Some weird stuff but some cute stuff as well. I just got this one, it arrived today and it is so light and airy!</p> <p><a href="http://www.nextdirect.com/ca/en/go84012s2#695647" rel="nofollow">http://www.nextdirect.com/ca/en/go84012s2#695647</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733835 Tue, 09 May 2017 18:37:59 +0000 azjax 2733835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend maxi skirts and dresses one or two sizes up! I also love the Metro slouch pants from Athleta, but they're pricey. Pink Blush was a huge disappointment to me; nothing was actually fabricated to accommodate a bump, so shorts and dresses were too short in the front. Plus, all of the fabric was totally see-through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733805 Tue, 09 May 2017 14:55:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2733805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asos and Zulily (but for Zulily make sure you pick stuff that's fast shipping) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733759 Tue, 09 May 2017 13:42:57 +0000 Ms. RV 2733759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of my summer pieces were from Walmart. I had so many of these t-shirts and wore them with maxi skirts:<br /> <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Oh-Mamma-Maternity-Short-Sleeve-Tee-With-Flattering-Side-Rushing-Available-in-Plus-Size/55152305?variantFieldId=actual_color" rel="nofollow">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Oh-Mamma-Maternity-Short-Sleeve-Tee-With-Flattering-Side-Rushing-Available-in-Plus-Size/55152305?variantFieldId=actual_color</a></p> <p>They are actually nicer than Motherhood tees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733728 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:35:32 +0000 littlejoy 2733728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NANA87: I feel like I LOVE how these look online, but they'd look weird on my body, haha. I love their new Shibori print!! </p> <p>@avivoca: Do you have a favorite brand? </p> <p>@mrskansas: @Mamag511: Thanks for this recommendation. I forgot about this brand, but remember liking their offerings when I first saw them awhile ago!! </p> <p>@catlady: I haven't really thought about that!! I'm wearing a non-maternity skirt today, so duh, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733726 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:29:02 +0000 catlady 2733726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For both pregnancies, my favorite summer pieces ended up being dresses in regular sizes that just happened to fit my bump. Hard to make recommendations because the styles are no longer sold but I basically just did a lot of trying on and looked for stretchy fabrics (jersey mostly) and empire waists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733722 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:26:29 +0000 avivoca 2733722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maxi dresses! Oh my gosh, they saved me last summer. I felt like I was walking around in a big nightgown and I was supremely comfortable every day I wore it.</p> <p>ETA: I bought it one size up in non-maternity so I can wear it this year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733720 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:23:59 +0000 Mamag511 2733720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second pink blush. I've gotten some cute stuff from there. Some of it is a little more $, but they have sale codes on Facebook all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733710 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:10:08 +0000 mrskansas 2733710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try Pink Blush maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733709 Tue, 09 May 2017 12:09:17 +0000 nana87 2733709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More expensive but I'm obsessed with the dresses from Dwell and Slumber. And they are excellent postpartum/for nursing too-- I still wear them all the time and lo2 is 12 weeks. They're all one size and come in a variety of prints/colors, and only available to buy during specific times, but they're great! Super comfy and chic despite being baggy house dresses, lol. During winter I wore them with leggings but I'll keep wearing them without this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-summer-maternity-pieces#post-2733691 Tue, 09 May 2017 11:47:20 +0000 littlejoy 2733691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so not in love with Old Navy &amp; Target's current maternity offerings (they're mostly pretty boring). I'd love to find some nice summer pieces that don't look like tents, and are a little bohemian feeling. Any ideas? </p> <p>I'm a size 8/10 and prefer to spend less than $25 per piece (especially since this is my last pregnancy). </p>
