Most of my plus-sized maternity stuff came from there and JCPenney online. And luckily, since there are many empire-waisted tops right now, I was able to supplement from Lane Bryant and other traditional plus-size retailers for tops. Finding pants was much harder, hence the Motherhood basics. Motherhood Maternity has decent basic pieces in plus sizes. Most of my plus-sized maternity stuff came from there and JCPenney online.

April Cornell carries some clothes that are a size OS, which is, I think, an open size, but even some of her regular-sized clothes are very loosely fitted (as opposed to the Kit Cornell line, in which the "Large" was a size <b>8</b>). I have an extremely nice maroon wrap dress with a sprinkling of embroidery; the wrap is not at the waist, but a couple of inches below the bust, permitting expansion at the waist, if there should happen to be some expansion. I would also suggest checking out stores that carry genuine ethnic imports; while some come from countries inhabited by folks much smaller than the average American, the advantage to many ethnic garments is that they are intended to be worn by bodies that vary in size, shape, and condition - including pregnancy.

Did you know plus size women generally gain much less weight than or thinner sisters? Weee!
