Once considered a specialty item, the fashion market is becoming increasingly responsive to the needs of the plus-size pregnant women. Getting dressed while pregnant need no longer be the frilly polyester nightmare it once was.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Visit your favorite stores. Neighborhood stores like "JC Penney" and "Old Navy" might be able to suit many of your needs.
Step 2

Consider plus-size retailers. "Lane Bryant" and "Fashion Bug" cater to the plus-size woman and offer a broad range of stylish maternity wear.
Step 3

For high-end, designer maternity wear, visit "Bella Blu" for everything from formal gowns to swimsuits.
Step 4

Ask women in your family. If other women in your family wear plus-sized clothing, see if they still have any of their maternity clothing around, or ask them to set it aside for you if they are currently pregnant. Hand-me-downs aren't just for the babies.
Step 5

Make your own clothing. For the crafty woman with a little spare time, this option provides complete control over the style and size of your maternity clothing. Visit "North Breeze" for a selection of patterns.
