Where can I find modest maternity clothes that look appropriate for a middle-aged woman? I was SO disheartened this afternoon after hitting the mall. Everything was so tight, low cut, or just so uncomfortable. It honestly looked as if the clothes should have been in the teen department! Any advice would be greatly appreciate. (And, by the way, I don't sew so that option is out.)

HI, Carol!
Have you tried looking at any of the local thrift shops? Sometimes they have maternity clothes that aren't as "trendy" (not to mention a lot cheaper!!) I'll be praying for you!!

Hi Carol,
Welcome to the boards!
I remember having the SAME problem in 2004 when searching for maternity clothes...everything was so low-cut and just not my style. I just HAD to find some things, and eventually managed to accumulate a decent wardrobe. Most of it was bought one piece at a time, here and there.
There was one store in particular, called "Khol's", where I found some cute tops, dresses, and capri sets. I Don't know if they have one where you live, but they regularly have 40% off sales, which made everthing reasonably priced. Other than that, I just kept my eyes open for something half-ways cute everywhere I went.
I ended having to buy some of the low-cut blouses and dresses, but wore matching-colored tank tops under them so I didn't feel like I looked like a hussy! They really looked fine that way, and the contrast of the matching tank top made them look even cuter, I think.
I imagine you've checked the yellow pages for maternity stores in your area. I didn't find much in those shops that I was willing to pay high prices for. I suppose you could find lots of things online, but if you're like me, you'd want to try them on first.
Blessings to you in your search!
Lori

Hi Carol,
I forgot to mention, that I've seen some nicer, dressier maternity clothes (as well as casual) in the new Target store in my area. I was surprised to see such nice things there, and reasonably priced too. I've noticed they seem to get new things in pretty regularly, so you can always check back if you don't see anything you like the first time.
I found a couple of things that I really liked at half-price...I love those kind of sales!
I gave away all of my maternity clothes a couple of months ago. I'd made up my mind that I wouldn't be needing them anymore. Now it looks like I'll be needing some more soon, praise God! I hope others will make suggestions on places to shop, we need all the help we can get!
Blessings to you...
Lori

I bought a lot of mine off of ebay. They have some of the "older" styles. Just get measurements as I bought some that were too short. Go by measurements not by size.
