Years ago women less than 5’ 4” had to wear ill fitting oversized maternity wear made for the taller woman. It can still be tricky to find petite maternity wear but without doubt, things are nowhere near as hard as they used to be. Today petite maternity wear actually DOES exist!

Many of the major high street stores now have petite maternity wear AND they come baring price tags that everyone can afford: Which is a big plus because when you need maternity wear you are in the process of working your way down a huge list of ‘things to by’ for the newbie on the way! So the last thing you need is to have to choose between comfort and economy.

For the first few months most women can get away with loosening this and letting out that… but eventually the time WILL come when you need proper petite maternity wear. Stretchable cotton and lycra designs are a good choice because they also allow for that little bit extra give.

Today it is possible to be fashionable, petite and pregnant! And when you are having a queasy and quirky day putting on a nice outfit can make you feel that much better.

Here you will find all the best places to get petite maternity wear and find out a little more about what I think of the ranges they have in each shop.

Fun Mum

Fun Mum provides the best maternity clothing for the cool mum to be. Their petite and tall maternity ranges cover all the key peices you would want in your wardrobe.

Mothercare

With a few classic peices in petite mothercare lets petite pregnant ladies not only get their new clothes but also all the other things you need to buy for the baby.

Dorothy Perkins

If like me you’re a die hard DP fan then you’ll be pleased to know that they do some of their petite trousers in 3 lengths, short, regular and long.

Marks and Spencers

OK then, these guys don’t have petite sizes, but they do do their trousers in Medium and Long length so you might be lucky. Either way they have a great petite range.

Remember… you will only find sites featured on Yo Shorty who have a petite range or varying leg lengths in their clothing ranges.
