to have a boob issue though unless I maybe go to a plus size store?

Rumpletease - are you thinking of Mother & Me? During pregnancies with DDs 1 and 2 I lived in their clothes but they went bust about a year ago I think. Very disappointed cos they had a good range and not too bad a price.

CK - Room for 2 and Ripe are where I was a couple of weeks ago. She did say she was getting more stuff in, but its going to be winter stuff and I think they're forecasting 26 for Friday so I'll fry. Will check out Ladies in Waiting when I go to Ladylove's store.

Grrr. Really not happy about buying something I know I'll probably only wear once too, but just don't feel right going to the poor old thing's funeral in a tshirt Thanks everyone.

Boho Mamma have some stalls around now too, there was one at ****burn and Rockingham shopping centres for a while, should be able to find them on their website.

Boho Mama was at Baldivis Shopping Centre a few days ago when I was there.

Thanks LimeSlice and Amy_jellybean. Will check them out.

Can you sew, LuluHB? I just made a dead easy, but fairly nice top which I was able to tailor to fit my excessively large bust, and would be more than happy to lend you the pattern and explain the modifications I made. I'm about 7km north of the city. PM me if you're interested. Or... for a reasonable price, and you choosing and buying the the fabric, I could maybe sew it for you???

[LuluHB]

Me sew??? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . .

That is an incredibly kind offer of you Pholi. Thank you very much. I've actually found something - yay!! Went out this afternoon and got a tunic sort of thingy that I can wear with the trousers I've already got. Only cost $29 on sale so I'm pretty happy.

Thanks again everybody.

Glad you found something that you're happy with! Which shop was it, by the way?

[LimeSlice]

Oh, the most gorgeous maternity top I got was from Pumpkin Patch! Some of their things are really lovely.

Glad you found something!

I'm not sure what the shop is called Pholi. Its a little one (normal clothes, not maternity) at Whitfords just near Target. Its never very expensive, but with end of season stuff the shirt was a bargain.
