pants help - tall girls

in 3rd Trimester
I am just starting my second tri, but I figure you ladies know the most about maternity clothes. I am tall, 5'11. I have a horrible time finding long pants anyway, so I am concerned about finding long maternity pants. I have only looked online so far, but all the longs are 34 inseam and I need at least a 36. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I buy designer maternity jeans on eBay, like Sevens or Citizens.  Plenty of them come in 36" inseam!

    I ran into the same problem.  I did find one pair of Motherhood jeans that even though the tag said 34" they were definitely longer. You just have to try them on and see.  I actually ended up wearing a lot of dresses because they were more comfortable, and on cold days I've just put them with tights and boots (the Motherhood Maternity tights are super cheap, but they're short so you need to buy them bigger than you think you do.)  Otherwise, Ebay.

    I found that some Motherhood pants in the stores are longer than expected.

    Wow, I couldn't imagine trying to find mat pants if I was as tall as you. I am only 5'7" and had a hard time finding even 34" inseam. I didn't want to spend crazy money so at first I just bought mat clothes 2nd hand, but couldn't find anything long enough, I rolled them up and wore them as capris all summer. I did finally break down and order a couple pair from ON that are long enough, but I still plan to wear the too short ones, just tucked into my Ugg boots. I tend to wear nothing but boots during winter anyway, and no one will ever know the difference.

    I'm not sure what the inseam is, but Old Navy sells pants in long length

    I wear a 36" inseam as well and the Motherhood secret fit belly pants are plenty long enough.  Just make sure you have a tummy band to hold them up, since they like to fall down.

    I'm 6'0 with a 37-inch inseam so I feel your pain!

    RG Maternity is a lifesaver for dress pants. I actually like their black dress pants more than some of my normal ones!

    Gap long and lean full panel in long length are long enough to wear with flats.

    My best luck with jeans was taking a few pairs of my normal ones to a tailor and having her put a panel in them. The just fit better, the length the rise, etc. They will forever be maternity jeans, but worth it to have a few pair that fit well!

    Good luck!

    I am 5'10" with the same issue.  I have a few pairs of the Gap Long and Lean in long length.  I even have to roll up the cuff if I wear flats.  The sizes and lengths seem to vary.  I have a size 4 and a size 10.  Weird!
