I currently rock 3 people’s maternity wardrobes in addition to my own. With my first pregnancy, I had 2 other friends’ things! So I think that saves a lot of money. And I have at least half a dozen dresses to choose from for nicer events! I know it’s tough for you since you just moved but I have even shipped/been shipped maternity clothes. Even if you spend $20 on the shipping, you might squeeze in 20 items! I get compliments on a lot of the clothes and give credit where credit is due … And when I’m done with this pregnancy, I’ll be offering my clothes up again. So far only my sister and SIL have used them but I hope they will get more use elsewhere! Hopefully you can loan yours out if you have friends you trust – and if you want to have more kids, you will wear them again! (Nothing against maxi dresses, of course. You look cute in the pic! They personally aren’t my style, though … and I feel/look ridiculous in most non-maternity stuff at this point!)

Show me a maxi dress that doesn’t have a plunging neckline and can support a bra and I might be on board. Alas, without this, if you are well endowed these are not dresses made for all. There isn’t a maxi-dress in the world that has a boob pocket big enough for a DD woman that doesn’t want to show her cleavage. Your strapless/spaghetti strapped examples prove the point. However – you look fabulous and have a body fit for the style. I’m definitely green with envy.

You look so beautiful in the picture! However, I have to agree with Rebecca, I bought a couple of maxi dresses but I wouldn’t be comfortable wearing them anywhere other than around my own house. I’ve grown from a C to a D and this new bigger cleavage is almost as weird as this new baby bump! Don’t stress too much about spending on a new wardrobe, I’ve bought a handful of tee’s, tanks, skirts, and pants that I wear over and over and over. It was weird at first wearing basically the same 5 or 6 outfits to work every week, but pregnant girls can get away with that. The only downside is I find I’m doing laundry much more often because I don’t have an entire closet full of options!

You look lovely! I wish I could wear maxi dresses, but at only 5′-2″, they don’t work for me. Sigh.

Tragically, the short people among us can’t work the maxi dress. Which is tragic, because if I could have, that’s all I would have purchased.

I’m 5’1 and I rock maxi dresses! In fact, I wore one yesterday and got a ton of compliments…it can be done ladies! Just find a good tailor, or a good pair of scissors!

If only they made maxi dresses with sleeves! Super cute :)

Pre-pregnancy I had DD boobs, and I have two Maxi dresses! All you have to do is put a cami underneath and then you don’t have to worry about the plunging necklines! It looks fine and the dresses are totally worth it! Come on ladies lets think a little out the box here!

One thing that I totally didn’t think of while I was pregnant is that for dresses to be nursing friendly, they need “access” – think buttons down the front, a wrap front, or a stretchy neckline. Especially if you’re nursing for a full year, it’ll be awhile before you get back into those regular dresses! Even when I’m pumping at work, I can’t wear regular dresses. Although it is nice to wear clothes that I didn’t wear while I was pregnant so there’s no mistaking it.
