Petite Maternity Clothes?

aschleser

I'm not in maternity wear quite yet - but my overexuberant mom (its the first grandbaby!) is super into buying things.  I've tried target, kohls, and JcPenney, and one of the maternity stores in the mall - without any luck.  Where did other shorter mamas find petite maternity clothes?  (that won't break the bank!).

Thanks in advance!

Motherhood has petite stuff and its affordable as well. I just got 2 pairs of work pants and a pair of jeans and the length was perfect for me. I'm all of 5'2. G/L

I am also on the shorter side and so far I have simply had to take all of my pants in to have them hemmed. I found a ton at Old Navy (online) and also Burlington Coat Factory has a maternity section online and their pants are super cheap.  I figure for less than $20 a pair, I can afford the extra $6 it costs to get them hemmed.

Loved Motherhood's pants.  Some of their tops come in XS so those work too.  Other than that, I've hit up ebay and found a lot of great new items for very cheap!

Gap maternity has pants in a shorter length.

I had this problem, too(I'm 5'1" and there aren't many maternity places near here to shop in person)...turns out Sears has several petite-sized and not-petite-but-still-short-enough pants and such(though when I tried the "petite" jeans there, they were still about 4" too long...I'm just gonna have to hem jeans).  They also have a whole lot of nice long-sleeve tops and sweaters on clearance right now...I found several I really liked, along with a couple pairs of pants, and the only thing that was more than $20 was a pair of nice black slacks that hadn't been marked down yet.

I'll repeat most of what has been said above: Motherhood, Gap (online), Old Navy (online). AnnTaylor loft online has very few petites, but you may get lucky and find something. I found cheap pants at Motherhood that fit really well (but only in 1 style, all their other petite pants did not fit well).
