Tall Maternity Clothes?

[Sassu]

I need some maternity clothes for tall girls (5'10"). I know that The Gap has some...anybody know any other good spots to look?
TIA :goodvibes:

i found that some of the motherhood secret belly fits were long enough (i am 5'9) but others were a tad short if wearing boots...if you can try them on before buying (or ask for inseem i guess) then they may work.

Ann Taylor's maternity line used to include an option for Tall (don't know if they still do.) When I was pregnant with DD, I got all my professional clothes for there. Everyday clothes I got at Motherhood and their stuff was all just a bit too short. I took them to the dry cleaners and had their seamstress let all the hems out to make them long enough. I think she charged $10 per pair, so it was worth it.

Old Navy has tall maternity pants. Everything else is too short on me or way too expensive.

I got all my pants at the Gap and A Pea in the Pod. I loved Joe's Jeans!! They were pretty pricey, but worth it IMO. GL :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone! I just ordered some pants from Gap because that's what I wear when I'm not pregnant. I'll give them a shot. I'll take a look at your other recommendations too - thanks again :goodvibes:

I haven't found a good solution, I'm 5"10. I can find pants but I find the shirts seriously lacking. I don't like the big preggo shirts I prefer fitted options, at 26 weeks many of my maternity shirts already show my belly. This is my favorite tank so far

It is soo nice soft and stretchy, I have it in a Small and even though it is not maternity it actually fits over the belly in the tall size.

I agree with that. I have a few shirts that fit me all the way through but at the end of my first pregnancy I ended up wearing several of DH's shirts. Which I don't prefer but I didn't have many other options! I found that t-shirts and tanks worked better for me because they were stretchy. I could not find a cotton button down that would fit but I don't wear things like that much anyway, so no biggie. I do like my maternity t-shirts/tanks for everyday wear when I'm not pregnant. :giggle: It seems I can never find any shirts long enough even when I'm not pregnant so my maternity tees got lots of use after DD arrived - they were in my regular rotation. I didn't have to dig them out when I got my bfp!

Yep! Hubby claims that tummy peek is ok but I don't want to look like a trucker!

I have the same problem postpartum, I get skinny but with gigantic nursing boobs still nothing fits!

5' 10 1/2 " and found the same thing. I just wore flats alot during my pregnancy, rather than my heels. :)
