 |
|
I'm not expecting but a friend of mine is, and she wanted to know if she is able to buy larger size clothes for her growing belly soon.
She claims that she has been having trouble finding oversized clothing, the ones she has found she does not want to be tight.
thanks.
oh and not just clothes but everything BIG basically (undergarments) |

| Hi. I had no trouble finding tops to wear or dresses in many stores. The trouble was with pants - I took my jeans to a tailor's and had them fit elastic in the sides. If your friend does that she'll be able to wear them up until the baby comes, although she'll probably need a "belly belt" (a stretchy tube of fabric to hold her pants up over her belly). |

Is she looking for preggy clothes or just large sizes??
There is a difference. |

| Old Navy has maternity clothes. Not sure if they ship to Korea though. |

| You can use the search function- I know Peony contributed a post with a lot of Korean websites that sell maternity clothes. I bought some things from J.C Penney- they ship overseas and the prices are reasonable. |

Seoul is a big town.... but...
She can buy maternity clothes in any of the major department stores like Home Plus or E-mart. The selection is usually limited to a 1 or 2 racks of outer wear and 1 rack of underware.
She can also get maternity clothes at the Childrens Mall (building name) at Namdaemun market.
Just about every baby supply store has a small selection of maternity outer wear including dresses, slacks and jeans with adjustable preggy panels in them. |
