why does everyone not like Target maternity?

I have seen a few people comment on here how they don't like Target's maternity clothes.  I think they actually have a lot of cute things.  Just curious, have you had a bad experience with wear and tear?

I think they have some cute stuff.

I don't get it, either. The few things that I've purchased at Target I've really liked. Their selection is crap at my local Target, but I still like the quality/style/prices.

I like their maternity line infinitely more than Old Navy's, which generally gets raves around here.

The Target stores by me barely carry any of the maternity so unless I want to get it online, im out of luck.  Online though it does look cute.

From a plus-size girl's perspective, I tried on two maternity shirts when I was around 12 weeks... and their shirts run WAY small.

I have some cute stuff and didn't have any problems when DD #1 came along.

Target's mat stuff si cute, but a VERY small selection. I look on the clearance rack every time I go and always end up with one shirt or a pair of shorts. I do swear by Old Navy, though.

 Hope that helps!

I got a pair of shorts and a tankinin swimsuit from Target. However it is very hit and miss when you go there and they never have more than one or two sizes of an item.

The shirts I have from target have shrunk. The also tend to run a little small. I was always in a Small before pregnancy, I will def. have to buy up because my target shirts are not going to last.

My local Target has one rack and even that rack is interspersed with plus sized pieces, and my Old Navy doesn't even have a maternity section, so all i have is the Motherhood store!

I would kill to be able to try on the cute stuff i see online, but like many other women i hate buying clothes without being able to try them on!

it fits me really weird and I'm not a strange size (10/12 pre-pg).

I think 30 bucks is too much for shorts personally. Plus I have mediums from there and they are way too tiny. And I'm very very tiny.

I'm fine with target shorts and capris, but I'm petite and my local Targets don't carry petite maternity sizes, so their pants don't work for me.  I also have a couple of t-shirts that have worked pretty well. 

I wasn't impressed with their tank tops and dresses though.  They are oddly shaped, so they don't work well with bras.  I can't think of too many pregnant people that can go without bras.  So, almost all of my tops from from Motherhood and Old Navy.

I've gotten most of my stuff from Target- the one I went to had a decent selection with a "Liz Lange for Target" section. i thought the sizes ran large....and the shorts I bought were (full price) $20, shirts $15. This was at the Waterfront Target in Pittsburgh. I think the quality has been excellent-especially for the prices. I like Gap Maternity more (more options) but it's much more expensive.

I think they have cute stuff. But my gripes are

1. the section is so small there isn't much there 

2. there are only ever XS or XXL can a girl just get a size in the middle please?

My Target doesn't have a great selection and it is all very casual.  I don't need as much casual since I have to dress up for work every day. (I manage a bank)  Also the only top I have bought from there, started to unravel after 1 wash.  Normally I love Target, but not for maternity.
