Do Old Navy Clothes Shrink?

I just bought a bunch of Old Navy maternity clothes a size bigger because I assumed they ran small like their regular clothes do.  Well, everything is HUGE.  Please tell me they shrink.  They do, right?

    I was hoping the same thing. I ordered a size bigger because the shorts that I wore all sumer from Old Navy are too tight now. I was thinking the med would be too small but the large is too big. IDK - good luck!

    I think they will shrink a little but not a lot.  With Old Navy I buy everything my p/p size and they are still a little big but give me enough room to grow.  If they are huge, i'd consider going down a size otherwise you might not be able to wear them.  I just bought some dress slacks form there and they are a little big but they have the elastic band in them so I can make them smaller.  That helps a bit!

    Well... none of my ON clothes have shrunk yet.  And I'm not particularly careful with my laundry -- everything goes in on hot.

    Have you washed yours or removed the tags yet?  If you don't think you'll grow into them over the course of your pregnancy, it might be a better idea to return them for a smaller size...

    i stopped wearing old navy because everytime i would by their clothes, they were ALWAYS too big and they would always stretch even more as your wear them through the day. my clothes either shrunk after the 15th wear...or maybe i gained weight

    I can only order maternity clothes online.  Our Old Navy doesn't carry them anymore, which really bugs me because I have a hard time buying things without trying them on first.  So I would have to send back the things that are big and pay $6 for shipping, plus I will have to wait forever to get them again.  I am wearing my pants today.  They are big, but are comfortable.  They stuck this "waist" on the pants that just looks ridiculous though.  Even at my biggest the waist will not sit against my belly, unless it was litterally a square.  I hope I made the right decision there.

    I don't know if they shrink - but in general I find Old Navy clothes to run big... so I made sure to just order my regular pre-pregnancy size.

    I bought some ON online and ordered my pp size... they came way too big. -arm length and such. So, I sent them back and re-ordered a size smaller. Washed a couple shirts and so far no shrinking, so I'm glad I ordered a size smaller. Everyone has told me ON maternity runs big. The jeans I ordered in my pp size though and they're good :-)
