Where can i find good maternity clothes????

[Alyssas_Mum]

I live in Hallam and i've heard of Molly's Maternity but can never find it. Will go for a drive and see what i can find.
I typed in the maternity jeans and got some place in the back of babyco. Went in and she says she has a pair on order that are low rise and flare a bit on the bottom so she's gonna call when they come in so i can go try them on. Not\ commitment to buy which is a good thing cause they are almost $100, i'm so gonna make sure i get some good wear outa of em if i do get them, i find it really hard to justify spending so much on jeans, especially when the ones i wear now only cost me $35-$40 and they are soooooooooo comfy. Fit like a glove.

Anyways i'll let you all know how i go. Gonna try and get down the shops soon, not as easy when i've gotta take a 3.5yr old though who gets bored easily :S

Do you have a pumpkin patch clearance store in VIC, maybe at DFO? We have one just around the corner from my house, great prices there!

I really didn't buy many specifically maternity clothes - just one pair of work pants from Target which were never going to win any fashion awards but were darn comfy! And I think a shirt that was longer at the front to accommodate a bump.

Other than that I lived in anything that was cotton jersey/stretchy wool. So lots of sweater/wrap dresses with leggings underneath (cheap leggings I found were better because they were stretchier - my Kmart ones were my fave). And Bonds/Wyse stretchy pants for casual. Oh, and skirts with elasticated waists. I always have a horror time buying jeans at the best of times so didn't bother.

A few people said they liked what I wore when I was pregnant better than when I wasn't!

And although I bought some fairly expensive stuff - like Witchery, Cue etc. I'm going to wear all that stuff this season too even though I've lost all my pregnancy weight and more. So my tip is just buy stretchy stuff. We're lucky that this season's (and last season's) fashions means there's heaps out there so you don't need to waste money on stuff you'll only wear when pregnant.

You're in Sydney Catrionalee? Where is it?????? Is it also baby / kids stuff or just maternity. You've got me excited!

Yep, I just bought some jeans from Target today which are really comfy - I am not a big belly band fan, but these are comfy - spent $40 instead of $80 at PumpkinPatch ... but PP's pants and jeans are my favourites .....

Tops weren't much though ...

Try Pea in a Pod Maternity factory outlet on Johnston St, Collingwood (just off Punt rd). You can try the clothes on AND get some good bargains at the same time

I went to Maternity Works and Motherhood Maternity in Ormond (both on North Rd near train station) yesterday. Got great work pants (black, grey etc) for $39 which I thought was ok, and a black tunic top from the other store. A friend of of mine paid ~$80-$90 for work pants at Pea in a Pod factory outlet... so I'd recommend Ormond

Didn't find any jeans I liked tho.

I found Mollies Maternity address for you 1/9 Hammel Court Hallam - as I said it's off Hallam Rd. Melway Ref 96F1. I went past a couple of weeks ago and they were still there then but were closed cos it was Sunday. The website I found said they are open Thurs - Sat 11 to 3 - not sure if that's current though. I remember they had heaps of jeans there and they were all well under $100.

Jeans West just got in beautiful Maternity jeans, skinny leg and boot cut! I'm in love! They are stretchy, and have a belly band thing, and are the most comfiest jeans! They have a deal atm too, 2 for $99!

You can do phone orders also if you don't live near a store, they are really big, and go up to a size 18, and small as an 8!

Again, Pumpkin patch. I live in these jeans, they have the elastic belly band attached to the top which I wore over the bump in the earlier days, now I fold it down under the bump, they look like regular jeans, but they are pull up, no buttons or fly to fuss around with. Also bonds maternity underwear is a godsend, so comfortable! Other than that I have found that anything stretchy is good and a pair of black maternity leggings is essential - again pumpkin patch. I would die with out that store.

I live in Hallam and i've heard of Molly's Maternity but can never find it.

Possibly because they were closing down. They contacted me to buy stock off them for my maternity store but i never got to see them.
