I love that not only are your clothes snuggly comfortable AND good looking BUT that you also appreciate that not every pregnant woman is a skinny minny and cater for us too! Thanks very much for that :)
- Susie Anderson (26th July, 2009)
I love it how the clothes are designed to fit a womans pregnant body
- Denise (2nd April, 2009)
i love mobea products and i love the new website look, it is professional looking, great job.
- Paula (30th March, 2009)
From my last pregnancy, all of the Mobea items I wore on a daily basis were by far in the best condition by the time I finished wearing them, all the other brands were rag material. This pregnancy I will still be wearing my used Mobea clothes and buying a lot more of the new styles!
- Natalie (27th March, 2009)
love the new look especially the superfine New Zealand Merino items, it wonderfully soft against my skin and extremely warm and snugly
- CK (27th March, 2009)
I love your cotton lounge pants, they are soo comfortable! Especially in the latter stages of pregnancy when its really difficult to get comfy.
- Leah (27th March, 2009)
I LOVE Mobea - I feel so feminine and good in everything I have brought from Mobea - gets a 10 out of 10 from me!!!
- Sasha (26th March, 2009)
Your flexi Merino trousers are simply wonderful! I have been struggling for months to find some black pregnancy trousers that were comfortable and elegant for work. I could only find trousers that were cutting me under the belly and that were leaving you with very little room for the bump. Ladies, do not hesitate as these flexi Merino trousers are seriously fabulous and extremely versatile! I will definitely order from Mobea again.
- Helene (21st January, 2009)
Happy New Year! From all of us at MOBEA, we hope you have a had a relaxing start to 2009. Our normal office and delivery hours have now resumed. As always, please contact us if you have any queries.

Hi everyone, our final TRIPLE DIP sale alert will go out this morning. Once again the sale alerts have been extremely popular with some styles going out for less that cost! Some of the stock is now extremely limited and will not be available again so if you have had your eye on something now is the time to snap it up for a bargain! - Happy shopping, from all of us at MOBEA...
- Justine (10th December, 2008)
Today I received my merino trousers, just wanted to let you know they are a great fit and I think they will be very hard to take off... more comfortable than my track-pants!
This will be one item of maternity wear I will never lend or sell and am likely to be wearing these way after the baby is born.
Thanks also for such quick delivery.
- Katherine (7th November, 2008)
I've been on the website numerous times but never purchased anything BUT then I won a $50 voucher, fantastic! So I bought the Asian Inspired Dress, which is so comfy and flattering. I've had loads of comments on it and have forwarded this website to as many pregnant girls as possible. Thanks Justine and the rest of the Mobea team!
- Bridget (14th August, 2008)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mobea!! Congratulations on 4 years! My package just arrived from the first sale, it feels like it's my birthday!! Thank you so much, I love your clothes and style. I can't wait till the second sale. Good luck for the next 4 years.
- Tania (11th August, 2008)

- Justine (11th July, 2008)
Wow! I only ordered on line last night and my parcel was here today! Thankyou for your super speedy delivery! I just love your styles, beautiful drape and quality fabrics make for a very styley look. I will definitely be shopping from your website again, it was so easy and I'm delighted with my garments. Thanks for a very pleasant shopping experience.
- Alison (5th June, 2008)
I was desperately in need of some black pants but was finding it hard to find a pair that draped nicely. I stumbled across the MOBEA site and even though I'm not pregnant yet, I was encouraged by other forum comments and decided to try out the MOBEA Suit Trousers - I absolutely love them! They are so comfy and look great! I'm now saving up for the Flexi Merino Trouser. Thanks heaps MOBEA!!
- Tania (20th May, 2008)
Thanks so much
The order arrived today!! less than 24 hours. By far the best online purchase experience I have had!
- Rachel (17th April, 2008)
I love mobea! What a breath of fresh air it was to discover your range. I was able to team some of my normal wardrobe with the a-line and pencil skirt for work and always felt comfortable and professional. And now that I've finished work I can't get out of my merino pants - they're devine. Keep producing great stuff...I'm certainly going to keep spreading the word.
- Tracey (15th April, 2008)
Thank you Justine for your wonderful clothes! I'm only 20 weeks pregnant but have been wearing Mobea for the last three years! A friend put me onto the merino pants and they are THE most comfortable trousers I own. I now have about 8 different pieces from the range and they make me feel stylish and comfortable while my body changes before my eyes!! I love the range so thank you!!
- Sarah (11th April, 2008)
I loved my Mobea clothes while I was pregnant and have loved that I feel so good in them while my baby tummy continues to recede (who know it would take so long???) I'd love to see more breastfeeding tops though - they have become essential now!
- Katie (7th April, 2008)
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic clothes, super speedy delivery (next day to Akl!!) and helpful assistance on sizing when phoning. Thanks Mobea, I feel like a super stylish yummy mummy to be x
- Wendy (7th April, 2008)
Hi there, just a quick note from a "MOBEA Man". My wife loves your clothes and wears them all the time, I think she looks fantastic anyway but she always tells me how comfortable and nice your clothes are to wear. I like it how her MOBEA clothes show off her great pregnant shape - thanks and keep up the good work!
- Craig (4th April, 2008)
Hi everyone, well it's been a busy few months! Lots of changes on our website with FREE delivery and our new MULTIBUYS section. As we have been moving over the last few days (out of the Retail Suite in Wellington) we have experienced a few glitches with phone lines and internet so we apologise if you have had any difficulty getting in touch with us. We are happy to say though that we are all up and running smoothly now so we look forward to hearing from you soon!
- Justine (4th April, 2008)
I have ordered both on-line and by telephone and both services have been outstanding. I found when I contacted the store I was given excellent advice which was friendly and accurate. I have 2 Flexi A-line skirts and 2 runched sleeveless tops. The skirts are the most comfortable items of clothing I have ever worn. They have seen me through my pregnancy from pre-bump to date (7 months gone now). About to order the lounge pants to complete my wardrobe to see me through end of pregnancy. Love Mobea and recommend to all those who need a stylish maternity wardrobe. Many thanks.
- Rachael (3rd April, 2008)
Finding Mobea has been the greatest fashion discovery during my first pregnancy - I enjoy being able to dress in current fashions that flatter my changing form... The quality products, efficient service and helpful team all add to a great shopping experience!
- Natalie (3rd April, 2008)
Thanks Mobea for my new summer 2007/08 wardrobe. Unlike most of your customers I am not pregnant and still love your styles. They are comfortable, stylish and suit all body types. My first shopping spree with Mobea during 2006, I was a size 16 and your styles suited my shape, were flattering to areas I wanted to hide and very comfortable to wear. I am now a 12 and have replaced a few of the larger sizes with smaller versions and your styles still suit me. I am a big fan of the Merino Pants and the Asian Shift Dress. I especially like the fact you have a core range you do not delete every season. I hate it when you find a fab dress or pants, wear them to death and can never replace them becasue they were "last seasons" release. Keep up the great designs I will be back for my winter wardrobe...
- Tayne (20th November, 2007)
Have been wearing the fab Mobea ruched kimono tops & a-line skirt since my bump first appeared. Such comfy, wearable clothes that look and feel great. Love it how they grow with the body. Just wish I could afford to buy everything in the range!
- Amanda (15th November, 2007)
Thank-you all very much at Mobea, I don't know what I ould have done if Ihadn't of found you. I wore your collection for work through my whole pregnancy. It was so comfortable and very flattering for me a fist time mum. I can't wait to get pregnant again so can get the latest collection. Hikitia - Whakatane
- Hikitia (1st August, 2007)
Thank you very much for the help, suggestions and service that my friends and i received when shopping at your shop over the weekend. it was by far the most positive shopping experience i have had since becoming pregnant. the clothes are very well made, reasonably priced and make you feel great. thank you so much!
- Bridget Dryden (5th June, 2007)
Hi Jillian, the Survival Kit choices will stay as they are at this stage, we will keep you updated if they do change. It's great to hear your feedback and we know that you'll get the same well wearing qualities out of any other pieces you decide to buy. All the best with No. 2!
- (26th April, 2007)
Hi there,
I would like to order a survival kit, and I was wondering if any of the new styles will be included. I really want the merino trousers, the kimono top and the new scoop neck top. I would also like to order the merino skirt.
I had a pair of the merino trousers during my first pregnancy and they were heavenly! I lived in them till they literally fell apart. Congratultions on creating such simple yet gorgeous maternity wear.
- Jillian (23rd April, 2007)
Dear Justine and team, I wanted to thank you very much for your wonderful maternity wear. I have the ruched sleeveless top, wrap halter top, flexi merino trouser and flexi A line skirt. I lived in these for most of my pregnancy and yet still loved them to the end! I found I could wear them even before my belly popped out as well as long after other maternity wear no longer covered me. I found I felt both comfortable (especially in the trousers) and well put together (my green sleevless top would pick me up even on my most ugh days and I can also tell you that the skirt when worn as a dress, five months pregnant held it's own at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas :-) If/when I'm pregnant again I'll stock up with more Mobea and just live in that from start to finish!
- Emily (6th March, 2007)
Thanks so much Mobea. I have shopped on line and in the Wellington store. The store is great, a lovely relaxed place to try on. Your clothes are so comfy and I feel stylish and dressed up at work which is great.Thanks heaps
- Toni (20th October, 2006)
I purchased a Elegant Drape Dress and its absolutly STUNNING!!! Soo many comments on how "WOW" I looked. Definatly helps you feel georgous when you think you look like a hefalump at 6 months pregnant. Very excellent service, received goods promptly. Highly recommend to all mums to be!!!
- Christine (3rd October, 2006)
Love the clothing lines, especially for those with a little extra weight on! Love that the clothes are trendy, not just maternity!
- Kathryn (3rd October, 2006)
I received my order yesterday, thanks for the quick and friendly service! I just wanted to say how much I love the Merino Nursing Cami! The fabric is so soft and comfy and I even feel stylish while breastfeeding my 3 week old daughter (which is no mean feat!). I also ordered the Ruched Sleeveless Top which is soo flattering on my post-baby body (and also great for feeding). It's so nice to know that Mobea is an option even after my pregnancy as I just love your stuff - THANK YOU!
- Angela (21st September, 2006)
I need to thank Mobea for having such amazing maternity wear and fantastic service! I received my order overnight and love everything, whats even better is that it all fits perfectly! The merino pants are awesome and the high neck and rouched kimono tops are beautiful! Thanks Mobea!!! Love you!
- Michele (7th July, 2006)
Yes, Citizen of Humanity do maternity wear jeans and I did come across some on Ebay once.
- Tracey (28th June, 2006)
Hi Kimberley, we don't actually do Jeans as part of the MOBEA collection, I have heard that EGG do a great pair. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
- Justine (28th June, 2006)
Hi i was wondering if you stocked jeans. If not can you reccomend a great pair of maternity jeans? thanks kimberley
- kimberley (26th June, 2006)
I purchased the merino wool pants a few weeks back, & they are unbelievably comfortable & stylish... if only all maternity clothes were like this! I highly recommend them as a 'must have' in your winter maternity wardrobe! - Janine (2 May 2006)
- Janine (2nd May, 2006)
I just wanted to say how fantastic I think the merino wool pants are - they are the most comfortable pants ever! I have been wearing them since I purchased them at 27 weeks, and now at 36 weeks they are still my fave most comfortable pants! Both dressed up for work & wearing around home, and the great thing about them is I willl still wear them once I have given birth as they dont 'look' like maternity pants. Awesome! Thank you so much mobea!!
- Lisa (19th April, 2006)
I recieved my dress today, which I have purchased for a wedding, I am so wrapped with it.. I am so glad that Mobea does such stylish maternity wear, it makes me feel like a million dollars again...
- Debra (8th March, 2006)
Hi there. I wanted to ask if anyone could recommend a great pregnancy book? There are so many that I'm overwhelmed! Thanks!
- Emily (15th February, 2006)
Dear Mobea, thank you for designing such flattering maternity clothes. I have just purchased the ruched kimono top and its just so flattering to my 6th month bump and comfortable too! Thank you.
- Sheena Saunders (6th January, 2006)
Hi Melissa, in response to your question, The Wrap Halter Top is a fantastic style and if you don't want to go without a bra then I say wear one! If Sarah Jessica Parker can do it then so can we :) With the deep cross-over front, it can give easy access for breast feeding and if you want to dress things up a little why not coordinate your bra with your outfit - wear a coloured bra with the same coloured accessories. Have fun with it and maybe later down the track you might want to ditch the bra for a a strapless boob tube, the Flexi Halter Tube is great for a little extra support... All the best!
- Justine (9th December, 2005)
I love the wrap halter neck top - but what do people wear under it? I need an industrial strength bra when pregnant and at the moment I am both pregnant and breast-feeding so going bra-less isn't an option. I would love to wear the top but don't see how it would work.
- melissa (7th December, 2005)
First time Mum-to-be, I purchased a survival kit a few weeks ago. I would recommend this to anyone, in particular, the a-line skirt. I live in it and the neat thing about it, you can wear it longer if you wish & dress it up or down. So versatile & a must have in your 'pregnany' wardrobe! The ruched tops are marvellous too. So flattering! Thanks Mobea
- Fiona (6th December, 2005)
I had to write and say thank you for the trousers that arrived today. The Flexi Merino Trouser are THE most comfortable and stylish maternity pants that I have worn/tried on! I now have a pair of light comfortable pants to wear and I was beginning to think they didn't exist!! You are a god send! Thank you mobea! To all the pregnant women out there - buy these, you won't regret it!
- Arifah (8th November, 2005)
Just to let you all know MOBEA will be hosting a series of MOBEA Suites - an opportunity to come and try on the collection, have some light refreshments and a bit of fun. The first ones will be held in Wellington on 26 and 27 Oct between 4pm and 7pm at . Please email suites@mobea.co.nz if you would like to attend or if you would like a MOBEA Suite held at a location near you - We look forward to seeing you!
- Justine (13th October, 2005)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for having clothes that make me feel sexy, classy and fantastic. I just wish I found you when I was pregnant with my daughter and not just with this pregnancy. It is so wonderful to be able to wear clothes that accenuate my curves but also make me feel so gorgeous! Keep up the good work. I'd even think about having another baby once this ones here just so i have an excuse to buy more!
- Melanie (14th September, 2005)
I just wanted to say thanks... got my order today (I only ordered it yesterday) and we have a rural address!! The clothes fit perfectly and are really comfortable. Wish I had them last time I was pregnant.
- Joanne (5th September, 2005)
Well, we've had a great response to the MOBEA collection so far and I have received some good questions that I thought I would post here in case any of you are thinking along similar lines... Q - Are you coming out with a Spring/Summer range? I like your cropped pants but am thinking they might be a bit too warm for this period? A - the MOBEA collection is designed to be worn all year round. As you will have seen the pants are made from Merino/Lycra, it may seem surprising but this fabric is very cool in summer. Merino breaths brilliantly so it keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. I was sampling this range towards the end of my pregnancy in December and I found the pants to be wonderful and cool. More styles will be added to the collection and they too will be designed to be transitional so you can mix them with your existing wardrobe, wear them on their own or layer them for extra warmth. The crop pants are perfect for summer but don't forget you can take advantage of the no fuss 14 day return or exchange if need be.
- Justine (4th September, 2005)
Q - It would be nice if you made your clothing in bigger sizes as not all of will fit into a large.
A - You will see by the sizing chart on the website that each size is quite generous in the measurements it covers. Size large is designed to fit up to size 20, the measurements shown are to give you an idea and I have included a + sign after each measurement to indicate there is more room available because of the stretchy fabric. There are some styles that work particularly well for larger sizes, the tops I would recommend would be - the Ruched Kimono Top, the Ruched Sleeveless Top and the High-Neck Kimono. Both of the trousers are good because the Merino/Lycra fabric is so soft and stretchy and the Elegant Drape Dress and A-Line Skirt are also styles that I would suggest. I will continue to post these Q & A's - I hope they help as you are making your MOBEA choices - HAPPY SHOPPING!
- Justine (4th September, 2005)
Thank-you very much for my fantastic order. It arrived today and was packaged beautifully – looked like a special gift had arrived! The clothes are gorgeous
- Kelly (23rd August, 2005)
Congratulations on a wonderful looking range of clothes! I have been waiting for mobea to come a long, believe me! I heard about you from a friend who bought a pair of the merino pants the night of your launch in Wellington and she just raved about them - now it's my turn to have a shop :-). Thanks so much and good luck with it Justine.
Anita - Auckland.
- Anita (15th August, 2005)
It's so exciting to have this collection launched, I really hope you enjoy discovering it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together! - Justine Stuart - Managing Director - MOBEA
