Recent special occasion - the only nice dress I could find that would fit was yep - you guessed it, a maternity dress. Lucky for me, maternity clothes these days are quite fashionable. (Wouldn't want to be turning up to a family wedding in a tent with a big neck tie bow now would I - but tempting if that was the only thing that fitted.)

I just can't get normal dress to fit, but the cut of maternity clothes is brilliant - no waistline, small pleats to hide the belly. I still haven't found my waist post baby #2 and well, let's face it everything is even more stretched and saggy second time around.

Problems is I really need some new clothes again - just normal everyday clothes - would like a dress - where am I going to go? The local maternity shop is tempting - nice things in there - but it is a bit embarrassing when you are not UTD.

Am I the only one who still needs maternity clothes?
