Default Maternity Clothes in the UK

Dorothy Perkins and Next have maternity clothes as well.

Does anyone know which high street stores sell nice (but not too

expensive)
maternity clothes in the UK? I work in London so have access to most high
street stores.

I'm not a big fan of clothes shopping over the internet as I like to try
things on before buying.

I only know of mothercare and H&M - I've only brought two items so far -
black trousers and white top..... I don't intend to spend money on loads

of
stuff but want a few more outfits that I can mix and match. I've got a few
existing loose fitting shirts and t-shirts which fit me so I do have other
things to wear that already exist in my wardrobe. I'd like smart clothes
that I can wear to work which would double up as casual wear for weekends.
Any advise?

Anika.

Dorothy Perkins and Debenhams provided most of mine. DP trousers are
particularly comfortable IMO, and Debenhams did have a lot of very nice
jersey stuff and good 'slogan' tshirts and so on. I also bought some
floaty tunics in big sizes (non-maternity) from Debenhams, Evans etc.

Blooming Marvellous, Jojomamanbebe.

I can understand that, but decided to take a risk for the few months
I'd be wearing this stuff.

I only know of mothercare and H&M - I've only brought two items so far -
black trousers and white top..... I don't intend to spend money on loads of
stuff but want a few more outfits that I can mix and match. I've got a few
existing loose fitting shirts and t-shirts which fit me so I do have other
things to wear that already exist in my wardrobe. I'd like smart clothes
that I can wear to work which would double up as casual wear for weekends.

Google for websites like Blooming Marvellous and Jojo, Verbaudet etc,
and see if they have actual shops near you, so you can go and try
things on. Oh, looking at ebay I get the impression that Dorothy
Perkins and Next do maternity too, if that's any help.

There's a New Zealand chain of shops called Pumpkin Patch and I know they
have stores in the UK. They do kids clothes and maternity.

www.pumpkinpatch.co.uk (or .co.nz .co.au for those two
countries spring summer ranges)

I've just been looking at the new NZ spring collection
preview (and buying up large for Lydia) and it makes me want
to be pregnant again...lol

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

I got quite a few bits from John Lewis. They do longer length trousers
(which Next and Blooming M didn't...though maybe that's changed now).

I'd like smart clothes
that I can wear to work which would double up as casual wear for weekends.
Any advise?


Again, John Lewis server me well. I got some smart trousers and skirts,
but casual enough for w/e's too.

They always have such cute girls stuff. I've seen a few boys things that I
have my eye on though :-)

Pregnant again eh? You'll be in the Guiness book of records if you don't
watch out ;-)
