COSMIC MATERNITY

This manufacturer and wholesaler of maternity wear sells its massive range of maternity clothing direct to the public through two outlets. Expect to find some factory seconds, samples and past-season lines on specials racks or in bins reduced by up to 50 per cent off retail prices (up to 70 per cent during twice-yearly sales). Current-season stock is also available at a reasonable full price and at up to 50 per cent off during the sales (these occur roughly in February and July each year). Summer and winter stock is available all year, which is great if you’re travelling. When we last dropped by, fashionable 100 per cent cotton tees were selling for $19.95, breastfeeding tops were from $39.95, business pants were only $39 and Latest Addition pieces were selling below retail prices. Cosmic has lots of pretty fabrics and designs in shirts and skirts, and a great range of jeans to keep you stylish through pregnancy.
