    ive always liked pumpkin patch maternity...try them online too, they have great outlet store.

    I also found spending a bit more on mat tops paid off so to speak. I bought 3 or 4 tops, spent a bit more, wore them to death, yet i could still pass them onto someone else, or save them should we have another....

    Hear hear!

    My sister bought some good quality stuff from Ripe and Pumpkin Patch and some stuff from Kmart/Target. The Ripe/PP stuff she has now handed on to me but the other stuff has fallen apart a bit!

    Also - she has handed on her maternity jeans - I scoffed at her at the time, she paid over $100 for them, but they have lasted and now they look great on me!!!!

    Gotta love having a sister who was pg just before you who's roughly the same size

    With the trends at the moment I just tended to buy 'normal' (not maternity) but flowy empire style etc tops from Target and the usual stores. Much cheaper.

    HOWEVER, there's a great store in Mt Evelyn called Beautiful Bellies that I did buy quite a few things from, and they were so much more cheaper than all the other maternity stores I looked at and the things were just as nice if not nicer in some instances! They have a great selection of both casual and dressy and the ladies there are very helpful and sweet.

    Beautiful Bellies have a website with their stock on, but there's more in the store and it's constantly changing which is nice. Highly recommended! Beautiful Bellies. Maternity Wear

    Just buy flowing non maternity tops. There's heaps of them around. I used to wear a lot of flowing tops before getting pregnant and managed to wear some of them through most of the pregnancy. Once I got towards the end I mostly wore the stretchy tshirt kind as they were the most comfy plus I wanted to show my bump off, whereas I looked a bit like a whale in the flowy kind due to having large boobs.

    Beautiful Bellies is my FAVOURITE store now.

    Their prices are fantastic. I bought a pair of really nice black work pants last week for $29.00, two tops for $19.50 each and a pair of jeans for $55.00.

    Also once you make a purchase you get a VIP card which entitles you to 10% off each purchase you make.

    Do you have the shop TEMT in NSW?? I was there the other day and they have the most gorgeous tops that are reasonably priced and lots can be worn during pregnancy. I bought one for a hens night I am going to this weekend and it only cost me $15! Good luck!
