Due Maternity

This review applies to the ONLINE BOUTIQUE ONLY. I have not been in either of the Due stores.
The customer service and return policy stinks! Beware of ordering anything online because it is a HUGE headache to return. And, they will only issue store credit for SALE ITEMS — not just clearance items, but SALE ITEMS. Shopping online is always risky and I’m only willing to take that risk if I believe I can return the item.

My ever expanding belly needs clothes to accomodate it, so I decided to drop in at Due Maternity in Vinings. I had been to the store once before, for a «Meet the Doulas» evening, presented by Lumina Birth. The store is very cute, clean, bright and welcoming and boutique-​y.
My goal was to find a few dresses that I could wear to work and perhaps something casual for weekends. One very friendly and helpful sales lady was working and she asked if I needed help, but let me shop in peace when I said I was just looking.
I ended up asking a few questions and asking for her help. I tried on quite a few things, and she was more than willing to help me evaluate the fit. I am petite to begin with, and as they don’t have petite sizes (as most maternity stores don’t), I thought I would have a hard time finding things that fit well.
She was very helpful in suggesting some white crop leggings (I love leggings!) with a cute top, and she pulled out a dress that had just come in. I ended up getting it, so she steamed if for me while I was trying on other things.
I came away with 3 dresses and the leggings/​top outfit, plus a black cami. I had a 20% coupon but it still came up to over $ 400. Eek! But, I know this is what I will be wearing for the next 3 months and I’m sure I can wear most of it after the baby, too, so I figured it was worth it.
In addition to maternity clothes, Due Maternity also holds seminars and things. I haven’t been to any of the others, just the Meet the Doulas, where I found my doula.
If you want to splurge a bit on very cute, fashionable clothes or money isn’t as much of a consideration, I’d really recommend this place. I only rated it a 3, however, because it is expensive. The sales staff are wonderful though, and everybody loves to talk babies! For someone who doesn’t have a lot of girlfriends here in ATL to gush about baby stuff, it was nice to not feel like I was talking too much about my precious little one.
