How do Old Navy plus size jeans fit?

I am a very difficult person to fit. I wear a 24 in some styles and a 26 in some styles. Because I can’t go into the store and try Old Navy’s jeans on, I need to know how they fit. Do they run big/small? If anybody has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

Does anybody know of any stores that are online or otherwise, where I can find decent not horribly expensive plus sized maternity clothing? I know of Motherhood Maternity, which is a little pricey but good, and have recently seen that Old Navy has an online plus size maternity section, but that is all I know of! Please tell me websites or stores. I start back to work in a month (I am a teacher) and have next to nothing. Thanks!

maternity bathing suits?

So I’m a bikini wearing mama… I have 2 kids and am very proud of my beach body… however. THIS summer I will be 7-9 months pregnant with #3. So I was looking at maternity bathing suits. Not a fan of the ones I looked at at Gap and Old Navy. My friend wore her bikini during her pregnancy showing off her belly at 8-9 months pregnant.

I’m wonder what other people think when they see a pregnant women showing the full belly off at the beach? Is it appropriate? Or should I really spend the money and by the maternity suit the covers everything?
I don’t have stretch marks from my other 2 kids… but who knows what can happy with this pregnancy… each one is different!

I am looking for a pair of jeans that fit me well, show off my ass, and have at least a 32 3/4" inseam (but not more than 35"). I am a size 20 with an 18 waist but thick calves. Old Navy’s jeans fit my hips perfectly and usually have a decent length but are too snug from the knee down, even flares. I am willing to spend the money on high end jeans if they are worth it. Any ideas?

Where to find PLUS SIZED Maternity Clothing?

I’m newly pregnant for the first time and I’m a size 20 / 22. Are there any other places aside from JCPennys, Old Navy, and Motherhood Maternity to find clothing?
Neither Torrid nor Target offer plus sized maternity clothing. Thank you for randomly throwing out store names?

Gap/Old Navy employment questions?

Hi I have applied several times online to various different Gap, Gap Kids/baby/maternity, and Old Navy locations. I’m wondering how long it will take for them to call me back if I meet their qualifications, and if they don’t call me back if it’s okay to drop by and visit the hiring manager or to give their store a call?

I was watching The Talk yesterday and the whole audience was made up of pregnant women. I noticed almost every one had on a really bright colored blouse or dress (bright cherry red, bright purple, bright blue, bright yellow, etc.) and some had really pretty and colorful prints. I have scoured through every Motherhood/Destination maternity store and website, and also Macy’s, Sears, Kohls (which all only sell Motherhood brand maternity clothes), Ross, Target, Old Navy, and Burlington (all both in store and online). I have had some luck, but with the exception of their t-shirts at Motherhood and some tops at Ross at Old Navy.com, most everything else in these stores is basically dark and/or muted colors mostly in gray, white, black, dark red, dark plum, dark blue, or muted pink. And it is rare to find something that has more than one or two different colors in it. It is almost summertime and I love bright, vibrant colors. Where are these women finding clothes that don’t look like the same dark, muted, solid-colored maternity clothes I see everywhere?

where to buy maternity clothes? REAAD!!?




we have a target and a walmart here. PLEASE NOTE. this target and walmart doesn’t sell maternity clothes here. we have an old navy, but they don’t sell maternity clothes at this particular location. id have to travel over an hour to get to another target, or to the old navy that sells maternity clothes. I’m getting tired of goodwill shopping, its hard to find pants that fit or shirts in my size.. although i have found a few good ones, its just getting harder now… so if you know of a place that sells CHEAP (around 10 -20/shirt) clothes lettme know [:
i would jst buy them online, but im not big on online shopping, i like to try things on…

our kohls is small (not kidding!) and the ross here doesn’t have maternity. over the winter months, i literally wore leggings with over sized Tshirts to look as dresses… it got very old. and now that its warmer in the day, the humidity kills the nice ocean breeze. its just too hot here for what i have…
well i mean its hard now im 6 weeks away from my due date, and i dont want to spend a lot of money of something that ill be wearing for just 6 weeks… i outgrew everything i previously owned, i jst started to ‘show’ a few weeks ago… i live in mississippi in a small town that hasnt grown back since hurricane katrina… we still have stores in our mall closed from flooding.. still tarps on some houses.. its crazy. there really isn’t anything here… at all… all our stores are ‘mini’ ones that don’t carry maternity. ive tried ross, khols, target, both walmarts, stores in the mall that are open, we don’t have outlet malls, or a ‘motherhood’ type of store… its mostly beaches and restaurants, casinos … thats it.

I live in the GTA area and was recently in an Erin Mills town Center Old navy and they no longer sell maternity.

I need cheap maternity clothes and it turns out my local walmart also stopped selling maternity.

I was told that hte Square One Old Navy sells maternity but haven’t been by to make sure of that. I need maternity clothes and really can’t afford things like Thyme Maternity or other selective maternity stores.

Does anybody know?
I know they sell it in the states but what about Ontario…and why’re they getting rid of all of the maternity sections?

I am opening a children’s consignment boutique, I feel that maternity clothing is WAY too expensive and I would rather get it second-hand. I still want name-brand clothing that look nice and are fashionable.

I also know that my maternity clothing has gotten soooo ratty with little pils/pulls, stains, etc! Is this a reason I don’t see a lot of maternity clothing at consignment shops.

What would make you consign your maternity clothing? What would make you buy maternity clothing from a secondhand/consignment shop?
Trina, I totally agree with you about the styles! It’s like the designers are like okay your pregnant now you have to wear "mom" clothes. If I do buy brand name I like Old Navy and Target stuff. Gap is okay, but still so expensive, and I find that Motherhood is overpriced and the quality of some of the stuff is not that great, although I did find a cute pair of blue jeans there for , that’s probably the most I’ve paid for any one piece so far, but a good pair of jeans is a necessity! I haven’t tried Walmart, because I have never been able to find a "Maternity section". I do like Sears, though, they have great clearance sales, I bought 2 shelf bra tanks for .50 each, and 2 short-sleeve collar shirts with the stretchy sides for each. They were just priced that low because it was the end of the season. I may just keep looking for deals and sell them for -2 more at my store, if I can’t get people to consign their stuff.

I really like Motherhood Maternity the pants fit me great. I know that Old Navy has maternity clothing, and I have heard that they have good prices. I dont understand why they say that you should buy the same size you were prior to being preggers though, because smalls are 4/6 they say, but I was a 9 prior to this pregnancy, and I was a 5 or 7 prior to my last pregnancy, and I wear size small in pants and shirts in most all maternity clothes. There are a few brands that smalls are to small, like an Oh Baby maternity shirt I bought online, everything fits fine, except the arm holes are so small that the squeeze my arms so tight, I almost couldnt get it off, and it was not comfortable. My arms are not very big either. But I think my favorite place to buy maternity clothing is Ebay, because you can get new or slighty used maternity clothing, for a very good price. The only problem buying online is that so many different brands run different sizes, even so I bought about 15 shirts and 8 pants online through eBay all size smalls and only 2 shirts were to small. I bought one shirt in a medium from Buddah belly maternity, they stated that their maternity clothes ran smaller than others so you should order a size larger than usual, so when the medium shirt came it was so huge it looked like a dress, but I returned it and my small is on its way.

So where is your favorite place, store, and your favorite maternity brands?

Thanks for your answers and God bless you all.

Good/cheap site to buy maternity clothes?




I’m 24 and hate to sacrafice style while being pregnant. I’ve been to every maternity store in/out of the mall from Motherhood, Old Navy, Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s, etc. I’m looking for a reasonably priced site that sells cute maternity clothes. Thanks!

I am currently 14 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy. I already have a noticeable belly. I am a thin girl, but my belly just seems huge already! Well, last week, I started having abdominal pains- I called the nurses at the hospital OB floor, and she told me that everything is fine, I’m just stretching.

Well, I was hoping to stay in my reg jeans and just get a belly band or something. But with all the aches, I went straight to my maternity jeans. They helped a lot, but they don’t fit quite right yet, they sit more on top of my belly (they are supposed to be below belly) and they are really baggy, to the point that sometimes they start to fall!

I’m just wondering, with still feeling pains, (I don’t really want to call them that, bc it’s not serious, just uncomfortable) if i should look into a belly support band, or maybe better fitting maternity wear? I don’t have a lot of money to spend, but I don’t want to sit around miserable, sore, and frumpy until I get a big belly! lol Anyone have any advice? Thank you!

BTW- I’ve been looking at Old Navy.com’s maternity and the prices are good, but how is the fit? Are they geared twards skinny girls, or are they like any old maternity you find at wal-mart or kohls?
