Long/Tall maternity dress pants

in May 2014 Moms
Has anyone had any luck finding long or tall length maternity dress pants that fit well? I'm 5'10" and weighed 130 before pregnancy...typically wear a 4 long at most places. For the life of me I can't find any good maternity pants and I need some for work!! Thanks in advance for ideas :):)

    I'm in the same boat. Gap long work pants aren't long enough. What about Anne Taylor Loft? Online.

    They only have a 32.5 inch inseam...but I'm tempted to order some and see if I can just take the hem out! :) lets hope that works...or that I can find some when I go shopping this weekend!

    Hi! I have the same issue. I'm 6'0. I was just saying to my family today that I can't find any maternity clothes that fit me well! I did get a pair from gap that I can wear with flats. I found that not all their inseams are the same on the tall pants. Some are longer than others. So you really have to look at each pair. I have has very good luck with 7 for all man kind maternity jeans but they are expensive. I's rather spend the money for high quality pants that fit me well. I have not liked the quality of the loft clothing. I was happy with gap but found that the shirts shrunk up after I washed them and are barely long enough to cover my pants panel. Definitely won't be long enough once I have a real bump.

    I just ordered some jeans from Motherhood Maternity. They have some in long that have 34" inseams. Jessica Simpsons line was BOGO and others were buy one, get one 1/2 off. Plus try googling coupons, I found a few extra that saved me a lot of $$. I haven't gotten them in the mail yet but I have high hopes for them.

    I have the opposite problem (stubby legs), but the Motherhood line has "Petite" and "Tall" variants.  I'm on my 3rd baby and the dress slacks are still holding up well.

    I have been googling this all evening. I am not super tall, but my inseam is long and I am quickly running out of the ability to use the belly band.

    I have a pair of longs from motherhood that are definitely long on me ... and I'm 5'8" and usually need longs.  Worth a try!

    I'm so not looking forward to this pants hunt stuff. I'm 6'3" and 36 inseam. Finding regular jeans is a biotch, I don't even want to think about the impossibility of pregnancy pants!

    I usually wear a long in pants as well and I've had luck only with gap jeans. I have not tried there dress pants. I think their long dress pants are shorter than their long jeans just from pre pregnancy experience. Try nordstroms I hear they have a huge selection (there is not one near me).

    I'm 5'10 and I have one pair from GAP that is long enough and then I have a couple from Motherhood that are long enough as well. Otherwise I buy the regular ones and just wear flats.

    I have some Motherhood Maternity pants that are tall. I have about a 35" inseam, and they fit just right. I also got some hand-me-down maternity jeans from my sister that are tall, and they're from Old Navy..and they're wonderful. :) I feel your pain, though! Finding long pants is a challenge, especially in maternity! Good luck! :)

    I can't speak for their dress pants, but for jeans, H&M's regular length are very long. I'm 5'9" and they are long enough with room to spare! If they have dress pants there, they probably similarly run long.

    I'm 6'0 and have the Motherhood pants, they fit well. My problem is finding shirts long enough! Non-rouched maternity shirts fit perfect with no bump do I have been buying tunic style shirts that are a size too big. Sounds like maternity clothes for tall girls might be a good money maker!

    I've seen a lot of tutorials online of how to turn pants into maternity pants if you're feeling industrious. Here's a good one I found: https://www.instructables.com/id/I-can-make-that-maternity-pants-from-any-used-pant/

    I've also seen people post about this person's etsy page, "BellyJeans" (she takes your pants and does all the work for you): https://www.etsy.com/shop/BellyJeans

    Motherhood Maternity $40.  I own 3 pairs and that's all I have for work.  I'm 5'10".  These were lifesavers my last pregnancy and I'm rocking them again.

    I just ordered some from Motherhood and am hoping they are long enough. I have very long legs and finding jeans can be a pain. I did get an email from Motherhood today about 30% off so maybe now would be a good time to order some :)

    I'm 5'8 and last pregnancy I ordered pants in long/tall from Motherhood. I had to hem them to make them the right length so maybe they would be the perfect length for you.

    I'm 6'0" and I found the tall Gap dress pants to fit perfectly (not long, but tall).

    I'm 5'10" and Gap longs work for me, at least for jeans. Find a store that carries maternity and you can try them on, for sure - they definitely vary from style to style.

    I am almost 6' and I found a pair of gap tall's at an upscale resale shop. They are perfect! The reviews I read on the gap website for their tall pants says that they run pretty long (some say too long). Good luck!

    I was just at Motherhood and I tried on 6 pairs of their "long" jeans and I only found 1 that will barely be long enough for flats!
    I'm 5'10" and usually a 34 is as short as I can go.

    SAME problem!! Im 5'10 and was 135lbs before pregnancy. I bought a pair from Motherhood that were "longs" that were just long enough. Once I washed them, they shrunk in length- OF COURSE! I know better, but I find that to get them fit nicely they need to be dried. I havent found a pair that fits nicely yet.

    Good luck on your search! The Gap I visited didnt have maternity clothing... so frustrating. haha.
