Third trimester clothing: a rant/request
I'm so annoyed at clothing right now. I have tried and tried again to find clothes that work. I'm almost 32 weeks and I intend to work up until about 38 weeks (when my leave starts) and there are absolutely 0 clothing stores that seem to sell appropriate clothing that fits. I don't work corporate but I need to wear long pants that are either jeans or slacks and look business casual. Additionally, I need to wear shirts of a similar nature. All these cute little dresses that are modeled on 5'11 women who have the cutest, tiniest, little bumps are just useless. I'm maybe on the slightly smaller side of average (5'4) and I have pretty much only gained weight mainly in my bump (maybe a little bit of thighs, but not horribly) and I can't find anything!
Where are the models with real bumps? I want work pants that can accommodate my additional 15" in my waist. I'm not abnormal! There's a world full of average-height pregnant women who work! Also, why can't I find a shirt that both covers my bump fully and also looks work appropriate? I don't need a crop top! I also don't want a sack style tee that's "comfort mamma"! I don't need a wrap shirt that will now show the bottom half of my belly because I've past that "aww she's just starting to show!" Phase. Also, anything I've found that remotely fits seems to be the itchiest poly-blend that makes my pregnant-sensitive skin crawl.
Grrrr. That is all. (I'm pilfering my husband's button downs for weeks 36 on, I just know it)
