Knocked Up Rollcall

The black and white one, I hope you mean...

And let me again acknolwedge my inherently privileged position of 1) being on the smaller end of plus size and being able to size up in non-maternity plus stuff and 2) having money to actually afford new clothes at all! I recognize this is some quid/ag shit, ultimately.

The other one would make a fine dress if the stripes were different colors, I think. And by that I mean death to mauve. But really I am hearing you, the options are p bleak.

No offence taken, Carl! I wasn't sure if F21 had tights in higher than XL but I was overjoyed when I discovered they had cheap XL ones and hoped the size train kept on a runnin'. I kinda like hideous blue suit but I'm a weirdo, so.

I have... four? dresses that are almost that exact color! But something about the color applied to a suit and that cut and woof.

You are a weirdo, though. ;)

this weirdo likes mauve and has at least a couple of mauve tops, but doesn't do white tops/dresses and is suspicious of horizontal stripes (I am fairly sure that "horizontal = fattening, vertical = slimming" thing is BS but it still taunts me when I look at horizontal stripes in the shop so I never buy any), so, still not doing that stripy dress

i always feel like a clown in vertical stripes
sometimes that's ok but usually it's kinda nagl

I used stripes as a gateway drug to white in my wardrobe and now I'll wear every crazy thing. Summer of unemployment has been mostly jorts, leggings as pants(! Inside the house only) & yoga pants though. Skirts seem like too much work for lazing about the house in. You are right, Carl, now that I look again it is a weirdly cut suit but the blue is an A+ weirdo shade for sure. /helpful post

Simplybe.co.uk has a huge range of plus-size maternity stuff and it looks like the .com site has a fair amount too. Don't know if it's your kind of style, but def worth checking out if you haven't already.

PLUS-SIZE MATERNITY LEATHER-LOOK LEGGINGS Oh carl we have found your spiritual home.

The palazzo pants I am wearing right now are from Simply Be's maternity range! I wouldn't call the range huge, but it's pretty much a fat woman's best bet for anything nearing stylish maternity.

This is hot shit, though - http://www.simplybe.com/maternity/maternity-print-bodycon-dress/invt/rf288gw/

Please don't sell out before I get paid again....

Yeah, that dress is ace. It's a UK company so I guess that's why our site has a bit more stuff.

Anyway, I should out myself: I am carrying the spawn of Stet and will be for another 24 weeks or so, all being well.

hey, congrats!
what is a bodycon dress?

Awesome, Madchen!!! Congratulations!

Bodycon dress = form fitting

Yayyyy, congratulations!

Madchen (anybody, really), would you be interested in a pregnancy commiseration thread or the like? I feel like me using this thread to talk about general pregnancy stuff means that your amazing announcement got a little lost so we could take the conversation elsewhere. Or I could just stop talking about it so much...

congratulations madchen and stet, that's wonderful news.

don't ever stop talking, carl agatha, you are a joy to read.

Congrats madchen and stet!

I'd definitely post on a pregnancy commiseration thread, but don't worry about the general chat here - it doesn't feel like anything got lost.

Why not then - This Is the Pregnancy Commiseration and Support Thread
