Maternity clothing for pre-preg size 16/18?

[wholebreath]

Anybody have any good suggestions for companies that make maternity clothes for bigger girls? Some of my old maternity clothes will still fit, but not all. I'm currently a size 16/18, depending on the company.

I was a 16/18 prepregnancy and I bought all of mine from Old Navy and Target and OMG I love them... Im only 17 weeks so most of them are loose still... except my skirt which fits extremely comfortably but will keep stretching with me far beyond how big I normally get while pregnant, and doesn't seem to get tighter the further out it goes.

I dont have an Old Navy or Target store within driving distance so I got them from online but that is fine... because I was able to measure myself and get them EXACTLY the right size even without trying them on and online you have a much larger selection than in-store.

Goodwill! I got all of my stuff (in bigger sizes) there...took a few trips to really get a whole wardrobe, but the selection was fantastic!

Old Navy! They have great prices and are super comfy clothes! Shop the sales/clearance online!

I've gotten most of my stuff from Old Navy and Motherhood. I've also realized that quite a few of my "regular" clothes are stretchy enough even at 7 months that I can still wear them.

I have some tops from Old Navy that I really like, but I'm not a fan of their jeans. I love the Motherhood secret fit belly jeans! So comfy and really cheap. I pretty much live in those and yoga pants. Now I'm looking for nursing stuff and it seems even harder to find a decent plus size selection.

WalMart online has some XL pieces. I'm not sure how that translates in size. Land's End maternity sizes run big, but they're selection is extremely limited and it comes and goes.
I have been using my local thrift store which has a maternity section and they have lots of larger sizes.

I dont buy maternity jeans, I feel they are a waste since jeans can last SO long... and Im only going to be pregnant one more time after this.

Instead I plan on using my bella band with my regular jeans (and its still working so far!)

I found Old Navy stuff too skinny in the thighs. I'm a curvy 16/18 pre-preg. I had great luck with pants from the Gap. Expensive, yes. But comfortable and well worth the money for me. Shirts were fine at Old Navy.

Old Navy maternity tends to run big on me for some reason, but I still buy some things from them. They'll fit great toward the very end!

Target is my absolute go to. They go up to XXL and actually size their maternity pants (up to a size 18). Motherhood has a plus sized section, but I actually preferred the fit of their regularly sized XL stuff (I'm a 16/18 as well).

Kohl's also carries some good maternity pants and their sales can be really generous.

I was an 18 pre pregnancy but I can't wear any normal maternity clothes. This time I bought some shirts on clearance at Lane Bryant and Kohls, (but just plus size, not maternity) and they are so much better! I have a long torso and for some reason these shirts are longer than any maternity shirt I could ever find. I did buy 2 plus size shirts form motherhood and they were ok, but still a little shorter than I like. The best part is... I have some postpartum shirts to wear here in a few weeks!

5 years ago, I had great luck with JCPenney.com, kohls and old navy. All reasonably priced, comfortable and fairly stylish, for maternity clothes. I was really disappointed with motherhood. Happy Shopping!

I didn't know kohl's had a maternity dept, I'll have to check it out. All my maternity clothes are at the back of a storage unit (we weren't expecting this one this soon). I'm dying to get it all out and sort it and see what I might actually need, but haven't gotten to it yet. Shopping for maternity stuff was more fun without the prospect of a toddler in tow....

I usually buy second hand through Once Upon a Child. It seems to me that Motherhood runs a little small. Liz Lange has cute stuff. I also get irritated that clothing companies assume that if you're a 16/18 you must have enormous boobs. I'm fat but modestly endowed, most of my maternity tops are way too big in the top.
