Bebes have a good selection. They have a shop in Kamppi but I see you're far away from Helsinki. They do have a web shop though : http://www.bebes.fi/kauppa/index.php?cPath=23

Thanks Amandine. I was actually at Bebes a few weeks ago but they didn't have anything really suitable except one suit and it was really pricey and didn't really fit well (I'm too short I think). I will be in a situation where I'll need a suit but it's only for that one occasion and none of my other (some virtually new) don't fit anymore... sigh. Oh well the search continues...

Did you look on huuto or on ebay? I was in the same situation. We were invited to a wedding (my sister-in-law so we had to be there!). The wedding was a day after my due date, I thought that I would have had the baby by then. I ended up paying for a new outfit in Bebes the day before cos I couldn't fit in anything I had and it wasn't very classy... Oh the joy! My labour eventually started 30mn after we got home from the wedding!

On huuto if you search Mamalicious or Esprit you might find something. Good luck!

in Lindex and Seppala they always have it.

H&M would be a safe bet. They have a dedicated maternity wear line and then there's always their plus-size section.

Lindex stopped their line. Didn't think of Seppälä though. H&M doesn't have mama business suits :( will check huuto out Thanks!

Yes they do!! It depends on which H&M you go to as each one caters to different styles..
