Question:

Are there companies out there who make maternity fashions for plus size women? This would be the true Women's sizes like 20, 22, 24 not an Misses XL. How do I get in touch with them? - Bea, Peoria
Answer:


Bea,
There are a number of manufacturers that make plus size maternity fashions. Japanese Weekend, at http://www.japaneseweekend.com, has many styles that go up to XXL, which is equivalent to 20/22. They are a top quality vendor with very contemporary styles. Another top quality plus size vendor you can check out is Fit For Two Maternity at http://www.galeriver.com. They do not sell retail, but if you see anything you like on their web site, we would be able to order it for you through Anna Cris Maternity at http://www.annacris.com - just send us an email and let us know.  In the fall, we will be carrying plus sizes 20-26 from a third top quality vendor, Rebel Jeans, out of Canada. They specialize in twills and denim.

Although I am unable to comment on the quality and style of Baby Becoming at http://www.babybecoming.com, they ONLY carry plus size maternity wear. You can also request a JC Penney catalog at 1-800-222-6161 to see their current plus-size maternity fashions. Finally, you can find a very extensive resource on maternity clothing and much more at the Plus Size Pregnancy web site at http://www.vireday.com/plus.
