I was just wondering, I'm a plus size. I always wanted nice clothes. Lately I've been thinking about maybe trying maturity wear (Although I'm not pregnant) The question is...Would it show my stomach? I know it's for woman who are pregnant but can you still wear them if you are not pregnant without your stomach showing? Can people tell if it's maturity wear? I just like some of the clothes they have. Rather than shopping at places like Walmart.
As far as maternity clothing goes, don't do it. Some of the clothes might be tempting, but it's just like those cute jeans that are two sizes too small: they're not designed to fit your body. The outcome will most likely look as if you dressed yourself in a deflated balloon. And you don't deserve that humiliation. [ snarky's advice column | Ask snarky A Question ]

You might find that it's too tight in the chest, or the arms, or if you get pants, in the legs but not the waist.
I would definitely recommend Addition-Elle, MXM and Penningtons. They're both stores that I shop at.

Also i just wanted to add that theres other places other than walmart such as reitmans, suzy shier, zellers, and a lot of other places in your local mall just look around im sure you can find some nice things that arent in the maturnity section. :D [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
