maternity swimsuit

I have been all over the web this morning looking for a decent place to buy maternity clothes. And I'm sorry but a $50 swimsuit is not cheap! I just need a few things to get me through the summer months, and we are strapped for cash. Any ideas?

I have had awesome luck at Target, they have adorable maternity clothing and it won't break the bank, I spent about $200 and got an entire mix and match wardrobe out of it. Old Navy is even getting a bit expensive for maternity clothes, come on you really only wear them like 6 months at the most! I have honestly had the best luck with ebay, because if you follow up on your bids you can get adorable clothing CHEAP. I spent no more than $20 including shipping and handling on all the clothes I purchased thru ebay, and found a ton of awesome independent sellers who have adorable clothing for usually around $10 for shirts and $20 for pants. Also for a $30 investment, buy a Bella Band. You put it over the top of your old pre-baby pants and it hides the zippers and buttons but looks like a lacy undershirt. Throw a tank top or shirt over it and presto, all your pants "fit"!!!

Old Navy sells a lot of large size clothes with long shirts that are perfect for a growing belly. Try Motherhood Maternity. You can go online and find it...google the name. The store itself is cheap on the clearance rack. I bought a $9 dress and $15 jeans. Online, I bought a skirt, shirt and pair of pants for $35 total.

Also try Target, its a little bit more pricey, but they do have really cute stuff. You might need some actual maternity shirts because they are formed to fit the stomach and regular shirts can rise up with your belly as you get to the end of your pregnancy. Believe me, your tummy will grow tremendously!

If all else fails, buy shirts a size larger than you normally wear and pants/skirts/shorts with elastic. You can get away with that without needing a whole lot of maternity clothes. And right now babydoll shirts are definitely in. So we're a whole lot luckier than 1980 when they wore big flowered shirts and ribbons.

And for those clothes you buy that aren't maternity, you can have them tailored to fit you after baby arrives!

old navy!!!!

I have always gotten my maternity clothes at used places..... most of the time you can go to a used child clothing place and they will have maternity clothes.... but i have also found some really great deals at Motherhood Maternity- in the clearance section.... they should have some clearance clothing that you would be able to wear during the summer.... but overall their clothes are not that expensive if you find the time to go through all the clothes on the racks.

Motherhood Maternity! I bought 3 pairs of pants, 1 pair of excersize pants, 3 nice shirts, a new bra, and the pregnancy sleeve all for $115!!! I love that store and they have very nice clothes. The women there also know all about maternity clothes which was a huge help!

YOU SHOULD EITHER GO TO THE GOODWILL OR GO TO OLD NAVY THEY HAVE REALLY CHEAP CLOTHES

i just went to the goodwill today and they had a ton of cute maternity clothes. how about ebay? sales racks at department stores like target, kmart, walmart, burlington coat factory

Old Navy, or try EBay, or www.Craigslist.com - People in your local cities selling used but good condition items, sometimes you can find something you like free. You can usually go down on the price if you let them know your situation.

Hope this helps!

My advice would be to not buy maternity shirts. With the current fashion, loose shirts are in style anyways, so just buy regular shirts that are a size big or something. As for pants, JC Penny, H&M, and Gap have good pants to buy. They are relatively cheap also, but it is rare to find pants on sale, unfortunately. As for a a swim suit, check out Target. Also, if you can't afford pants that aren't on sale (they can be like $40), buy pants that are one size larger and have a larger waist than most pants. You know how styles are different, there are a lot of pants that have slim waists and others with wider waists. My advice would be to check out the style of pants and just buy one size up instead of spending money on maternity pants.

Go to a second-hand store. I know Once Upon a Child sells gently used maternity clothing. Also you can usually find good sells at Old Navy and sometimes Target.

Burlington has good prices on all clothes you could check it out! I know they have a maternity section!
