New Maternity Clothing Range

Chelsea House · Jul 2nd, 2009, 10:41 AM

Hi

I work for River Island - any pregnant fans out there? If so, we're sure you'll be glad to hear that from September we'll be selling our brand new maternity range. We want all you lovely mums-to-be to tell us what you'd like to see. What do you look for in terms of style and comfort? What items would you like to be included in the range? Please reply to this thread to let us know.

Thank you!

Heya ive not long had my LO but always useful ....

Black 'work' trousers.
Fashionable and practical winter coats - very scarse on the market.
Comfy tops to wear that can be 'tidy' and 'smart'.

Elasticated and hidden elasticated waist bands are a must!

Yes, winter coats are a must!! Trendy ones. Nothing out there now that's able to zip over the belly!!

Cute sweaters - in all different colours, not just "winter" colours.

I've found that there are tons of summer clothes (and they are so cute!) but I am worried the winter selection will be "old-lady" style and not very flattering.

Woo, this'll be out in time for me to wear it hopefully

I agree with the others, winter coats, smart workwear and boyfit jeans but with elasticated waistbands. xx

Everyday Workwear.
Decent shirts and trousers, remembering that most of us at work need to dress modestly

Oh god I even bore myself

But it's been the biggest pain for me.

I'd like a better choice of LONG tops because it's so much easier to resort to leggings! But they are not good for curvy bottoms ;p

I found it near impossible to find decent work clothes, just wanted nicely tailored, fashionable trousers and skirts - I used to live in pencil skirts for work and just couldn't find anything once I was pregnant. The main problem I found was that Mamas and Papas clothes were too frumpy and not always very flattering but nowhere else did anything other than casual dress, which wasn't suitable for work.

Winter clothing ranges as well that are fitted and flattering, not just baggy sweaters. and some pretty tops, dresses for Christmas parties - you want to look and feel fab for a party.

There is soooo much nice summer stuff out there but nothing nice for fall IMO!

Sweaters that aren't too heavy-- us preggos don't need much, we've got little furnaces in there!

Hmm.. comfy, supportive, CASUAL pants.. I had a hard time finding these, dress pants were way easier to find.

Jeans that feel like normal jeans on your legs and bum- mine were always sagging on my bum and the denim didn't feel as nice as my regular jeans!!

a decent size range, most high street stores are under generous with the fit and stop at size 18! us larger ladies have real difficulty finding nicely fitting maternity clothes.

instead some of us end up buying larger sized normal clothes and look like we're wearing a tent.

3/4 sleeved tops, and wrap over tops so they can be used as breastfeeding tops when the baby has arrived.
