Seriously could Motherhood Maternity pants be any longer?

IlovemyGeek · September 2009

I just had to hem mine about 3 inches just so I could wear them with heels to an interview. I swear they had to have been cut for a basketball player. Thank goodness for hem tape

Wow! I wish I had this problem. Mine are so short, even with flats I feel like I am ready for a flood! My longs fit nice though, at least I can wear heels with them!!!

Try the petite ones next time. I am pretty short and usually, even my prepregnancy petite pants were too long. Motherhood's petite pants are the first pair of pants that I have ever had that don't drag on the ground.

are you wearing regulars or longs? You must be super super short if the regulars are 3 inches too long! I'm 5 foot ten and the longs are perfect. I am all legs so I need that 35 inch inseam!

Almost all my maternity jeans are longish so I just cuff them, but these were about 5 inches too long for flats. Sigh, I wish I wasn't 5'4

AngelxxRose · September 2009

Another person that wishes that was the problem! My longs fit well but I can't wear regular length pants.

To the OP - I think I saw they have petite in some of the pants styles...have you tried those?

IlovemyGeek · September 2009

I got them at Kohls, they were just marked as smalls, they didn't say long on them or anything.

I'm 5'1 so jeans always drag on me. I picked up a pair of petite motherhood pants from a consignment shop and they fit perfect. The regular pair of pants from motherhood i got were waaaay too long even with heels so I had to have them hemmed as well. Look for petites next time! Smile

sarahmae8 · September 2009

Did you get longs? Because that is the only way I can wear pants thanks to a 34" inseam. Finding maternity pants that are long enough has been impossible for me so I would rather have to hem pants than search all over the place for ones that are long enough. Hope your interview went well! Smile

hmm, I was going to suggest like pp to buy the petites, but I'm 5'2" and I think if the petites were any shorter they'd be too short. In fact, if they weren't maternity and I was wearing them long term, I'd even consider getting regulars and having the hemmed so they'd be a bit longer.

That being said, you could try the petites, they are definitely short!

Lindsey7521 · September 2009

I have the exact opposite problem! I cahnt find any long enough...and I'm only 5'7! Even the long length ones i could never wear with heels..can barely wear 'em with flip flops!

Mereou12 · September 2009

No joke. I had mine hemmed the other day and had about 3.5" taken off. They're crazy long.

Scooter359 · September 2009

All the ones ive tried on, or own have been too short. I have stick legs and its so hard to find a pair of maternity pants that actually fit my bulging belly and tiny long legs, its a battle ive decided not to fight anymore, I dont have much longer.

That's my problem too!

IlovemyGeek · September 2009

I've tried petites but petites are really for women 5'3 and below, I'm sort of in this crappy in between height LOL

mrsmegs06 · September 2009

Yes they could be haha. They are not long enough for me at all.

LadyJavy · September 2009

I had the opposite problem with their pants. I couldn't buy them because they are so short!

ditzydi_2000 · September 2009

How tall are you? I saw some Motherhood maternity jeans in petite sizes at Kohls yesterday. I would have bought them but they only had one pair in my size. I'm 4'11" so pants are not my friend. Hee hee.

LittleMamaB · September 2009

I wish I could find a pair that were long enough. All of my maternity pants are capri length because I always look like I'm waiting on a flood in reagular ones : (

Jen&Louie · September 2009

Sorry...they are the perfect length for me as is when I wear a kitten heel.

mbss · September 2009

I bought petites at Macys and still had to them them by nearly 2 inches-I hear ya.

berrysweet · September 2009

Seriously? I can hardly wear flats with the "long" length!

kreeper611 · September 2009

Yes they could! I can't wear them at all.

sewolff · September 2009

I bought a pair of petite pants at Motherhood and still had to hem them a couple of inches. I'm only 5'2 but most of their petites were ridiculously long. Do they think women get taller when they get pregnant?

noangel293 · September 2009

LMAO agreed!!!! my JCPenney ones are SUPER long too... I swear they expect all pregnant women to be giants! I'm 5'4 and have a big booty so I need the extra SPACE back there lol

katee2184 · September 2009

I know! I bought 2 pair of jeans from there and had to take them to the dry cleaners to get them hemmed! I bought a khaki pair in petite for work and they are just about too short. Ugh, I'm sticking with Old Navy.

Linzyxo · September 2009

just a word to the wise (and hopefully most do this) but wash them before you hem them. I had two pair of Motherhood jeans that were about 3 inches too long and shrunk to just about the right length after one wash! I didn't even have to get one pair hemmed (the other pair they just turned up the bottom inch and a half)

IlovemyGeek · September 2009

Yup I washed them first (just checked the final hem length too LOL) they are almost too long for flats and perfect for a heel now.
