No matter what you buy, it will be crap -- the problem is, it's not cheap -- no matter how crappy.
What's the place that's on 70th and Madison? While not gorgeous, it was slightly less crappy than most of the stores. One thing I wore ALL THE TIME (and yes, like baltassoc says, you're excused from having to have a vast wardrobe) was a CK regular-clothing straight skirt with an elastic waistband. When not pregnant, it reaches my ankles. As my pregnancies progressed, the skirt got shorter and shorter.
Barney's has maternity clothing -- but that and the store on 70th and Madison (why am I blanking on the name?!?) is one of those places that seems to be only for those types who don't get fat all over (sadly, I am unable to count myself among those ranks) and their biggest sizes didn't last 'til the end for pregnancy subsequent to my first.
