    Question Maternity Work Clothes??

    Hi there,

    ok ladies - hit me with your fave places to get maternity work wear.

    more of the suits and shirts and tops than skirts and dresses and wraps.

    where do you love any why?

    thanks!

    Ripe. Pricey (or not cheap, depending on how you look at it), but I got one pair full price and one on sale so it wasn't too bad. I think they are around $80-90 maybe for a pair. Stil less than what I pay for normal suit pants. But they are good quality and comfy. Mine did me two of my pregnancies, now my sister's SIL (as you know ) and soon they will boomerang back to me. Or I'll go buy some more. Haven't quite decided

    Otherwise, online check out "Divine Maternity" (its one of my pages that I like on FB, or just do a search) - its one of the member's on here, she's got a couple of pairs on there that I was eyeing off.

    Ripe also have lovely shirts but I was never a fan - I prefer the stretchy tops that grow with you. Shirts seem to big to begin with, then too small! But they have also got very nice tops - again I bought on sale. Pumpkin Patch tops are nice too. My corporate maternity wardrobe is Ripe and PP.

    i'm not sure where you are in melbourne but i found a few things at preggi central last time round (they're in seaford). other than that, mine pretty much all came from PP - no suits as such but i got pants that were suitable for work & quite a few tops.

    Hit up overseas sites, all their spring/summer stuff is on sale. I just got some beautiful work dresses and dressy tops from ASOS and casual weekend things from Gap and Old Navy for really cheap. ASOS is free shipping and arrived in five days, including a weekend! Everything fits great but they do take returns.

    Also try the maternity collections at Next Clothing, New Look and TopShop. Next and New Look have lovely corporate wear including collared shirts and slim black pants/capris.

    Locally, Bumpbabyandbeyond and Angel Maternity are great.

    I got mine at pumpkin patch especially the Harbour town clearence centre and Target. Target actually has a great range these days, so much more when I was preg with DS2 compared to DS1 and there is not that much gap!
