Nice maternity clothes Post Reply

Can anyone recommend where to get nice decent quality maternity clothes? I find a lot of shops no longer stock a maternity range and a lot of what is available is frumpy and fairly flimsy. Any good suggestions?

There are quite a few shops along northcote road I think, particularly for special occasions....shops like blooming marvellous and pretty pregnant.

For day to day stuff, H&M is pretty good (though their range seems to have reduced recently...still, they do stock some clothes in Southside shopping centre).

Nice maternity clothes? What high expectations you have my dear!!

Anyway, here is my list of suggestions....

M&S do a small range (marble arch store best bet or some online). I bought a couple of wrap dresses which saw me through my last pregnancy. With a pair of heels and a bit of red lippy you might almost feel stylish! Also marvellous maternity tights that come over your bump, absolute godsend.

Asos.com - not necessarily best quality but more fashion led than most

H&M - store on oxford st near bond st tube has the biggest range in stock. Good for black trousers/ smart shirts... worky stuff

Jojo's on northcote road. Fair quality and quite a good range of optoins although I think quite a lof of it is a bit old/ frumpy

Topshop - online and oxford circus. Good jeans.

Isabella oliver - if I had the cash I would shop here. Very good for occasion dresses (wedding, xmas do etc) and generally very stylish... but I resent spending £££ on maternity clothes!!!

Pretty pregnant - northcote road - ok but a bit frumpy

Am pregnant with number 2 now and have decided that my uniform this winter will consist of leggings and knee high boots, vest top with long bum/ thigh covering cardi or knitted tunic. If you look really hard you can do this using 'norma;' clothes from the high st!!

Good luck!

Try Seraphine, they have a shop on Kensington Church Street (and website) - great stuff and very reasonably priced.

And there's Gap too. Not sure all stores do maternity though ?

Boden have (fairly) recently launched a maternity range too.

And I always found Next (online) to be pretty good...

Try Esprit online - I found it good quality and not too expensive and easy to return etc.

For occasions there is Tiffany Rose. Website only. Beautiful dresses and trousers, excellent quality bonus all clothes are made in the UK. Very stylish. Their customer service and delivery is top too. Bought my wedding dress there while pregnant with #2. Were happy to exchange last minute in case it would not fit anymore!

Gap is great - reasonably priced and in my experience the only maternity jeans that stayed up! Kings Road have a good section.
Topshop (online) also tends to have some nice and more fashionable bits.
Also, it's worth popping into FARA every now and then.
