I'm 3w PP and in that awful nothing fits stage. I've got 15lbs left to lose, too ;/
Where do you get your favorite tunics? I can't seen to find any (though I haven't been looking hard 
) I'm short and have chubby legs and wide hips, so I basically need a muu-muu.
Preferably online so I can shop from my phone and have delivered!

Lands end has a few cute ones, the starfish line in particular I think will be my post partum go to. Plus they run big which is nice when you're not feeling amazing 
.

@Cole: do you have the starfish pants?? They're great! Though, I wish they had a length between regular and petite, but I happen to have short legs, so maybe that's just a me issue.
I have some from Boden that I like & I ordered some from mod cloth recently. This one was nice because it was fitted up top, but then very long & loose. It needs a cami under it, but you could prob do a nursing tank since it has buttons on top, if you wanted to. Comes in a bunch of colors. http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blouses/back-road-ramble-top-in-white

Forever 21 carries a lot of batwing and other styles of tunics and they even have a plus sized store. I also have a few that I like from Urban outfitters, Marshall's and Ross. Shopping online I usually just go eBay where I can get a story of styles shipped, often new.

@mrs. bird: I was looking at that top but worried about the buttons. I'm huge on top, DD, but have a small waist and big hips.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: I wore the back road ramble shirt from Modcloth today actually. I'm a C (kind of pear shaped) and the medium fits me really well. In their reviews though, some people post their measurements and pictures in the clothes so that could be helpful!

I bought this one at the mall today from JCP:

I fit into a medium and was surprised as normally I wear a large and can't do shirts with buttons as they pull - this one doesn't. I'm normally a 10/12 size and large chested - DD.

I have gotten a couple of tunic sweaters from the Lou and Grey line at Loft. They're very comfy...I'm loving their stuff postpartum.

@littlecasita1122: I may have to invest in one of those tunics! It looks so pretty and comfortable.

Target has some great ones. I bought a couple recently because I liked the style better than full button downs.

H&M has awesome tunics, especially sweaters. I wear more of their stuff while pregnant and PP than any other brand. Very comfy, stylish, and affordable. (Their store at Ross Park Mall is great too)

@Ash: I haven't but I keep eyeballing them...They are fleece-lined (at least the ones I've seen that caught my eye) and I wasn't sure about that...Like would the fleece make me look chub or add an extra layer? Plus I'm in the South, on the coast, and not sure if it really warrants fleece. But they looked so cute.
My friend that told me about the site did day she has ordered clothes a lot, and she mentioned leggings. I didn't ask her about leggings specifically, but I did ask her about the quality of the clothes bc I don't want to buy flimsy stuff that looks cheap or falls apart after 1 wear no matter how cheap the price is, and she said she had been really pleased with the quality of everything.
Once you place an order, you deal directly with the individual boutique, and I'm sure if you had a problem like the leggings we're see-through, they would handle it. I've had to contact 2 separate sellers/boutiques about changing a color in my order before it shipped and they were both super quick to accommodate me:)

@Ash: @PrincessBaby: I got 4 or maybe 5 pairs of leggings from them last year, and I love them! Two pairs of them are the fleece kind, and the inside feels like the inside of a sweatshirt so they're thin but warm. One of my friends owns a boutique, and she said a ton of the stuff on Very Jane is from the same suppliers she orders from.

Just popping in to day that I'm so thankful for this thread. I'm in the awkward pregnancy stage where nothing fits right and I don't want to wear jeans, so leggings it is. I need tunics SO bad!!

@Mrs. Rabbit: there's a mom at preschool who had a baby four days before me. She has a washboard stomach & a thigh gap already.
I try not to compare myself but who am I kidding.
I had bad body image before but gahhh. I look like the Michelin man.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: ugh; i feel ya! I'm about to see a friend of mine (due two weeks before me) and from her photos, it looks like she has the world's most adorable tiny bump. I look like a whale with a basketball!

@PrincessBaby: Shoot, i fell in love with those long sleeve tunics, but they're all sold out now! Do they often have tunics? I've never heard of Jane before, but now I'm totally sold. Cheap prices and fun colors!!

I got two pairs of the fleece lined leggings, it's nice they fit a variety of sizes, great for pregnancy during the winter in Oregon. Thanks for the tip!

@Mrs. Rabbit: I have been addicted to the site since last week and they have new stuff every day...Literally every day since I got addicted they have had a different style of tunic available! So just check each morning and I'm sure something great will pop up in the next few days! I will say you have to act fast- they seem to sell out fast? I had 5 colors in my shopping cart and by the time I checked out, only 4 went through bc one sold out before I completed my transaction:(. So now every morning I drink coffee and stalk Jane early.

Boden has some cute ones. They're kind of expensive, but they're good quality.
