We will be going to Melbourne this weekend and I was hoping to find some nice maternity wear (corporate style). Is there anywhere in the CBD that's worth looking at?
Ripe at Australia on Collins is where I used to get a lot of my maternity from. They have good corporate stuff. Also try Pumpkin Patch, I think there is both a normal retail shop plus also an outlet for reduced stock, in the Bourke St Mall.
Not CBD but just saw an advert on FB for Soon Maternity which is opening in Prahran so not far out 10 mins on train perhaps. Is offering 10% off to FB likers. No idea what stuff is like though. Like OP says Ripe and Pumpkin patch had reasonable stuff. For corporate trousers I got away with wearing normal ones and using hairband through button hole and round button just with a slightly longer top and belly band.
I like metalicus (melb central and GPO) which isn't strictly maternity but is stretchy and is the only maternity gear I wear. It can be expensive so go to the sale rack!
Sneaking in...I'm not in Melbourne anymore but second metalicus. And their sales! I wore heaps throughout my pregnancy with DD and the clothes keep their shape despite bulging bellies and boobs etc.
