Plus Size Maternity Wear

(x-posted from my Tumblr)

Reader Question: Just wondering if you had any suggestions for plus size maternity clothing? I'm going nuts trying to find something nice!

 
I’m glad you asked! I’m a plus sized fashion ADDICT and being pregnant did nothing to squash my need to be fashionable! Of course, comfort is #1…but that doesn’t mean you can’t look cute too!


I got some pregnancy jeans at Old Navy, though they’ve since (quietly and unexpectedly) discontinued their plus size maternity line…Check your measurements against their charts, though…as a size 24/26 (traditionally a 3x/4x), I still fit into their “straight” size XXL shirts. Bottoms are a bit trickier.


Torrid had a maternity line for exactly ONE season…it’s just as well, everything in the line was hideous…but again, I would look for baby doll, empire waist or otherwise flowy tops and either buy my size or a size up to ensure comfort.


The MECCA though, is Motherhood Maternity. I got pants, shorts, leggings, tops, undies, even swimwear there during my pregnancy and I was extremely happy with every single thing I purchased! I LIVED in their jeans and leggings.


To be honest, most days I wore maxi dresses which don’t have to be purchased as maternity wear, a life saver since maternity clothes tend to be expensive.


Hope that helps, and if anyone has any other suggestions for flattering plus size maternity clothes, please let me know! Anything that won’t break the bank is a PLUS! ;)

off topic, but isn't this ADORABLE?!

IT'S LIKE THE ARTIST WAS LOOKING THROUGH ONE OF OUR WINDOWS!

I loved this!!!! It reminds me of my cat Brady, and our dog, Pig. I define them in those terms because my husband insists so LOL I had Brady since before I met him (Brady is 8 years old) and we got Pig (who is 3) together, so he likes to say that Brady is his stepson. He upsets me greatly when he starts talking like that, but it is what it is, right? ;)

For good measure, I'd like to introduce you to both Brady and Pig, and apologize in advance for the lack of make-up in both these photos :)

Pig claiming me for Pigdom...he has a talent for finding all your soft spots/organs with his very heavy little paws

And here's Brady with me...he fancies himself half parrot or something, because he loves hanging out on peoples shoulders, even when they're standing!
