Tall maternity clothes

Laura CochranLaura Cochran
in Pregnant after 35

I still have quite a way to go before I need maternity clothes but I need to do some research now. I'm 5'10' and since I'm due during the winter I'm going to need long sleeves and pants. If it was short sleeves and capris, it wouldn't be a problem but ...

Does anyone know a place that sells maternity clothes in tall sizes?

    I ordered some tall pants from Target.com and they were super long...I actually had to have them shortened! I've gotten a couple pairs from Kohls that are on the long side, too.   I'm just shy of 5'9" and they're fine for me.

    I am also 5'10" and like indyrower have had good luck with Gap and Old Navy.  You will have to order online, though.  They don't carry much maternity in the stores to begin with, and pretty much no tall maternity.  GL!

    OK, so I'm not pregnant yet, but I lurk over here since when I do become pregnant with #2, I'll be over 35.  In any case, when I was pregnant with DS, I found the best selection and sizes at Gap.  You may have to order their Tall sizes online... but they definitely make them.

    Good luck!

    Both Gap and Old Navy sell tall maternity.  I am 5'11" so I know your dilemma!  I found that I could wear shirts from most anywhere but needed the tall pants.

    I am 5'9" and plus sized (18W) and terrified that I will be wearing capris in December!  LOL!  Seems that it has not yet occurred to clothing makers that some tall gals are also curvy!  Or maybe they don't think we get KU!

    Anyway, my friends have told me that the items at Motherhood come long (they all had to have theirs hemmed up), so perhaps the inseams are long enough (I need 34")?  I sure hope so!  JCPenny has some options too.

    Like everyone else I lived in gap and old navy too. Also motherhood maternity has one style of jeans that come in long online and I LOVED them! I'm 5'10 also so I know what you're dealing with.

    Thanks everyone. Looks like I'll be wearing lots of Gap and ON. I've also found out from Googling that a place call RGMaternity is a good option.

    I'm mostly concerened about finding tops made for tall women, since that is a challenge even in non-maternity clothes.

    I'm tall too (5'10") and it looks like I'll be shopping online.  I was NOT impressed with the selection they have in the local Target stores - everything seems very cheaply made and kind of old lady-ish, not to mention too short.  Hopefully they have a better selection on line!

    I'm 6'0" and bought 4 pairs of pants from them.  Worked great for me.  Never thought I'd wear those silly big belly pants [bought them way too early], but when those are the only thing you can get on, look out!
