Another idea is to hack off the waist band of an oppy bought skirt and sew a tube of firm jersey or ponti-like material to it. Just a thought. :)Sherrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977882088598679226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-1887840052271002032010-08-12T12:57:52.662+10:002010-08-12T12:57:52.662+10:00oh Vic, i hear you. i feel your pain. I share you...oh Vic, i hear you. i feel your pain. I share your torment. <br /><br />Have you tried on the boy's clothes? I started wearing hubby's clothes, (from his pre-Oz skinny days) and found a pair of hip-hop style shorts that fit. I lived in them. Then it got cold and I found a pair of his Aussie-bought jeans; I was horrified when they fit. But that was months ago. I'm mortified to say they don't fit me anymore. <br /><br />The only thing I buy new is undies: I bought a whole heap, but I had to go up 2 sizes! My bum is getting scarey. So just know this: you are not alone.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766314069469119611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-66875451119271933492010-08-10T15:04:50.783+10:002010-08-10T15:04:50.783+10:00I'm with them (she says indicating the previou...I'm with them (she says indicating the previous comments). I held back on buying stuff when pregnant with no#1, bought a couple of things when pregnant with no#2 and a couple more when pregnant with no#3. The best of the cheaper stuff were a couple of tops from Kmart that had ruching(?) down the sides so they stretched around belly without sliding up all the time and my sister loved the belly band tubey things. Pregnancy is often uncomfortable enough without having uncomfortable clothing as well. If you really don't want to spend I have a few items that have been loaned around the expanding belly zone and I believe they are back in my possession again so maybe a loan would work for you???Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081197188456558450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-83355308649861019992010-08-10T13:51:06.661+10:002010-08-10T13:51:06.661+10:00Ahuh..

Go and ...Ahuh.. I am with the two comments above! <br /><br />Go and get yourself some stuff to make you feel good...My preggers 'uniform' at the moment is really comfy maternity leggings or tights with a black stretchy skirt or merino wool skirt (above knee), stretchy witchery singlets (they are fantastically comfortable) and long cardi of some sort..boots... Perfect and comfy! <br /><br />I am either in that or a tracksuit!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136077130695382718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-34570820782031279292010-08-10T12:46:00.366+10:002010-08-10T12:46:00.366+10:00I agree with Tin can Daisy.

Buy yourself some Bonds preggars stuff and get comfy and feel nice.Cath @ chunkychookyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926661077860579075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-78547713560082699552010-08-10T10:10:54.147+10:002010-08-10T10:10:54.147+10:00Vic, there are some times in your life when you ne...Vic, there are some times in your life when you need to be kind to yourself and when you are pregnant is one of them - you're supposed to be enjoying this special time so go buy yourself some things that make you feel beautiful!! And not from the opshop either. If you're on a budget Target often have nice maternity things and Big W sometimes have some Bonds things that are cute - and they're not too dear. So go shop woman!Tin Can Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308820474186363522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-46850907459113568952010-08-10T09:13:17.553+10:002010-08-10T09:13:17.553+10:00Not knowing exactly how "fat" you are (h...Not knowing exactly how "fat" you are (hehe) and how much weight you might have put on, have you tried those belly band things? Like a boob tube thingy that you use to kind of extend the use of your existing wardrobe. They have them on ebay, just search belly band. Quite cheap too. Or make your own.Selinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13677873091396001547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-5741062119866972712010-08-10T09:03:36.329+10:002010-08-10T09:03:36.329+10:00The two ethical and affordable solutions for mater...The two ethical and affordable solutions for maternity wear seem to be giving up caring about how you look, or getting creative. <br /><br />I'm surviving this pregnancy with one unflattering pair of jeans from last pregnancy, some refashioned old cords, tracky daks if I'm not leaving the house, two purpose-made maternity tops and the largest of my usual wardrobe of teeshirts and jumpers. I have a bunch of awesome maternity dresses I made myself last pregnancy but haven't got around to buying a new pair of tights to wear with them (what a stupid reason not to wear dresses) and can't be bothered dressing up as I'm not working in an office this time around.<br /><br />Megan Nielsen (who made the maternity top pattern I used last month) has some very simple maternity refashions on her blog, which can be done using op shop clothing. She's changed the setup of her site a bit so you have to scroll a bit to find them, but this is a good place to start:<br />http://blog.megannielsen.com/?s=maternity+refashionJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257294267302489273noreply@blogger.com
