i have had button up nighties from shops like peac***s, bon marche, qs shops of that sort of nature i know they aren't a normal shop for a bigger person to go in but in night wear they can be generous and i am a bigger size and find these comfy pregnant or not. i will be going back to them again for the nightwear for this baby. they usually do up to about 24/26 but as i say they are generous in size and not to costly

Hi ladies, sorry to bring this back, but does anyone know where i can get a nightie with buttons down the front for breastfeeding. I like my nightwear to be really baggy so would preferably like to buy 26/28 or 30/32. Any help would be great.
Thanks xxxxx

i tend to wear size 20 and i've got most of my maternity clothes from peac***s. they definitely do trousers up to size 20, but i would strongly recommend sitting down when trying them on cos some of their styles have really cut in around my hips when i sit down. h&m do xl sizes which are about a size 20 and very comfy. i tried new look but found nothing quite fitted right. i've managed to get by with xl t-shirts, size 18-20 maternity tops from peac***s and buying tops a few sizes bigger in asda.

Woodsies i'm the same and need a 33" inside leg at least.
I don't think shops realise us plus-size ladies can be tall too, lol. I'm finishing for maternity leave in about 5 weeks too and can't wait. I'll be two and a half weeks from my due date so hopefully won't have to wait long!

sorry to say, asda stopped doing thier maternity range early last year

I e-mailed Evans a while ago and they told me that they have stopped their maternity collection, I e-mailed back and said I thought it was a mistake for them to do so!! Next is okay but their sizes tend to be on the small side and also I am very tall and their tall leg length only goes up to a size 18, the size 20 is only available in regular which is no good for me. Obviously plus sized women aren't supposed to have long legs.
I heard Asda did a maternity range but I have never been able to find it, their "normal" clothes go up to bigger sizes and are reasonably priced too.
I got some jeans from Red Herring in size 20 from Debenhams.
I just can't wait to finish work in 5 weeks and then I can slob out in my maternity tracksuits and jumpers and not have to worry about looking smart for work!

Okay, please dont laugh but i've been finding it really hard to find a dressing gown and button down nighties for me to wear in hospital. I have looked on the Simply Be website and i think that their nighties and dressing gowns aren't sitable for hospital. Anway, this morning i've been on a website (which i think is a sister company of Simply Be) called fifty plus. Now i know i've got 26 years before i reach the big 50, but i have just found dressing gowns and nighties that will be ideal for breastfeeding and my hospital stay. They do up to size 32 and upwards i think! They are reasonably priced too
Hope this helps somebody else too xx

Hi
I asked in Evans ages ago and the woman told me they have stopped doing their maternity range
I managed to get a pair of maternity jeans from a website called bumps and beyond. I only ordered one pair and have been trying to order another but they have now ceased trading. I'm desperate for another pair. I can't fit into the Marks and spencers or next maternity wear. I have no idead why?

simplybe DID do nice maternity stuff-i had most of it and also dresses from the normal stuff. but i got a new catalogue the other day and think most of it is awful! its good as it does last all way through . i found with dorothy perkins in my first preg that it didnt last too long. same with new look x

Next and also evans online does maternity wear xx
Blooming Marvellous do some really nice maternity clothes up to size 18 and they are quite a generous fit, think Mamas and Papas go up to size 18 too but they are a bit pricey. Next go up to size 20 I think but I find their sizes quite small in comparision to other stores.
With regards to bras i am currently a 36 GG/J cup depending on the make/style of bra.I usually get all mine from Bravissimo as they usually have the best range for larger cups. However I have just recently got some nursing bras from Debenhams who stock similar ranges as Bravissimo in larger cups, they had a 70% sale on and I got a Freya and a Royce nursing bra from there and they were only about £7.00 each - bargain!!
