work friendly maternity skirts? « Back to Group Discussions

I think I'm going to be in maternity clothing sooner than I anticipated  Where can I get cute, below the knee, work appropriate skirts?

I really haven't seen many below the knee skirts in maternity.  It seems like maternity skirts in general tend to be on the casual side.  Can you go with dresses instead?  There are so many great maternity dresses! 

Oh, and I hear you about needing maternity clothes earlier than expected.  I pulled out a pair of pants this morning and I could swear I wore them last week.  There was no chance the zipper was going up.

I have some great stretchy skirts (not maternity) that are knee length and one floor length that are kind of like yoga pant material, so you can dress them up or down.  I got the knee length ones a banana republic and the floor length one at express.  All on sale and I plan on wearing them all summer!

I think that's tough!  There are a lot of cute dresses out there, but skirts that are work fabrics and knee length seem hard to find.

This is a tutorial I used in converting my work pants to maternity, it can be applied to skirts as well.  Maybe that would work for you?

How about something like this mid-calf skirt?
