What maternity clothes have you tried? For pants: the ones with stretch sides might be up your alley. They're the same as pre-preg sizes but have stretchy material for expansion on the sides. Or, you could also try a band like this on your regular pants, unzipped.
For tops, I was wearing maternity shirts with ruched sides even when I barely had a bump (and it's still not huge at 24 weeks). They're still fitted in my regular pre-preg size, but just have room to grow. I have some from Destination Maternity, and others from Target.
Fist - she shoudl 100% get a belly band. the bellaband is somewhat pricey, but offers lots of support. They make one out of thinner material that sells at target for cheaper, adn there are tons of people who make and sell them on ebay.
This is perfect for initial can't-fit-into-pants stage, because you leave the pants unbuttoned, wear this over the top, and it looks like a layered-tank. I also wore them every day during the last trimester, to stop what I called "belly cleavage" where the belly was exposed underneath since my shirt hung straight down. You couldn't see my belly because the shirts were wrong, but its not comfortable to have your stomach be exposed to air at work... it just feels wrong.
Also, these are pretty great for after the baby is born but before you are back in your regular clothes again.
Second, I loved Gap maternity pants, because I wear "longs" and that was very hard to find. I actually got some really great maternity pants on ebay, which I highly recommend. You can get some cute stuff that is in style but people don't want to hold on to because they never plan on wearing it again. Consignment shops also - check the local kids resale shop because those often have a maternity section as well.
hahah. This is amazing. kudos to you!
Just wanted to reco bellabands if you haven't seen them. They extended the life of everything I own that zips/buttons until almost the last week of pregnancy.
