    Maternity clothes??? Where are all the nice but reasonably cheap ones???

    I need clothes for work that are office attire but can be a casual office attire.
    They are a little strict - no 3/4 pants, singlets, shorts, I have to ask about tights under dresses.
    I don't want to spend a fortune as i won't get to wear them for long.
    Where did you find nice but reasonably cheap ones???????

    I have couple pair of very comfy black pants from Target. One pair folds down at top, the other pair (i got from a mate) have a V shape at the front that goes under bump. The second pair, you have to be bit more careful about having longer tops.

    Comfy and they wash well and dry pretty quick so good for work without too much hassle.

    Have you got a DFO near you? The pumpkin patch outlet has some great bargains and they have corporate style maternity wear.

    Kmart and target have some nice stuff. Alot of the fashion stuff (not actual maternity clothes) now is suitable to wear with a bump.

    Where abouts are you? I know there is a really cheap independant shop in mount evelyn(victoria) that have business attire and casual attire for all occasions at only $10 - $30 a peice. It's a small town.. if there are more out there like this then you'd be in luck!!

    Thanks girls. Have been keeping an eye out for stuff i like. Maybe it's just me. I'm not really into any of the fashions at the moment, let alone what i've seen maternity wise.
    Whats with everything being with prints???? Work has agree to tights with dresses so on the look out for these type of things now

    I bought a few things at Millers - not maternity clothes but larger size clothes. I paid $30 for a nice pair of dress pants which I wore from 5 to 9 months with 1st pregnancy and for this pregnancy I bought a beautiful lined skirt that I have been wearing the last two months - that was $30 too.

    not sure if anyone has suggested this already as I havent read through all the posts but have you tried "freecycle"? (Google it, there should be one for your area)
    People put things on there they dont want anymore & its all free. You can also post "wanted" but I think you have to "offer" something before you're allowed to ask for something... you can offer ANYTHING you dont use anymore

    I hope I've helped & good luck hun
