Inexpensive maternity clothes

[mintycat]

With my first, I spent money on some ugly maternity clothes that I never even wore much. With the trends gearing towards billowy blouses, empire waists, loose fitting knit tops etc, I'd rather buy normal clothes (maybe even in a bigger size) so I can wear them again. The only things you really need in maternity are pants and jeans. But I bought some pants from Zara on sale ($300 each) in a bigger size and I just use a rubber band or belly band to secure it.

I popped into Bossini today and had a look at the Maternity line. It's inexpensive, and cute. Unfortunately, the sizes looked tiny. They only come in Medium and Large.

They had camisoles and underwear too.

Which bossini did you go to? Is it in all bossini showrooms?
My friend is pregnant and is looking of good but reasonable maternity clothes.

Not sure if its in all. I saw the line in Tai Koo Shing and that's a small store.

Thanks Rani, Is the store in the mall or on the main road? Can you tell me exact location. There are so many bossini stores here, I will get confused.

If you are Shenzhen goer, you can get stuff made there for a fraction of the price of anything you can buy in the shops. I invested in a pair of maternity jeans which I got from H&M on a visit to London which I am sure they will stock in the new HK store. Not daggy and I still where them around theo house now as they are super comfy and can accommodate my still fat tummy. Then I got 3-4 t-shirts made in Shenzhen for about $60 each and wore them to death after work and on weekends. it's gets monotonous wearing the same thing but not worth too much investment for a short time.

The Bossini on Queen's Road C, opposite the new H&M, carries the maternity and baby line. And I think the CWB one, near World Trade Centre, has it too.

I have been viewing maternity clothes online and the prices for something you will wear only a few months are ridiculous. Does anybody know of a store in HK that sells reasonably priced clothes for pregnant women? I am not too interested in great looking clothes. Just something comfortable.

Just walked into Bossini and noticed that they have started to sell some nice cotten maternity tops as well as jeans. Price looked reasonable. Yes, it's pretty outrageous buying maternity clothes in HK. There's a branch of maternity clothing shops called OIO I think. They have a store in TST ToysRUs that might have some affordable items on sale. Otherwise, I noticed that there are some people selling second-hand maternity clothes on Asiaxpat.com.hk. If you don't mind, might be a good way to pick up some good deals.

At five months, I am already too big to fit into most maternity clothes in the designer maternity shops (e.g. Formes). Disheartened, I walked into Marks & Spencer, and was amazed to discover a wealth of big sized tops and bottoms (pants, shorts and skirts) with elastic waists (sizes 16-18). They are a FRACTION of the price of the maternity shops. I'll still check out H&M though!
