Hello :)

Where are the best places to buy maternity clothes online? I am tall and struggle greatly buying regular clothes in Dubai so cant imagine how its going to be for me when I really start to show in a month or so. I'm worried about what im going to wear to work in particular. Casual not so bad as I can just get some maxi dresses made at the tailor.

Any advice of where to buy reasonably priced mat clothes online and that deliver to Dubai greatly appreciated.

Thanks ladies.

Have you tried H&M here? They have a surprisingly nice (and large) selection of maternity and nursing stuff.

Topshop has a small selection, however very practical. I love the Topshop Maternity tights, still wear them :\: in June???! June in the UK - then YES! Sorry am sitting in rainy London and obviously had the wrong thinking cap on when I typed the response ;)

My favorite online store for maternity clothing [url=http://www.asos.com/Women/Clearance/Maternity/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=6413#parentID=-1&pge=0&pgeSize=20&sort=3'>ASOS[/url'>. They ship direct to Dubai at no cost, and packages normally take a few days to arrive! And no complaints about the prices either! Maternity Clothing in Dubai is a rip off as they know the supply does not meet the demand so they can afford to charge you an arm and a leg for something very plain and basic :/: <em>edited by plumie on 17/06/2011</em>

i just bought maternity leggings, big of the shoulder tops and comfy maxi dresses, oooh and a must have a decent pair of maternity jeans and a belly band. the dresses, legging and tops i still wear 6+ months later now i need tank tops to go underneath as i am a bit bustier, and they are getting bigger. you will want clothes you can wear as you transition in sizes.

You can buy the waist extenders from Destination Maternity in Mirdif CC or Dxb mall to get a few more months out of trousers.

Am also tallish (5'9") and bought the regular maternity sizes from New look,H&M, Destination Maternity and wore leggings underneath dresses etc Mothercare do a longer length jean leg in their maternity range as do New Look. ASDA (UK) sell the best maternity leggings. Tops were never a problem for me,just bought regular size.

Hi Tweet - do a search for previous threads on this topic. I highly recommend asos.com for their maternity wear. They deliver to the UAE. When you are asked for your delivery address, type "Post Office Box" and not "PO Box" and they will accept the order. ASOS are very efficient and provide refunds or exchanges.

Have a look on their website. Maybe american sites have more choice?
