Introducing our new & elegant maternity support tights

We're really excited to announce the launch of our new maternity support tight, which gives the support of 70 denier tights, with the appearance of a sheer 40 denier.

We know that many expectant mums find it difficult to source good basics that offer quality, support and style but don’t cost a fortune.  Our new, black 552 maternity tights are perfect for wearing with work clothes, for dressing up for special occasions or a night out with friends.

Our chief designer, Freda Scholey, says of the new tights: “New technology means expectant mothers no longer need to wear old fashioned support tights.  The 552 combines both the classic style you’d expect from a sheer tight with the support you need during your pregnancy.”

The black, 40 denier, 552 range is available in sizes medium and large and is priced at £9.00.

We’re enjoying a relatively mild spell of weather for mid-November, but let’s be honest ladies – it’s hardly tropical – and certainly no weather for bare legs (the corned beef look doesn’t do anyone any favours). 

Don’t worry – we’re here to ensure you can take your summer maternity wardrobe right through autumn and winter with a range of fab maternity tights, designed to keep you supported, comfortable and warm!  They won’t break the bank, will update your look and means you don’t have to fork out lots of money on clothes that you’re only going to wear for a limited time.

Just for a bit of fun, we’d love to hear maternity clothing stories.  Favourites, big mistakes, clothing mishaps, anything you lived in, anything you couldn’t wait to see the back of, ceremonial throw-outs, keep-me’s, shopping trips, best buys, worst buys...whatever, we’d love to hear them all.

If you're a blogger, please write a blog post about maternity clothes or underwear  and send it to us by 30 November (send all entries to michelle@peekaboocoms.co.uk). We will host a blog carnival on this blog featuring all the posts. Whatever you like - as long as it is about maternity clothes.

And if you would like to run a fun competition on your blog to protect the nation from the sight of corned beef legs and need a prize or are pregnant yourself and would like a sample to review, we have a limited number of maternity tights we can give away as prizes. Please contact us on the email address given above to make arrangements.

Add maternity tights to your Autumn wardrobe - and stay comfortable

You're pregnant. It's turned chilly. And you have a really important meeting at work today that requires you to dress to impress. You've invested in some fab maternity skirts, wrap-around tops and to-die-for boots, but this cool autumn breeze means your legs are going to get cold. The solution: tights.

The problem is that most regular tights either won't fit over your bump or if worn below your bump, simply roll down with embarrassing consequences. Maternity tights are the solution.

Emma-Jane has a range of matenity tights, all of which fit over the bump with expanding waistbands and shaped feet. The top selling style (553) comes in black or natural skin colour, 20 denier with a slight glossy sheen and has a special gusset that supports the bump, without being restrictive. And at just £4 a pair they're definitely worth investing in for comfort at the office.

We also have 40 denier, maternity support tights, footless tights and our supersoft maternity tights which are available in black, chocolate, mid-blue and purple to make a fashion statement!

This is what our customers have said about our tights:
"Very comfortable, perfect, loved them"
"Lovely. I really like the fit."

"I was very pleased to come across these maternity tights as other brands seem so expensive. The tights are very comfortable, and are a good fit. I can imagine that the one size fits all does not work for everyone, but at this kind of price, I was very happy with the product.

And read this review by Sarah Powell from Parentdish:
"The Emma Jane tights are very comfortable indeed, with a good-sized, shaped panel for the bump (I'm still wearing them at 36 weeks), and a lovely smooth feel. The black is properly black, even in colour, and did make my swollen calves feel slimmer and more shapely, which was a real result. They're a very good price too at £5.

I have two small niggles with these tights; one pair did go through at the toe quite quickly, and also some of the elastic snapped at the waistband, though I'm fairly certain that's because I washed them at too high a temperature by mistake. My overall verdict, though, is to definitely give them a go, I think you'll like them."

So just because you're pregnant, doesn't mean you can't work those fabulous Autumn fashions. Get some tights and strutt your stuff!
