Quick poll about maternity clothes

laurawest2580 · Jul 3rd, 2009, 14:43 PM

Hello, my name is Laura, and I am an expectant mum due in November. Throughout this pregnancy and my last one I have found that I very rarely can find trousers etc to fit me as I am quite short. Therefore I've frequently had to have my maternity clothes shortened. I am therefore looking into setting up my own business. I will be selling maternity clothes for tall people and short people with a point of purchase trouser shortening service to order. I have already solicited some feedback and my research shows that about 80% of women also have similar problems as me. My question therefore is trying to get an affordable price for the alteration service. Obviously the cheaper the better, but I need to know realistically what we are all prepared to pay.

Thanks very much for your help in advance

Me too

I've had to have all my trousers altered. I got lovely next maternity jeans, paid £35 and then £8 on top to have them shortened....it's expensive for a few months wear...
