I can't seem to find anything online. I'm looking for a 1x, but even the places like Motherhood Maternity that have plus size lines don't seem to have any real outwear...

I never bought a maternity coat and just wore a regular one that was a very boxy cut (swing/cape). It worked up until around 8 months, when I had to wear it unbuttoned. I'm not sure if that would be a practical option for you, though.

Motherhood stuff is crap! Have you considered buying a boat from Macy's or somewhere like that in a plus size? I ended up getting a bigger coat from LL Bean and this panel thing called Make My Belly Fit from Canada. So far, I haven't needed the panel, and I'm 32 weeks, but I'm excited because I can use it when the baby is born to wear the carrier under it.

OP here, just looked up Make My Belly Fit. PP, thank you so much for this. Had been talking to hubby about trying to invent something like this, so glad it already exists. This should be perfect for what I need.

And that's a whole lot cheaper than the Canada export: Modern Eternity 3-in-1 fur-trimmed parka that I've been coveting at $345 (waaay more than I'm wiling to spend).

My husband bought me an XL winter coat at Target when I was pregnant in 2011. We had tried on many many maternity coats in stores and they were awful, bulky, ugly... This coat was on sale because he bought it right after Christmas, and available online. I love it still! I just checked the Target website for you- major sales in outerwear & great selection up to size XXL. Happy Shopping!

Try Target - I got an XL maternity coat there last winter, and they had XXL and up, too. I actually really loved it, I think it was Liz Lange brand.

Haha, PP here. Just wanted to say that this was not me, pure coincidence!
