2nd Trimester

How does Gap maternity fit?

Especially compared to Old Navy maternity?  I know ON tends to run big (I swim in the xxl and I'm definitely plus sized) and while I like their stuff, I would like more options.  Motherhood's stuff is too dowdy.

Thanks!

Re: How does Gap maternity fit?

  • I haven't tried on Old Navy jeans yet but my Gap maternity jeans seem to run big. I can wear the same size shirts that I wear pre-pregnancy in Gap.

  • TTS to a little big. If you want it to fit in 3rd tri, def get your normal size or even 1 size up.

  • I think it depends on what you get. I have 2 pairs of Gap jeans, one in my regular size, one I bought a size down and they both fit great. The tank tops made for layering run true to size, but are a little thinner than the ON ones. The other shirts I have are a little big now in my regular size, but I figured they'll fit later (21 weeks now). I would recommend reading the reviews for each individual item you want online, because they'll tell you whether to get your regular size or size down.

  • I have 4 pairs of gap maternity jeans/cords, and just ordered my first pair of black slacks. 

    I have one in my pre-pg size (size 4), and they were bigger than expected. They "fit" as in stay up, but look saggy/droopy for the most part.  The other three are in size 2, and they fit perfect. So my recommendation might be to order a size down??? But everyone's different... pants are so difficult to begin with anyways. 

    GL!

  • The run about a size large in my experience.  I love them though.  And the quality is a million times better than Motherhood and Old Navy (despite ON and Gap being the same company).

  • Strange I don't think it runs large at all. I was a size 8 and about 5'4" pre-pregnancy and I bought size 8 pants and all size mediums shirts. Same as I would prior and they fit great!  Most, if not all of my maternity clothes are from Gap so I can't really compare it to anything else.  Hope this helps!

  • Gap runs a little big, just like ON but I LOVE all the Gap stuff for that reason. (I'm having twins so the XLs I appreciate being larger)
  • I order my regular size because although they are a tad big at first by the time I grow a third tri belly and ass they fit great.
