I need some. Some of mine from my last pregnancy were given away, some don't fit any more (my chest got bigger), some got ruined, some went missing in our move, and I'm left with very few that are useable.
UPDATE: I think I'm gonna be good on jeans now. I could use comfy pants or nice slacks, skirts nice and other, and tops casual and otherwise especially still. Thanks for the help!
Specifics:
-I generally require a size XL tops and dresses, due to being very large in the chest (38 G or H, depending on several factors...) In a few brands I can take a L. In a few I need an XXL for the same reason. Depends on the cut.
-I don't wear anything sleeveless. (Except camis, for under lower-cut shirts and dresses.)
-I don't wear anything with a low neckline, unless I have a cami to go under it.
-I don't wear anything that doesn't come to below the knee. No shorts, skirts, dresses, etc. unless they are bottom-of-the-knee length or longer.
-I can't wear boat-neck tops and dresses.
-I don't need really really warm winter clothing even though I'm having a baby in winter, because I live in Southern California. I can use jackets and such that are lighter because I do get a bit chilled in the fall and winter sometimes.
-I am allergic to wool, goat hair, camel hair, angora... Basically it's better for me to avoid animal fibers altogether. I don't mind synthetics a bit and cotton is wonderful.
-I don't wear ANYTHING dry clean only. Because I don't.
-I hate overalls.
-Pre-pregnancy pant size was 14 or 16, depending on brand. I will probably go up to a maternity 18 or 20 by the end of the pregnancy, but for now maternity 14 and 16 would serve me well.
-I really love all-over stretch fabrics, though I'm pretty open to almost any style that fits my modesty criteria and fits me, and really don't love things that ride very low on the hips (below the pregnant belly.) (Sensory disorder and well, it just bugs me.)
I am in need of:
-pants, casual or nice
-skirts, casual or dressy
-camis
-tops, casual, dressy, or in between
-pajamas/nightgowns (mine will do fine until the end of the second trimester, but at that point I'll be very hard pressed to fit in them)
-dresses, maybe one or two casual, but especially dresses suitable for church/dressier functions
-a few sweaters, jackets, etc.
I've got pale skin, dark blond hair, and grey-hazel eyes, my best colors are pastels, rich browns and earth tones, and navy blue. I'm no longer nursing a baby during the day so nursing access is no longer an issue, thank goodness.
If you've got something that you think I would like/use, I'd love to see/hear about it. Name your price and I'll let you know if I'm interested (the cheaper the better, honestly, but I'm willing to pay more for good-condition quality brand pieces that will last me through several pregnancies.) I'm interested in good condition nicer stuff I can wear to parties and church, as well as casual stuff and for the casual stuff I don't mind if it's a bit stained or faded, as long as there are no huge holes or anything. (Small rips that can be easily mended are okay, I'm a good mender. )
I really appreciate any of you mamas who are my size taking a look and seeing if there's something you'd like me to take off your hands! I don't usually spend a lot of money on clothes for me, and usually get maternity stuff at the thrift store, but this season there seem to be slim pickings in my size there. I've been wearing the same clothes and washing every 2 days or so because my regular ones are already starting to not fit, so it's time to get moving on really searching out what I need! Thanks for reading and taking a look if you can!
