Reason Number 1: OK, so reason number 1 is obviously to keep me, and the few maternity stores that still exist, in business :)
Reason Number 2: To support small business and the Australian Economy because most maternity stores and maternity suppliers are small Australian businesses and much of the stock is still manufactured in Australia.
Reason Number 3: Now here's where there is direct benefit to you. Maternity Wear is so comfortable. It's not as pricey as it used to be and most of it is designed to be worn while breastfeeding as well as pregnancy. In fact, most of it can be worn pregnant or not. So it's a financially clever option.
The alternative for many is buying normal clothes a few sizes bigger, or looking for stretchy garments but I don't understand the logic. Why spend money on ill fitting clothes that most likely won't even get you through a full pregnancy when you can buy clothes designed for the purpose and have the benefit of being able to wear them afterwards while breastfeeding?
As for price, buying cheap crap from Target will not last a full pregnancy. You'll be lucky if it gets you half way and it certainly won't be in any kind of condition suitable for a 2nd or 3rd pregnancy.
I know there are still some expensive designer labels of maternity wear out there but the average price of a top quality garment here at Maternity Revolution is $59.95. That top will last you years and it is one that can be worn while pregnant and while breastfeeding. In fact you don't even have to be pregnant to wear most things.
I'm not a big advocate of the Belly Belt either. Once upon a time when maternity wear was ugly and had big over tummy panels in the front I could understand why people were reluctant to wear them and in the early stages of pregnancy a Belly Belt was an essential maternity wardrobe item but these days the maternity pants are just so comfy and again, you don't have to have a tummy to wear them. So why not buy yourself a few pairs of maternity pants and be comfortable and well dressed as opposed to having this lumpy, uncomfortable contraption hooked up to your normal pants?
Quite seriously the Australian Maternity Industry is struggling and if you don't support us we will disappear and I know that many of you don't want that because the customers we do have are always so grateful that we exist. We are always asked by customers to open new stores around the country which I would love to do if more people patronised the stores that currently exist. We are told our service is the best and we know this is true by all the good reviews we have. To my knowledge we have not received even one bad review.
So if we have great stock, great prices and great service you need to pay us a visit. We are online or we have a huge store on Brisbane's Northside at 1/124 South Pine Rd, Brendale. Plus, we are open 7 days.
We don't just do maternity wear either. We also stock maternity bras and support garments. Yes we also do plus size maternity clothes up to size 26 and larger cup bras up to an H cup.
By the way, if you don't believe me that Maternity Wear stores are becoming extinct, visit your local Westfield and see what you find. There are no more specialty maternity stores in the big centres. Pumpkin Patch no longer do maternity wear, Mothercare went broke, Room 4 Two went broke too. David Jones and Myers haven't bothered with maternity wear for years and I am told that Big W have dropped maternity wear this season. That leave KMart and Target but there range is going to bring you to tears unless you like shapeless, black, t-shirt fabric garments.
So come on people! BUY MATERNITY WEAR from a proper maternity wear store....NOW! (Pretty please)
PS. There seems to be a demand for second hand maternity wear on sites like Gumtree so you can always sell your clothes when you are finished with them. (Not your cheap crap though because that will have fallen apart within a few weeks).
Thanks for listening.
