Maternity clothes are ugly

It depends where it’s from. Shein have cute maternity clothes. The other shops are either too corporate, too frumpy/ugly, or size 8 is too big for me. I find cute maternity clothes on Shein and Boohoo and Pretty little things in their maternity section. I didn’t like sizing up coz then it’s too loose in my shoulders.

I could never find cute maternity clothing, I also just size up.

@Kellie I used to love buying clothes from Shein, especially because I’m quite petite and they have so many options for smaller frames that are actually true to size. Since I heard they’re unregulated and contain high levels of chemicals, poisons and exceed heavy metal limits it’s really put me off them! They also have the cutest baby clothes but again, don’t wanna risk it! I’ll check out PLT and bohoo for sure, didn’t know they also did maternity clothes. Ps. Despite my big bump, luckily most of my tops are stretchy and still fit me, but with some my belly sticks out like Whinny the Pooh! 😂

@Farinaz dress shops at my mall have the exact same dresses as shein for 4-5* the price. I bought a dress in store at my mall for a wedding once and it costed me $80, I saw the same dress a couple weeks later on shein for $20. So dress shops basically buy it in bulk from places like that (dropshipping) and put their prices on it. I’m not getting ripped off like that again. My whole wardrobe is from Shein and it’s cute and affordable and have the styles that I actually like, not frumpy. Takes the headaches away of buying cute maternity clothes or normal dresses for me. I don’t buy baby clothes on there only for me.

@Kristy I agree, the ones I’ve seen are so ugly especially the low waisted trousers with the pull up stretchy cloths! Dresses are my besties right now with summer coming up. I seem to be getting away with getting slightly baggy ones (still in small sizes) with the waist string straps that I can just adjust or small sizes but with stretchy material! Very flattering on the bump! Idea is they should still fit after the bump goes, so it won’t be a waste of money!🤞🏼

@Kellie UK laws should mean that clothes are tested and don’t exceed certain regulatory standards for toxic metals etc. but honestly so many major brands like H&M also have their clothes made in China with cheap labour and materials so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all the same stuff! I would assume washing them off in high temperatures first would alleviate a lot of the crap too. Ngl, I love my Shein clothes they fit like a glove and look so much nicer than most other clothes from major retailers I’ve purchased over the years, just scared as I’ve heard so much online!

I bought maternity dress for my baby shower and it was HIDEOUS so I didn’t end up wearing it and I cried lol

@Becky This 😂

I was lucky and didn’t even have to buy any new clothes other than a few for work as I work in a secondary school and lived in jumpsuits from 20 weeks lol, I Wud just buy things a size up or up a few my last pregnancy though where I carried twice as big xx

@Millie I’ve spent so much already, I love the way my bump looks in clothes! Yeah slightly bigger unless they have stretch or I can get away with getting smalls that I can just adjust!

I’ve only bought mat leggings and trousers. The rest I’m buying as usual for tops that are a bit flowy x

I haven’t bought any maternity clothes and I’m 32 weeks now! I’ve just been wearing things with stretch. The reoria dresses from Amazon and amazing and then I’ve got a lot of stuff from SHEIN too xx
