Anyone have any luck finding maternity clothes in Tall sizes as well as Plus sizes? If you did, can you give a website name? I'm in a rural area without a lot of retail shops and NO maternity stores (aside from the selection at walmart/target).

I am a pre-pregnancy size 18, with a 35 inch inseam, so I can see this is going to be difficult to find. And I hate wearing dresses, so I'd really like to find some jeans that fit.

Have you tried Old Navy? I was a size 16-18 at the start my last pregnancy and found jeans and khakis there that fit well. I know they also have Tall sizes. I always shop online because I have no retail stores and certainly no maternity stores anywhere close. Good luck!

See my post on 4-5 year olds! Old navy, motherhood maternity, and gap all have talls. I know the first two have larger sizes as well. Not too sure about gap. And your best selection is online anyways. Good luck and congrats!

I was pre-pregnancy size 18. I did lose 10 pounds, but I can't feel it or see it so I don't know if that led to the bagginess in my maternity jeans or not. I'm also only 20 weeks, so I'm sure they are a little baggy for room to grow. I ordered all my maternity pants from Old Navy. I'm short, but I know that they have a tall option too! Good luck (:

Hello! I am a 16-18 also pre pregnancy. Also I am fairly short. I have not bought any jeans because I work in an office full time and was more concerned with dress pants. I got size 1x from motherhood maternity and they are perfect! Prior to pregnancy, I would find that pants fit all over but length and I was forced to wear heels. But the motherhood pants are short enough that I can wear flats, which is a God send cause my feet would be balloons at the end of the day if I was in heels.

In my own opinion, Old Navy clothes run small. So for purchasing online, it might make it difficult. Even when I go into the store, I am never the size that I would think I would be. Motherhood though is right on track with sizes. Good Luck!

I bought a pair of khakis from Motherhood maternity that are pretty comfortable. You'd probably be a 1x in their sizes. I had to drive about an hour to a store that had pregnancy plus sizes.
