Sizes

How do I know if I've got the right size?

Normally you can simply order your usual size, since all our clothes are designed with extra space and stretch for your growing/shrinking bump.

However, us pregnant mums often think we've put on extra weight, so you may want to check our sizing notes below, for extra peace of mind.

Remember, you can always order a few sizes and return those that don't fit. UK returns are free!

Guides for Individual Designers

Amoralia

Amoralia nightwear and swimwear is sized as follows:

Size Equivalents
 Small  UK 10-12 with a medium sized bump (20-28 weeks)
 Medium  UK 12-14 with a medium sized bump (20-28 weeks)
 Large  UK 14-16 with a big bump (28-34 weeks)
 Extra Large  UK 16-18 with a full term bump (30-38 weeks)

Bellybutton

Bellybutton clothing is sized on Cecily Plum either in German sizes with their UK equivalents, or extra-small to extra-large with UK dress size equivalents. Our experience is that Bellybutton clothes are rarely returned for being to big or too small, so they are sized as you might expect.

Boob Design

Boob clothing is usually sized from extra-small to extra large, and we provide the UK dress size equivalents on the item pages.  We rarely have Boob clothing returned for being too small or too large, so these sizes are what you might expect.

Carriwell

Our Carriwell breastfeeding tops are sized from XS to XXL and we've given the UK size equivalent on their webpages.  We've found Carriwell tops to be true to size with extra room at the bust.

Dote

Dote clothing is sized from S to XL. The table below is from Dote's own sizing information with our recommendation for a UK size equivalent.

Dote Size Bust up to Waist up to Hips up to Approx UK size
Small 36" 27" 36" 10
Medium 38" 29" 38" 12
Large 38" 31" 40" 14
Extra-Large 40" 33" 42" 16

Our experience is that Dote clothes are true to size, but less generous in the bust (in their more fitted designs) than our other brands.

Fertile Mind (Six Way Dress)

The sizing on the 6 Way Dress refers to the size of the band around the bust, and the following is a rough guide based on the designer's advice:

 Size Equivalents
 Small  30-34" A-C
 Medium  32-34" C-DD
 Large  34-38" DD-E
 Extra Large  38-40" E+

BUT, due to the thoughtful design, we find that a broad range of shapes and sizes can wear this dress. The band around the bust is very elastic, and the important size is the total around your bust and back. So a larger cup size, accompanied by a smaller back size can easily wear one of these sizings. For example, a 34GG had no trouble comfortably wearing the size large. 

If you in doubt, please contact us, or order a couple of sizes and return any size that doesn't fit. Remember returns are free in the UK!

Harry Duley

All Harry Duley clothes stretch to fit extremely well. The high lycra content in the cotton knit helps clothes to maintain a snug, shapely fit throughout pregnancy. The quality of the fabric means that Harry Duley clothes also retain their shape very well, and so continue to fit as bump shrinks back down again. 

Harry Duley clothes work on a size S to XL scheme, which we have translated into 10-16 on our webpages. The trouser lengths are as follows (in inches):

 Size Equivalents
 Small  32"  10
 Medium  32.5"  12 
 Large  33"  14 
 Extra Large  34"  16

Hotmilk

Hotmilk nightwear is sized from extra-small to extra-large and we give UK dress size equivalents on the webpages.  Our experience of Hotmilk is that the clothes are generally sized as you might expect, but that the bust is not especially generous.  The sizing guidance we have from Hotmilk is as follows.

Camisoles and Nightdresses:

Hotmilk Size UK Bra Size
Small 32 C D
Medium 34 D DD
Large 36 DD E
Extra Large 38 E F
Extra Extra Large 40 F FF

Melba Maternity

Melba Maternity clothes are sized in either UK dress sizes or XS to XXL, in which case we give the dress size equivalents.  Melba clothes are generous so if you're in between sizes we advise you to try a size down.

Milker clothes are sized XS to XXL and we've given the UK dress size equivalents from 8 to 18.  Our experience with this brand is that the clothes are sized as you might expect (in fact we get very very few returns at all).

Ripe Maternity

Ripe Maternity clothes are sized from XS to XXL, and we've given the UK dress size equivalents on the webpages (8 to 18).  Our experience with Ripe clothing is that the sizing is as customers expect with very few returns due to sizing problems.

Womama

Womama nightwear is sized using dress sizes 8 to 18, we've found that these tend to be generous, so if you're between sizes we recommend you try the smallest.
