uhh motherhood < old navy?

CousinVicki · May 2013

i refer to old navy as disposable clothing, because it's pretty cheaply made, barely lasts more than a few washes/shrinks etc etc....... anyway, i got a few skirts a motherhood, and am wearing one right now. i just noticed that there is NO hem on the skirt, it looks like it was just cut with scissors all th way around and is slightly fraying. wtf? is this normal???? also their *** is SO sheer, like i want to wear a slip in the summer !

I wear my motherhood stuff from my first pregnancy regularly, even when I wasn't pregnant. Never had an issue.

Really? I bought a bunch of ON maternity items and I love most of them!

I would take it back, maybe it's a defect??

RedheadBaker:
What are you doing to your Old Navy clothing that it only lasts a few washes? I have all kinds of clothes from them that are over 5 years old!

are you seriousssss? it always fades or just looks blah after awhile. i mean let's face it , it IS cheap stuff (not that i am against buying cheap when needed lol)

i guess my motherhood rant is more that i do NOT remember the clothes being this crappy 5 years ago !

MM is beyond overpriced and poor quality. I do have a pair of jeans that I bought with my last pg that still look good.
I think mat clothes in general are awful!

I loved ON when I was pregnant with last LO. I am wearing a maternity shirt from them right now, 2 years later, and still held up. Motherhood, Pea in the Pod, all those places IMO are way overpriced and the quality isn't the greatest either. Years back when I went in, their clothing looked like something my gma would wear. I don't normally shop at ON either, but for maternity stuff, I think they have nice clothing for cheap.

I think all maternity stuff is made poorly. It's just not made to last and yea MM ss stuff is super sheer. 20 for a top u can see through. At least I will be cool in the middle of the summer.

I have a pair of jeans and 2 jean shorts from MM. I also have 2 dresses. The jeans and shorts have held up very well but after washing the dresses one time, they look a little worn.
I have not bought any shirts from MM because I refuse to spend $25 on a tshirt. Not happening!

I agree with this. I basically only get my pants/shorts from MM. I have been very happy with those. The couple of other things I have gotten from them have definitely NOT been worth the money. I absolutely love ON. It is definitely cheap and I will admit not the best quality, but to be honest I still have things from ON that I got probably 5 years ago. Their pants not so much, but other things have worked GREAT for me.

I just noticed I had a hole in the crotch of a pair of leggings from MM last night. I wore them maybe four times. I'm considering taking them back.

I'm not a fan of Motherhood clothing either. For the price, the quality is awful! I'd rather buy a few pieces at Old Navy, pay less and if they fall apart...oh well. I hate the thought of investing a lot of money just to watch the clothes come apart after a couple washes.

What Skirt? As in how long the color...stuff like that there is a 30 day return policy

jpeazybreezy · May 2013

MM has been great for work. I am starting to work the stuff that I got for last time into my daily rotation. That skirt sound defective, I would send it back.

I've never had a neg experience with their clothes, but now you're scaring me since I just orederd a skirt, pants, and dress online this weekend!

bought over a month ago, but just started wearing it because it's hot!

Jalee85 · May 2013

Ugh do you got tags or the receipt...if the hem is actually messed up its defective and they CAN return it! I work there but I only have one skirt from there so far... we only have 2 options where I live MM or Target maternity so they are what I like best!

I wear a lot of Old Navy stuff and the quality is pretty inconsistant. I have several pairs of ON pants that I've been wearing for years and they still look great - other things have fallen apart after 1 season. So far I like their maternity shirts the best of all the places I've tried and I don't care if they only last the summer because I'm never going to need them again. I had bad luck at Motherhood. I had a ton of gift cards to use there so I had to buy something but their shirts were no good on me. I got 2 pairs of pants, a skirt and and jersey dress that all seem to be holding up ok. I line dry a lot of my ON shirts because they shrink alot - maybe that helps extend their life a little?

I too have lots of ON clothes that have survived several years of washing. Maybe check how you are washing your clothes (hot vs cold water, etc).

My friend loaned me all her pregnancy clothes. She was pregnant with her first 4 years ago, had a second pregnancy since then and has loaned these clothes out to at least 4 friends before me. So essentially 6 whole pregnancies, and the clothes are still in really good shape. There is a mixture of brands and companies because each friend threw in their purchased clothes as well. The majority is target (liz lange) and mm. The only piece that has anything wrong with it is a top with little studs that are falling out, but this happens with my regular clothes too and I hate studs so it is a non-issue for me.

Could the hem issue be a style choice? It seems that frayed hems (and sheer tops for that matter) are now a fashionable thing (god knows why).

This. I think they're all pretty bad and over-priced.
