help! i need something to wear xmas day
hi girls,
wondered if anyone has seen any nice maternity trousers any where that aren't basic black stretch trousers! :roll:
I've got a lunch to go to in December and of course there is Christmas day and I want something smart to wear. All my 'smart' non-work trousers getting a bit tight (I'm about 11 1/2 weeks) so by Christmas I'll be really struggling! I dont want to buy regular trousers cos i wont get too much wear out of them so ideal to get some maternity trousers. Have done a bit of an internet shop and everyone seams to stock jeans or black trousers! (I wear black trousers a lot at work so i'm a bit loathe to wear them on my time off).
Anyone seen any nice daytime smart (but not workwear) kind of trousers/outifts that would be suitable for someone around 13-15 weeks? All suggestions welcome! Budget not too important - as long as i find something nice!
Thanks,
ps - my legs aren't exactly long and they're a bit 'curvy' round the thighs so sexy skinny leg trousers ruled out

All the trousers I've got so far are combats which is better for me cos I'm NOT the dressing-up type but H&M has some great maternity clothes, as does dotty p. x x x
Keep the suggestions coming - desperately seeking trousers that are smart and not black!
p.s Red Herring at Debenhams had some lovely crops in the other week....they were black though im afraid!
re: your clothing dilemma listef - you could get some bump bands which mean you can wear your regular clothes for longer. i think someone posted on hear that topshop do them.
I work in an office too so hate wearing black pants, but i generally think if your top is glam enough they wont look anything like work pants! Red Herring would prob be good for your 'curvy thighs' as the sizes are quite generous.
good luck with clothes shoppig at this time of year chick!

Try New Look. Obviously depending on the size of your local store they generally have a good selection. I brought a couple of Christmas outfits recently from there and picked up some real bargains.
Good luck

I'm having the same problem, really don't feel myself and want to look a bit smart for Christmas! I'm abaout the same as you, nearly16 weeks. I bought my christmas party dress from Picchumaternity.com (apparently Myleen Klass got her stuff from there - and she looked gorgeous!) They have a few bits on there for various occasions, mine is a cocktail dress and was ??65 but they have all kinds on there. Good luck x
thanks also for the tip on picchu maternity - i hadn't come accross them before and they have some very nice bits and pieces; i'll definitely look again there when i'm a bit bigger and need to buy more stuff.
I think on-line is definitely the way to go, Next and Topshop too. Glad you found something you wanted in the end xx
