You must return by mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-309271 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:09:53 +0000 hilsy85 309271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also 5'7" and used to wear an XS in tops...however, my boobs have grown a ton since being pregnant, so now while XS/S stuff fits my arms and shoulders, it's all waaay too short. I would suggest going for stuff that fits larger/longer than you think you'll need, because your belly will grow and take up space! I like the way gap S fits. Old Navy S is hit or miss. Motherhood S also seems to fit well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-309259 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:00:53 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 309259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that the Liz Lang Maternity for Target tops run small - I nornally wear a medium, but am more comfortable in a large with that brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-309027 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:43:43 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 309027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the Target xs stuff is pretty small. Also, I mostly wore non-maternity clothes in a larger size, as long as they were sort of long-ish tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-309003 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:57:57 +0000 shopaholic 309003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't ordered from them yet, but I think a lot of ASOS Maternity stuff should fit smaller than Old Navy and The Gap, etc. Since ASOS is kind of a younger, trendy line, I suspect their fit is smaller too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-309000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:51:06 +0000 LemonLong 309000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 33.5 weeks and I still mostly wear my non-maternity tops (I usually wear a small). So try looking for longer length stretchy non-maternity shirts! Most clothes have a lot stretch in them now, so you just have to make sure they are long enough to accommodate your growing belly and you should be good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308938 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:59:41 +0000 immabeetoo 308938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo I know Gap accepts returns in store from online orders - Old Navy does but maybe not for maternity? Kohls and Target do as well. I like ordering 2 sizes and returning which (or both) don't fit me in stores :) Retailmenot.com usually has a freeshipping &amp; % off code + ebates so sometimes I even prefer doing that over in store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308926 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:49:41 +0000 JessiBee 308926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I also haven't caved on buying maternity clothes online. I'm definitely used to being able to walk into a store and try on, and I"m not looking forward to just hoping a size works, or buying a lot and returning a lot. That said...I know there's so much more online for maternity clothes than in store, so I suspect I'll cave eventually.<br /> Anyone know which maternity clothing places do free shipping both ways? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308885 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:16:17 +0000 tororojo 308885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Old Navy and they had almost nothing in store! I don't order clothes online because I never know what size to get...I will give Gap a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308617 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:04:57 +0000 immabeetoo 308617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd suggest Gap as well they definitely have XS. I find Old Navy tops run big - I am not nearly as tiny as you, but have found that Gap "fits" the best. Target's smalls fit okay but the neckline feels really wide/low to me (and I have a sizeable chest &amp; wider shoulders for my frame). Not sure if the XSs would be the same, but they have them! I end up wearing a tank top under everything because I hate bra straps to show - but I wish I'd just started with Gap and stuck with it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308577 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:41:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 308577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried Old Navy or Gap Maternity? I think Old Navy has a small section in each of their stores, but Gap are few and far between. I know Ann Taylor Loft also has a maternity line now...but most of it is online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smallpetiteskinny-on-top-maternity-tops#post-308573 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:38:00 +0000 tororojo 308573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having trouble finding t-shirt type maternity tops that fit. At Destination and Motherhood Maternity, the basic t-shirts that they make in a million different colors only go down to size small. I have freakishly tiny shoulders and no boobs, so even though I'm 5'7" I need an XS in maternity knit tops (which seem to run huge to me)! Anybody else have similar trouble, and if so, where do you buy maternity tops? I just want something basic and cheapish that I can buy in a bunch of colors and be done! </p>
