Pregnant after a Loss

ON maternity clothes sizing

I'm thinking of ordering a few pieces of clothing online. There is an ON Canada, but they don't have a maternity section on their website, so I'll have to order from the US site.

Anything in particular I should know about their maternity clothes? Does it run big? Small? I don't shop at ON very much to begin with, so I don't know what I would normally get there.

ETA: Of course, once I change the currency on the website, prices all jump up!

Re: ON maternity clothes sizing

  • I found the jeans true to size, or even a bit small, but the rest of the things--esp. shirts, are big. Order down.

  • Generally the same size as what I would wear in regular ON clothes. Which...their shirts always seem to run a little big to me. PS I love ON Maternity and how cheap it is.

    Perfect, thanks! I was mostly wondering about the shirts.

    Same goes for dresses?

  • I would have to agree about the shirts, IMO they do run big..and I thought it was my big butt that made pant sizes run small Surprise

    Yep. I ordered a dress and had to wash & put it in the dryer for it to not look like a total Mrs. Roper muumuu.

  • Since my boobs are only at a B cup, I'm not ordering shirts from them this time.  They seem to be running big. I had a dress that I thought would look nice when I grew into it, but even now it looks like a tent on me. It just doesn't have any shape and it's a small (returned it to the store and got my $26 back).  Another dress I got in a store for only $10 is ok and the small will fit me to the end.  I miss the old return policy that allowed you to return maternity stuff bought online to the stores that sold it.

  • I normally wear a size 18 in their jeans (always fit me great in the hips and I have no hips to speak of) so I got a size 18 pair of jean capris. The fit a tad big in the hips and they were full panel and didn't stay up well until I was towards the end of 2nd tri (and I had a large full belly). But they were super cute and comfy. I might could have worn a 16 early on in my pregnancy but at the end they would have been uncomfortable.

    Tops ran a little big too (at least the ones that were made of jersey cotton) but I liked my tops to fit close to me and not so billowy, so if you like a looser fit maybe get the correct size there too.

    I have 4 pairs of Target maternity jeans (all the same style, loved them!) and they fit me great and I had to go down a size in them. In case you were looking for jeans!

  • Read the comments on the item.  Those tend to be pretty dead on.  I've found that the shirts tend to be huge on me, but I also don't have much of a pregnancy bump.  I need to get more shirts as my other ones are getting too short, but I think I'm going to stick with t-shirt styles or their regular (non-maternity) ones that are really long as I'm thinking I won't have enough bump to fully fill out the maternity ones ever.  I have too much real estate for the baby to spread out in.  The one maternity dress I ordered from them I ordered a size down and it's still a bit big, even in parts other than the belly.  I haven't washed it yet though.

    No - I don't have a US address I could ship to. I don't live anywhere near the border either.

  • They run very big imo.  I had to order a 1 in pants and an xs in tops and the tops are still big but I hope my bump will grow into them, the pants fit great but loosen up as the day goes on.  I would've normally ordered a 2 and a small.  I hope that helps.

  • I'm being a little redundant here, but I wanted to add that the shirts are so big, that I did order one size down (usually a small-medium and I ordered small) and the shirts were so big that they sat in my closet for almost the entire pregnancy. But after 34 weeks, they became some of my favorite maternity shirts, once I had a much bigger belly!

    On a side note, I just ordered some nursing tops, a couple things for LO, and a dress from gap for a wedding next weekend, and everything fits great!

    This. I found the tops to be rather large...and I got smalls.

  • Definitely read reviews, it will help you decide on sizing. I had never wore ON pants before so when I ordered a pair of khaki's in a 10, I was totally swimming in them just like the reviews said. They are finally fitting me at 34 weeks though. Some shirts I have in a medium are huge, some fit perfectly.
