Mimi Maternity

As I have found seriously limited options on the South Shore regarding maternity «fashions» at all, I was thrilled as I stumbled upon Mimi Maternity while at the South Shore Plaza last night. To be very unlike me ;0), I’m going to make a long story short. This store frustrated the bejeepers outta me! Ironically, their sizing is absolutely teeny tiny. For pregnant women. Who already can’t sausage their way into anything.
They carry their own brand of maternity clothes, intimate apparel and sleepwear, and the more upscale «Pea in the Pod» brand. PITP runs extremely small. It makes zip sense to me, but if I had a maternity store, I would make the clothes super-​size, with little tiny numbers attached. But I don’t, so I’ll have to accept the sad fact that PITP pajamas run about $ 80 here, and they don’t carry anything larger than a «large», which is way more like a «small». UGH!
I did find a couple of nursing tanks (sorry for the TMI!) for about $ 25 each, which seemed a little on the pricey side for what they actually are, but priceless in comparison to wearing a hospital gown. Small but cute selection of other pregnancy needs.
I’m giving Mimi Maternity 3 stars for meeting a need for average-​sized pregnant women. (And I wanted to let my South Shore girls know there’s one here!) But if your bra size was larger than a 40D before you were expecting, you’ll be pretty frustrated by their stuff. Trust me. OK, tirade from a 7-​month pregnant lady over. :0)
*I had a super helpful salesgirl trying so hard to show me anything that she thought I could waddle my way into. No such luck, sweet pea. So, so friendly and patient tho!* Thanks, Pamela!
