A Guide to Maternity-wear in Prague

Along with the many joys of pregnancy, at some point comes the unavoidable realization that your trousers no longer button up, and your t-shirts simply don’t provide sufficient coverage for your fast-expanding waistline! It’s time to get a few essential maternity-wear items, but where do Prague’s mothers-to-be find the bargains? Here’s a short guide to těhotenská móda stockists in the city, with options to suit most budgets.

Counting the Crowns:

Bearing in mind that pregnancy is such a temporary state, with many mothers only requiring specially adapted clothing for a few months, perhaps the cheapest option is not to rush out and buy a new wardrobe at all, but instead to temporarily adapt your existing clothes with a clever device such as the Belly Belt which attaches to your normal jeans/trousers/shirts/skirts and extends the waistline to accommodate your growing bump. I found it listed on www.amazon.de (along with other similar products) for less than 30 EUR including delivery to Prague.
