Advantages: Good quality items.

Disadvantages: Limited range, can be pricey.

When I found out I was pregnant, I trawled the internet looking for mail order catalogues relating to pregnancy & babies. I figured if I was going to be bored for 8.5 months, I may aswell have a bit of reading material to be going on with....!

One of the catalogues I ordered was for Blooming Marvellous. My catalogue arrived promptly & consisted of 2 parts - one catalogue covered baby & nursery, the other covered maternity wear. The range of products wasn't vast, but did comprise a selection of clothing & nusery essentials not seen anywhere else. I really liked a lot of the items in both catalogues, but didn't order anything straightaway, since I'd only just found out I was pregnant.

Since then I have received frequent mailings from the company, and have also regularly checked the company's website. I occasionally receive voucher codes for discounts & free shipping, which have lured me into placing 2 orders with them.

Firstly I ordered a grey vest. Big deal, I hear you cry! But, I wanted a maternity vest that was ruched, but ruched only at the front (meaning the front was much longer tha the back), & this was the cheapest retailer I could find one at. The vest was fantastic - it was SO comfy & became my maternity staple, fitting well throughout my pregnancy due to the shape & lycra content. Looking back, I should have ordered more in different colours, because I realised how hard well-fitting maternity clothes are to come by!

My second purchase was a big fluffy bunny. He was just too cute to resist, & at half price with free delivery I couldn't help myself.

I have read a few bad reviews about Blooming Marvellous, but have to say that my experience with them has been, well, blooming marvellous! The catalogues are modern & 'clean' looking, as is the website. Shopping online is very easy, or you can telephone to place an order. The items I ordered have been good quality at reasonable prices & have been delivered promptly.

Do watch out for the sales though, which happen frequently. Otherwise prices can be a bit on the steep side. Also, it's worth signing up for a catalogue so that you receive further discount codes in the mail.

Summary: can't understand why they get such bad reviews? I must be one of the lucky ones!
