OK, I am going to go off on a little rant here. I hate maternity clothes. Not just a little, not just "oh I don't care for them" I hate them! First of all, why are all of the "affordable" ones so ugly? I am gaining a ton of weight, I need my clothes to help me feel cute. And people always tell me oh, go to motherhood maternity or this other place or wherever. OK, first, their stuff isn't any cuter, second it is not affordable for me to buy a shirt for $40 that will fit me for maybe 3 mos. I am sorry, call me cheap but that is just silly to me. I have found stuff I like, but it costs upwards of $80! Are they serious? OK, so it is overpriced and ugly but that is not the worst of it! Does it ever fit anyone? No, really, does it? It either cuts into me somewhere or never stays up, or both. And I am uncomfortable enough without my butt hanging out of my pants all day! And the shirts are always too short and wide. So we have ugly shirts and poorly fitted pants. They seriously stress me out to wear. That is why I mostly refuse to wear them. I have invested in a lot of stretchy tops and summer dresses and stretchy leggings and short leggings. And if my stomach hangs out a bit, well so be it. It is the only time it will be acceptable for a grown mother of almost 3 to bear her midriff!
Totally with you on the prices for maternity clothes! I don't pay that much for normal clothes let alone clothes I will only get to wear a few months! I had better luck just buying shirts a few sizes bigger than normal and lots of gauchos and knit shorts!
