Maturnity wear


Question Posted Sunday March 14 2010, 3:05 am



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.


Thanks

A great place to shop that's actually affordable for plus sized women is Torrid.

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.

The problem with maternity wear is that there's only going to be extra room in the tummy area. Most of us plus-size gals need extra room everywhere! 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.

You can definitely wear maturnity clothes if you want and your just going to have to try stuff on to see if they show your stomach but i think a lot of maturnity clothes are made to enphasize the stomach area to show that your pregnant but some dont your just going to have to try stuff on to see what you like. 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
