Where's the best place to get maternity clothes?

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I just realized that my maternity stuff from last time won't work (I was 30+ pounds heavier). Last time a friend just dumped a huge bag of stuff at my feet and told me I could have whatever I wanted... which was great, but now I'm much smaller and the items fall off of me. So, now I need to buy some stuff and I hate spending money on things that I'll just wear just a few months... and I'm a SAHM so I don't really have much of a fashion sense. Where's the best place to buy maternity clothes?

if you wanna buy try resale stores. truely friends are a better source- someone probably knows how to sew and can take-in/let-out clothes.

try www.thetriftshopper.com they list the not for profits in most areas. if you find one nearby ask the employees, they can usually give you a list of others in the area.

also a lot of churches have a basement full of donations they keep around for people in need. be prepared to make a donation.

My wife is tall and found that Target was the best place to get stuff on the cheap in the stores and Old Navy for online. We donated her maternity stuff afterwards to local Goodwill stores, so there's always that too.

I got a bunch of things from Motherhood Maternity. Their normal prices are high, but sale/clearance are ok. I did not want to buy a bunch of things I only needed to wear for a few months either, so durability is important. I also liked that the staff helped me put together outfits that coordinate.

Check Amazon as they have a bunch of MM stuff on sale- stop by a store to get your correct size then buy online.

Target is a good place to check. Walmart has cheap things, but it does not hold up imo. Resale shops might have something, but the cost may not be so great compared to new & not stretched out.

One thing I got this time was the belly bands & fasteners for jeans that allow you have them open some, but covered. It depends on how you carry, but I have been able to stay in my normal jeans/pants this way for long while.

Another trick is to get the shirt.woot randoms. I just get a mens size and afterwards, they can be sleep shirts or for hubby.

There is a JC Penney Outlet Store were I live. Their stuff is cheap, and good quality. My wife got most of her stuff there.

I just heard about a new website that rents maternity clothing: www.fashionforwardmaternity.com. They carry some of the top designers, like Seraphine, Maternal America, Olian, and lots more, and you can rent on a monthly basis, as much or as little as you want. Can't wait to try this out when I need it!

I suggest buying your maternity, nursing and even baby clothes from It's A Miracle Maternity (www.itsamiraclematernity.com). I just found it a few days ago and was impressed by the prices and brands not to mention they support maternal health charities. The only issue is that for most styles, there is only one size since they are resale & consignment- but they have a wide range of stuff that's affordable...especially if you are looking for designer labels. The thing I also like is that I can sell my maternity & baby clothes to them when I'm done with babies so I can make some cash. Hope this info helps!

That's a hard question to answer without knowing you or your needs/wants. Not everyplace carries plus sizes, some are too expensive, others need things for work.

I would recommend checking out the maternity store locator on Everything Maternal http://www.everythingmaternal.com. There you can browse the options that you have in your town.

Some examples of the stores that you will find on the maternity clothes locator at Everything Maternal are:
-Consignment stores are a great option for those on a budget.
-Motherhood has a great selection for plus sizes.
-Forever 21 is the best bet for someone looking for trendy, young maternity clothing.
-A Pea in a Pod is a great option for professional maternity wear.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
