is motherhood maternity the only choice? are there any maternity boutiques? second-hand or consignment? any online shoppers? do you wear normal oversized clothes?
Dear M.,
The Central Penn Parent magazine usually has ads for consignment & second-hand shops. (www.centralpennparent.com) Also, I'd recommend www.yellowpages.com & searching for consignment or second-hand shops in Harrisburg. I believe there is a Wears Like New on Union Deposit near I-83. Other than that, I'm not real familiar with Harrisburg anymore.
I bought a lot of my maternity clothes online. eBay is a great source for bargains (NWT's are my favorite items!). Of course, that didn't keep me from shopping at Motherhood, Bon Ton, Boscov's, JC Penney & Sears. I even drove to King of Prussia to shop at a A Pea in the Pod when I really wanted to splurge on myself. I loved my maternity clothes & crazy as it sounds, I used to miss wearing them, but I'm over that because I count myself among the very fortunate to be blessed with two happy, healthy children & don't plan to have any more.
Have you thought about trying New 2 You? or Tomorrow's Child? I'm not sure how many there are.....but I do know that there is one of each on the Carlisle Pike. New 2 You is right about the corner of Carlisle Pike and Sporting Hill Road and Tomorrow's Child is right behind the Applebee's on the Pike next door to Curves! Hope this helps!
I live in York, and I bought my maternity clothes at consignment stores, JC Penny's has nice maternity clothes, and yard sales. I shop online a lot, but did not for maternity clothes. I am also a mother of 3. Your magazine sounds interesting, I would love to hear more about it.
