Jess, a question (and any other tall moms or Gap lovers)

ginifred

So, Gap has always been my go-to store for all things pants and jeans.  I can order 12-longs in jeans or khakis and be 100% confident that they will fit perfectly in length and waist.

Well, I must say that I am super dissapointed in Gap's maternity khakis.  The jeans are great - I have 2 pairs of the Long and Lean maternity jeans in 12-long and I will definitly have plenty of growing room.  The khakis are a different story.

So far, I have ordered 3 different styles of khakis in 12-long.  They seem to fit good in the waist (big, but thats for room to grow), but the length is awful.  They are all a full 2 inches too short.  I thought maybe they sent me the wrong length, but the label says 12-Long.  I thought it was a mislabel on the first pair, but now after 3 pairs I am beginning to think their quality control on khakis are realy lacking.

I give up on Gap khakis.  I am waiting on a pair of Old Navy khakis (I'm not getting my hopes up for ON, they never fit me right) as my final act of desperation.

Where can I get khakis that are long enough?!  I am down to one pair of my fat pants that I can comfortably wear, and I don't like the idea of wearing those 5 days in a row every week.

Sorry so long.  I feel desperate.

I wound up buying some at kohl's that were ok. I didn't love them like I normally love the gap but they worked for what I needed them for and were long enough.

I am am very glad you asked this question. With DD, I wore a lot of shorts and dresses/skirts because no one made maternity pants long enough back then.

I am not tall but I am a gap maternity lover.  I honestly have no advice because I don't wear kahkis.  Are you required to wear them for work or something?  Why not try their dress pants?

ginifred

I'm not necessarily required to wear khakis, its just what I wear.  We just can't wear jeans.

I may have to try out the dress pants.  I have never been a dress pant fan - I don't know fashion and I dress to be comfortable and most dress pants I try aren't that comfortable to me.  Plus, I don't have cute shoes to wear with dress pants (most of my shoes consist of Clarks).

Hey, I'm open to anything at this point.  I will give them a try.  Thanks, banc.

Sorry this is getting back to you so late ginifred. 

 

I too loathe Gap khakis sizing.  Loathe.  It.  And that wasn't just for maternity wear either.  I've never liked them.  Unfortunately I never did find a pair of maternity khakis that I was in love with.  I did however like their dress pants.

 

Also, for a cheaper way out and perhaps if you aren't adverse to flats check out Target's maternity pants.  I had a few pairs I lived in for work.
