Long Maternity Dresses?

wordslikeswordswordslikeswords member
in Pregnant after IF
Does anyone know where I can find one of a decent length? I keep finding that maternity clothes fit my girth but they're all so short. I know I'm pretty tall (5'10), but I'd like to find a dress that comes down to at least my knees. I have a wedding to go to and I'll be 16 weeks so I want to have a stretchy dress since all of mine are tight. But I'd rather not show my butt :( I have to get plus-sized clothes, so I tried JC Penney but all their dresses seem short, and Motherhood has no selection. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Target had a lot of long maxi dresses from Liz Lange-I think they run big too so they might fit.  You could dress it up with a cardigan and jewelry.

    i found all motherhood maternity dresses came above the knee, which is too short for me!

    all my old navy dresses came to mid or just below my knee. and they are sized very generously, so i'm guessing even when i'm at my largest they will fit.

    Try Walmart's website. I stumbled onto their maternity section online and was shocked to see all of the selection they have.  I saw they have long dresses.

    Kohl's on sale- Not in the maternity section. I have about 3 that were $20-$30 and 2 that were on sale of $16.99!

    All in the Jr's department

    Thanks for all of the ideas girls! I hadn't thought about some of these! I think sometimes the manufacturers forget to adjust the length for going over the belly, too!

    I have had pretty good luck with non-maternity maxi dresses...    if they are cut generously enough, the belly has plenty of room.   

    Also, Gap has a few longer ones, with a better selection online than in the store.   Pea in the Pod has a pretty decent selection online, too, in both day and evening dresses.

    My question is - why are all maternity dresses so short in the first place? I don't need easy access to have my babies right this minute.
