Once you put them on you will wonder why you put it off for so long and why you can't always wear maternity clothes even when you're not pregnant! I didn't really start wearing maternity clothes until i was 15-16 weeks but i regretted not having started sooner! </p> <p>ASOS maternity has, in my opinion, the best selection of affordable clothes. AND I always notice they use models that are 5'11" (they specify in product pics) so i think their clothes are more suited for taller people in general! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1709027 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:42:00 +0000 blackbird 1709027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never find maternity maxi's long enough! I always did skirts+tanks. I lived in the maternity skirts, though! </p> <p>Oh i definitely ditto bpcmarj's comment on going up a size in maternity shirts. holy crap did I outgrow some shirts in the length, even though I wear a L/XL! The gap pure body t'shirts are THE BEST. They are v-neck, ruched, and extra long. Hands down the best maternity shirt for tall women. EVER. Because I outgrew a lot of my clothes lengthwise, I wore those with cardigans a lot at work. Which is still very very casual, but it's all I had. And they're very forgiving postpartum. Cannot say enough good things about those damn shirts!</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=890312622&#038;vid=1&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gap.com%2Fproducts%2Fmaternity-tees.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=890312622&#038;vid=1&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gap.com%2Fproducts%2Fmaternity-tees.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708780 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 08:13:12 +0000 bpcmarj 1708780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 6" and motherhood maternity long dress pants and jeans were just long enough for me to wear with flats. And most maternity shirts are pretty long anyway, though you may have to go up a size if you are very long torsoed. Liz Lange from Target fit me well, too though I don't think they have long length pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708673 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 05:56:11 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1708673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about 5'9 but my torso is the long part. Regardless, I just bought a pair of maternity jeans from Old Navy in a regular length (which are usually fine) and they are actually really long. They also carry tall sizes so I'm sure they would fit you. Motherhood's maxi dresses fit well on my for length as well. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708663 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 05:23:09 +0000 namaste 1708663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: @blackbird: @bunnylovesbear: @MrsKoala: @AmeliaBedilia: @MrsF: @fussygal: Thank you ladies!

You can shop ebay and search by inseam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708343 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:18:56 +0000 MrsKoala 1708343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second what @blackbird said especially Gap pants/jeans. I'm still wearing mine! ASOS also has jeans with longer lengths along with skirts and dresses that are a bit longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708297 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:56:13 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1708297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mrs.shinerbock. I always have good luck at Target. I'm not quite as tall as you, though. I'm somewhere between 5'8 and 5'9. Maxi skirts and sun dresses will be your best friend this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708238 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:19:11 +0000 blackbird 1708238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 35" inseam. I liked Isabella Oliver dress pants. So long. Loft in long. And the gap long and lean jeans in long. Also some gap khakis in long. I wore a lot of dresses and leggings and boots at the end </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708198 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:56:50 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1708198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'11", but not super leggy and here's what worked for me. </p> <p>Target Liz Lange tank tops. They were long enough to cover throughout my entire pregnancy and because there is no rucking on the sides I can still wear them at 7 mo PP and not look pregnant. I also liked Target maternity dresses. </p> <p>GAP and Old Navy sell long pants which were long enough for me. Most of their shirts were long enough as well. You probably have to buy online, but it's free shipping for orders over $50, so I would buy a lot and return whatever didn't work. </p> <p>Long Tall Sally has a limited selection of maternity wear. </p> <p>The best jeans I found and the only tights long enough were from a company in England called Mommy Long Legs. They had pretty good work pants too.</p> <p>If I was pregnant this summer, I would buy tall maxi dresses and live in those all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-shopping-help-for-tall-girls#post-1708121 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:11:21 +0000 namaste 1708121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! I'm entering the final week of the first trimester and it's beyond time that I get over my fear of the maternity section and get into it. I usually shop in tall for pants. I'm about 5'11 and very leggy, so I'm worried about shopping for maternity jeans and dress pants which I do need to get ASAP before a trip next week.</p> <p>What places do you recommend for your maternity shopping needs? </p> <p>Please share any tips you have! This is my first-pregnancy and I'll be shopping solo so I am clueless. Thank you! :) </p>
