old navy sizing

bonjourbelle05 · March 2012

So, I want to order some stuff from Old Navy, but I know people have said the maternity sizes tend to run large, is that true for pants as well? Normally I wear an 8 in Old Navy pants/jeans, but I'm wondering if they will be too big. I realize I can return them if they are, but I'd rather avoid it if I can! Thanks!

Any time I shop at Old Navy (even when I'm not pregnant) I have to buy pants a size smaller than I usually do. I went in there today and tried on my "regular" size in Maternity pants and ended up fitting better a size smaller

I've found a size smaller works for me there as well!

I usually read through the reviews on items I'm considering, b/c there will usually be a consensus on how it fits. I've found that some are sized true, and some run big (or in some rare cases, small). The maternity pants I ordered for my last pregnancy were a size smaller than I usually wear in ON pants though. Happy shopping!

I wear size 4 and size 4 fit me fine (with a little room for growth or shrinkage). I did use their size chart and it was accurate. I wear long length some places but an Old Navy regular length is just perfect.

I agree! I wore maternity denim capris today from there, and they fit much better when I ordered them one size smaller than my normal size.

I wear an ON 4P in both regular and maternity jeans. However, I normally wear a S in ON pants, and the maternity XS pants fit much better.

This is what I do. It really helps when ordering but it's still a shot in the dark.

I know most of these posts were from last night, but I just thought I'd add that I buy one size down in Old Navy Maternity in everything from pants to dresses. I'm a consistent size 6/small everywhere (including regular Old Navy clothes), but I had to go a size down when shopping in their maternity section. Maybe they're trying to make us feel better about our pregnant selves when shopping

Read the reviews, ON buyers are good about posting about fitting. I always have to order a size or two smaller in ON maternity.

Oddly, ON baby clothes run small.

I ordered my regular size and had to exchange everything for a size smaller. Smile

I'm a size 8 sometimes a 6 depending on brand and I went to Old Navy and bought size 8. I figure if they get a little lose they will shrink in the wash. I'd rather have a little extra room then none at all.
