2nd Trimester

Seriously could Motherhood Maternity pants be any longer?

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

Re: Seriously could Motherhood Maternity pants be any longer?

  • 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
  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!

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

  • 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!

  • 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
  • Yes they could be haha. They are not long enough for me at all.  :(
  • I had the opposite problem with their pants. I couldn't buy them because they are so short!

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

  • I bought petites at Macys and still had to them them by nearly 2 inches-I hear ya.
  • Seriously? I can hardly wear flats with the "long" length!
  • Yes they could!  I can't wear them at all.
  • 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?

  • 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
  • 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.


     
     
     
     
  • 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)

  • 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.
