annieheart - you should jump over to introductions and introduce yourself.

So it sounds like I shouldn't be buying anything for at least a month. I have enough to tie me over until then. My reason for hurriedly trying to find something is that I picked up a consulting gig and need some office wear. However, I'm not sure if I'll be going for #2, so I don't want to over buy.

Alison, the websites are great, thanks for posting them.

Cheri, I already get emails from those places but so far haven't seen any maternity labels.

It's not even a matter of dragging the cuffs. I'm afraid I'll fall on them! Also, I haven't found any that don't have really wide legs, which, combinded with extra long maternity tops make me look like a troll. So I haven't been buying maternity pants at all.

What about these? They come in ankle length.

Julie, I've only seen them a couple of times just keep your eye out

Has anyone come across pretty patterned maternity tights? I got regular opaque ones but would love something a bit more interesting. Also on a hunt for a winter dress and/or skirt. Most of the ones out there are cotton or jersey but a wool and/or cashmere blend would be ideal.

I have a wool or wool blend maternity skirt. I'll have to see if I still have it and check the label. That was a few years ago but maybe they have something similar. I had a hard time finding it. I think it was sort of a wool jersey? I loved that skirt and was going to see if I could have it altered Now I wonder where it is!

eta: The skirt is either Ripe or Olian. I looked a little and couldn't find anything like it.

Re: Maternity tights. Be careful about sizing. I bought a pair at Destination Maternity and followed the size chart on the back. They were so snug that the waistband actually cut my skin. DM even set aside their return policy and took them back when I showed them my belly.

Thanks Lily, I'll see if my friend in London can order them (and may be a skirt) and ship it all. She sent me some of her maternity clothes and it's so much better looking than anything I saw here.

Julie -- this is it, I found on the site Lily posted:

Thanks Nellie. I wonder if it'd be too long for me though, there's no indication as to how long it is from waist to hem.

If I could find mine, I'd measure it for you. I'm about 5'5" and it hit at mid-calf-ish for me.
