Gap Maternity Tops

Do they run pretty true to size? TIA.

I've got quite a few Gap maternity tops. Pre-pregnancy I'm a size 2 or a small and don't have much in the bra region . I'm 23 weeks now and have gained around 10 lbs so I'm around 130lbs now.

I like mediums in the Gap tee-shirts but a small in the sweaters. So, I would say the tee-shirts run a little small and I'm always nervous about them shrinking, but the sweaters run pretty true to size. But, I don't really like things to be super tight so I tend to go a size up.

I find they do. Large in maternity and regular.

I thought they ran a little big... at least for me. I usually buy a medium to account for some shrinkage, and I found all the maternity tops to be VERY long and loose in a medium size. I may be able to wear them towards the end when my bump is really big, but right now they just look like tents.

DH keeps telling me to order online since it's free shipping. I'm hoping to hit a Gap maternity today just to see the fit. My body figure is so foreign to me right now, I need to try things on.

I think so.

Well Gap and ON run bigger than other stores in general. Like my shirts there are usually a large, but other stores I would get an XL. So they do run true to size as far as the size you normally get at Gap, but if you're just saying when you get a shirt at a normal department store... then you could maybe get a size smaller.

I hope that made sense, reading it back it seems a little confusing.

My GAPs are my favorites - they look the best and feel the best. And they are true to size - until your bump gets to the ginormous stage. I'm a small before preg and small maternity shirts fit perfectly. But my bump just went through a crazy growth spurt so I ordered a medium to test it out and it's great. There's room for the bump to get its full growth, but it still drapes well. I can still wear my smalls, but I can see the writing on the wall.

I'd say that since you're moving towards your third tri, try your usual size and one size up - and remember that after you have the baby you'll be glad you have some maternity shirts to wear as you lose weight. Once I'm out of my small shirts completely, I know I'll be back in them in August after I have my baby!

Just a "warning" per se about their free shipping. Yes, it is free shipping (on orders over $50 usually) however, many of their maternity clothes online (or at least in my experience) can be returned by mail only. And with that, comes a $6 shipping charge if you use their return label or you can go to the post office and try to mail it back yourself using a cheaper rate. I also am one to try things on and had to return a shirt I bought via mail. Hopefully I returned it correctly because I haven't seen a credit yet.

You might want to call the Gap near you and confirm their return policy. When I worked at the Gap, we took everything on return except Gap Outlet. Even stuff we didn't carry in the store, like maternity, Gap Body, and online exclusives.

I think they do. It will also depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy, though. If you're normally a medium and order a medium, it probably won't fit you if you're not showing very much yet.

I've found that most maternity tops fit better closer to the end.

Unless you've gained or lost excessive weight, you should still be your same size. I've only got a few of their stretchy material shirts, and while its fitted in my arms where I want it, there's plenty of room in the belly to grow.

ON on the other hand I find runs a little large, in both regular and mat clothes.
