A reviewer said: "I bought these in an XL at 28 weeks pregnant, usually a size 12 but nearer to a 14 now plus tummy! I love them! They're so comfy, plenty of room for me and bump. They're made out of a crepe fabric which is reasonably thick, because they have some elastic in them they get baggier the more you wear so loose shape but tighten up after a warm wash. They're not full length on me so I've rolled them up (I'm 5.7) u0026 as some reviews have mentioned the button holes are just a thin slit but I just thread the straps threw twice."

- Super comfy for lounging around the house
- High waisted
Cons

Where can I buy a pair of maternity dungarees?
Itching to get your hands on a pair? Just check out any common fashion retailer like ASOS or H&M to grab a chic pair of denim or cotton dungarees. These fashion stores usually have their own brand of maternity ranges.
Look out for ones that have adjustable buttons or stretchy fabrics so you can use them throughout your entire pregnancy - even after your pregnancy if you want to!
What's the best way to style dungarees?
The options are endless when you decide what to pair your maternity dungarees with, but here at Mother&Baby, we like to keep things casual and classic. Think a slogan t-shirt with a pair of white trainers. If you have a pair of black or denim dungarees, you can add a chic twist by pairing them with a Breton striped top underneath or try adding a scarf to tie your hair back for an effortless look.
The most important thing, however, is that mum-to-be is as comfortable as possibly can be. Layers will help keep you cool if you need to shed them during a hot flush or throw on a chunky knit if it's closer to winter. Dungarees are a staple item for your maternity wardrobe all year round, so you can stretch the imagination when it comes to styling and adding your flourishes.
