I am 30 weeks pregnant, and want to be fashionable for once in my life....

    I'm sure I saw one in our local Bewise branch today. Sorry, no idea of price (but would def have been under £20).

    I wonder if anywhere such as Asda , Tesco or Sainsburys would have any? My daughter got a nice one from Sainsburys recently , but it was pink and she doesn't think they have it in brown , but it may be worth a look undecided.gif Also perhaps shops such as Primark , H&M , New Look and Peacocks might be worth a try , although I appreciate you wont want to go trailing around the shops at 30 weeks pregnant!

    I like the look of THIS ONE from Debenhams , although it's a drawstring waist not elasticated and it's just over £20 at £22 , but it's brown icon10.gif

    Good luck with your skirt hunting and your pregnancy icon7.gif

    I was looking for a skirt yesterday to hide my post pregnancy tummy, and i found some gorgous ones in B wise but they had zips. Peacocks do lovely clothes at minute but haven't noticed if they have brown skirts or not. I have a coral coloured one from there which has elasticated waist and was only £12, however not huge amount of give with waist

  • thanks all..

    i picked up a nice brown/orange/turquoise skirt in h+m in france (on a day trip last week) its drawstring and big and comfy - and best of all only £13.81 (19.90euros) - but am still on the lookout

    i keep being told Primark (i love primark) so go in and they never have any!

    Have you tried MK1 or MarkOne as they used to be known? They've a really good range of gypsy style skirts at the moment in about amillion colours - OK slight exaggeration there, but loads anyway. & they have elastic waists - very good for your current expansion!

    i am sure i saw one in poundstretcher yesterday it was about £14-16, or you should be able to get one in tkmxx. i bough a beautiful purple one in tkmaxx with so much material it looked really expensive and that was only £20.

    hehe. I was gonna say primark.

    I got an elasticated waist black tiered skirt in a linen ish material and they definately did it in brown, burgandy, white and khaki too. :) Mine is very comfy :)

    They had loads and loads of tiered skirts in the manchester one the other day.. about 15-20 different styles.. a few had elasticated waists too :)
  • I just bought one from New Look for £20 then went into Primark and they had a similar one for £6!!!!! YES £6!!!!!

    It had a rope belt on it which i have removed, but i did buy two belts from Primark for £2.50 and one for £4

    Also i saw a shorter one (just below the knee instead of floor length) at Ethel Austin for £8.

    I LOVE PRIMARK!!!!
