Old Navy sizing and shrinking

blue_elle

What's been your experience with Old Navy maternity sizing and have you had shrinking? I feel like so many of my shirts are already too short and I need a few more items to get me through. I was thinking of picking up some of their long sleeve tees and a couple of their cute sweaters. I noticed the sweaters are 100% cotton, but I do lay out sweaters to dry, so maybe not an issue.

I like Old Navy for their t-shirts and tanks, but have had terrible experiences with their sweaters. They seem to lose their shape quickly (dried in dryer or air dried), and pile easily. I recently purchased some long sleeve t-shirts from Target.com and am very pleased with them.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for. I do like many of my clothes from there but I tend to use them for business casual or casual clothes. They do shrink if not carefully handled and the quality is not as good as gap.

The maternity sweater I got from there shrunk - not a ton in the torso but the arms a good inch the first time I dried it (and I did low heat). The tanks and shirts I have from there haven't shrunk at all though.

My ON shirts have also shrunk...except for the couple of nursing tops I bought from there, and those are more third tri shirts since I bought them as larges instead of my usual medium. I get most of my maternity clothes from Gap, since none of their clothes shrink.

I have a long torso also, and have found that Targets tops, especially with side ruching, tend to be much longer! Check out their clearance, they have a couple cute long sleeve shirts on sale right now

I bought a bunch of tops for ON during my last pregnancy. I hated all of them, except the t-shirts. This time I bought my shirts from the Gap and love them!! **and they are longer torso**

I've got an incredibly short torso (5'2) and I bought my maternity clothes a size too big that I have from ON...so mine are huge on me! But like I said I bought big and I'm short...so I guess it depends on you.

I have found their tops to be TTS, but I don't have any sweaters from them. Bottoms are all over the place there, and I usually size up one size.

I have plenty of ON maternity shirts, but they definitely run shorter than other brands, e.g. Gap. It's not a shrinking issue, just how they come.

My old navy shirts haven't shrunk at all and I dry them in the dryer. They are and have always been shorter than the T-shirts that I got at Target. But, that's a style difference not shrinkage. I will say that I bought all my maternity shirts a size up (M) from what I wore pre-pregnancy because my boobs grew a lot and a S was almost too tight across my chest when I was barely showing. So I bought all mediums which at the beginning were a little too big, but now that I'm showing and my boobs grew some more fit perfectly. Could the shirts just fit you differently now that you are showing more?
