So since having kids, I swear that almost all my old pre-preggo shirts and sweaters are now too short! At first I thought it was only stuff from Ann Taylor, but now I've decided it's everywhere. Am I just a freak? Does anyone else have this problem or other stuff that just doesn't fit the same?
Yap. I also think that my post baby style of clothing is a bit different. I think I'd like to cover my belly more whereas before if it hikes up a lil it's not a biggie. I was just telling my DH the other, how in the hell did I fit on those lil bitty shirts.
nothing fits the same. I got back to prepregnancy weight pretty quickly but still had to go through my closet and get rid of a ton of pants/tops. that was a depressing day trying clothes on and throwing them in an ever growing pile.
Yep, I remember after having Connor I had to pretty much buy new clothes especially shirts because of them being short. My clothes still fitted but not in the same attractive way. I'm sure I will be shopping again after this baby.
i have the exact same problem, and am still wearing a lot of my maternity tank tops. the big problem is that i wore mostly fitted maternity tops because i loved my bump, so now i have all these clingy shirts that show off my gut!
Yep--I don't understand it. I weigh less than I did pre-preg with both kids. I can get into all my pre-preggo clothes, but my shirts are way too short. I thought they were just shrinking:)
DH makes fun of me because I'm always wearing tank tops layered aka wife beaters, but they are the only shirts long enough.
I don't even have big boobs--maybe my shoulders are broader from picking up the kids--who knows.
yes, it is the weirdest thing! at first I thought it was because my boobs were bigger, but I've been weaned for over a year now and my boobs are small again, and they are still short. so annoying!

Yes, I had this problem too and I know it's not b/c of the saggy boobs b/c mine are tiny! But I also think that maybe before pregnancy, I wasn't as bothered by having a tiny bit of midriff showing if I lifted my arms or whatever. But post baby- forget it!!!
Yep. I thought It was because my boobs were bigger, but they have gone down, and I weigh less than before I had kids....so I have no idea why, but I have hated getting rid of all of those shirts!
Well, this is depressing! But I am glad I read it before I tried to get into my pre-pg clothes. I will just have to go shopping for all new stuff and not even open those two giant rubbermaid tubs marked "sz small". I just hope my shoes still fit when my cankles go away!
Mine are all like that & it bugs the piss out of me! I've had to go up 2 sizes just so they fit in the length. I haven't had to go up in the pant sizes, bra size, and my stomach has gone back down to my pre-pregnancy size. I don't understand it at all!!! Urgh!!
Re: Anyone else have this random problem with shirts?

Yeah, at the bottom. Even after I'm done nursing they still don't fit.
