Every once in a while, I work with a client who’s already an expert shopper and doesn’t need my help in that area. Virginia was one of those. We spent all of our time together confirming her style and editing down her massive collection of incredible clothes so that she could make room for a baby! During our time together, she did a massive amount of research about maternity clothes for plus size women and she’s allowing me to share it here so that everyone can benefit! Here’s a list from her with her personal notes.
Seek Collective - size-inclusive linen dresses
Nap Lounge Wear - elevated loungewear that runs huge
Pink Blush - great, cheap basics, size-inclusive, so great
Storq - have a small plus size maternity section but it’s nice stuff, love the jumper overalls
Old Navy - plus size in store now and I found a lot of maternity returns on the sale rack
Peridot Robes - actually luxurious feeling plus size robes that fit!!
Athleta - also has some great robes.
ASOS - maternity stuff is cut like I’m 6’ tall but I’ve made some of it work
Miranda Bennett Studio - got a cool linen nursing dress here
Shiny by nature - colorful, size-inclusive basics!
Lucy and Yak - adorable overalls, size-inclusive, not good for short people
Philomena + Ruth - dope jumpsuits and lounge pants, have almost all of them
Artemisia made - expensive, nice, roomy linen stuff
Esby - my old Esby stuff fits great
Uzi - the tunics always fit and are such a good price
Saint and Sophia - great lounge pants
Rachel Craven - expensive, dope, often sold out
Gentle Herd - giant, nice sweaters

Such an amazing list, right? And here’s a little love from Virginia about our work together.
