Also another vote for Target. My other suggestion is to buy a few maxi dresses - the ones with a lot of volume to them anyway, not the fitted column shaped kind. You can wear a forgiving maxi dress well into the&nbsp;later months with various cardigans, cropped sweatshirts, swing jackets, etc over top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041499 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:50:33 +0000 abc 1041499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Budget friendly: target, old navy </p> <p>Sizing: yes you buy your normal size, they've built it to fit you while you're preggers - but of course you have to try on and size up/down as needed </p> <p>Dressy: yes! They do make nicer stuff. I bought a beautiful sequin sheath and wore it with a black satin bolero while ~8 mo preg, so dressy while prego can definitely be done. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041470 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 00:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1041470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! Recently the Wall Street Journal had an article called Baby Bump Without the Frump interview with Ivanka Trump. Basically it said to avoid maternity clothes and wear regular stretchy skirts and tops with length for as long as possible and wear a blazer for polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041447 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:11:41 +0000 annagybe 1041447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen cute maternity stuff at Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041441 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:03:33 +0000 Anonymous 1041441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! I ended up putting on weight differently both pregnancies, but the main area was just in my abdomen. You might find you don't feel your legs are too thin any more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041437 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:54:02 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1041437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!&nbsp; You will have ready and willing babysitters.</p> <p>I wore non-maternity clothing for a lot of my pregnancy. Banded tops were quite good, also long line tops, which just gradually got longer.</p> <p>I found that a lot of maternity wear presumed that I would put on weight all over my body, rather than just belly and bust, therefore ended up being too big say across the shoulders or on the bottom. I did size down in a lot of maternity wear.</p> <p>I found the H&amp;M maternity line pretty good and also Asos.com has a good maternity range, and is very reasonably priced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear-ideas-please#post-1041356 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:00:45 +0000 shaz 1041356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So just as i was starting to figure out my shape it goes and changes lol, So does anyone know anywhere budget friendly for maternity wear? &nbsp;how do the sizes work do you just buy your regular size and it stretches with you i cant remember my youngest is 15 and oldest 18&nbsp;gasp some age difference.
