Good Morning,

I was wondering if anyone has bought any clothes from this store since it changed hands and can give me some feedback. When I was pregnant last time and it was the outlet place i bought 2 tops from there and was not impressed with then.

So before spending alot of money there I was hoping someone might have some advice.

Thanks

I bought pretty much all of my maternity wear there in the last 7 months or so and was very happy with all of the clothes as`well as the friendly service. Depending on what size you are i have some hardly worn maternity clothes....I now have a 6 week old bub! Sizes vary from 14-16 and XL.

I went on a mini shopping spree at Mama Wear, I found them quite good. Great for work clothes. I also bought a gorgeous dress from there which was 1/2 price. I am a size 10. There is also a great new place in Tuggeranong Square, which I wish was open at the start of my pregnancy! It's on the side were PJ O'Reilly's is. Have fun.

Hi there

I brought most of my clothing from Mama wear. They stock pretty much the same labels as the other maternity shops, but I found them just that little bit cheaper.

Despite having changed ownership, I was under the impression that they still stock the same brands as before

Cheers, Lilymurray

I think the range is pretty much the same as it was before they changed ownership but I must admit not being a big fan of being served by a young man in a maternity shop. I want to be served by a woman who has been pregnant and knows what it is like! Prejudiced aren't I? (plus I don't like being in change rooms that don't curtain off properly and being half dressed while being served by said young man even if he was quite polite!)

I didn't find it too bad, although a little lacking in customer service and sizes. I actually ended up getting my maternity clothes from Pumpkin Patch believe it or not! (originally thought it was just kids clothes).

I found their clothes surprisingly good and not too expensive and just invested in a couple of pairs of pants and 4 or so tops.

Thanks guys.

I got all my stuff for DD#2 from Pumpkin Patch and I am so glad they have some "cool" maternity gear out this time around. I am a SAHM so I don't need the work clothes but don't want to spend the next 8 months looking like I am in my husband clothes either original.gif

So thanks again guys!
