Blog Stuck On You

Every season it seems it’s time to purchase a new set of clothing. Certainly the very basics are always in demand, including pants, undergarments, shirts, and jackets. But women who are pregnant have specific clothing needs, especially for those who are tall.

If you’re a tall pregnant woman, then you know how difficult it can be to find tall maternity jeans. Without the range of sizes and styles available in non-maternity clothes, it can be tough to find that perfect fit.

However, don’t lose hope - there are brands and stores out there that work. For a breakdown of some of the best clothing retailers for tall pregnant women, keep reading.

RG Maternity

RG Maternity sells its maternity jeans in sizes up to a 36 inch inseam, making them perfect for those with a little extra height. The store is actually branded for “the tall mom to be” and can be found online at rgmaternity.com. It’s also a great place to look for longer shirts.

The Gap Maternity Store

Over the last few years, the Gap has gotten much better at providing options for the taller woman. Recently, they started offering tall maternity jeans both on their website and in select Gap stores. These jeans go up to a 34-inch inseam, but you should expect them to shrink at least an inch, so avoid putting them in the dryer.

J.C. Penney Department Stores

Believe it or not, but J.C. Penney actually has a fairly extensive selection of maternity clothing for taller women. They are designed for ladies over 5′9″ and offer longer rises and longer lengths (up to 36 inches in some styles). They’re also affordable, though not always super stylish.

To order specialty items from J.C. Penney, you can call them directly, go through their website or visit a store in person.

Trendy Mamma Tailors

Trendy Mamma is a mail-order alteration and tailoring company that can take your favorite pair of jeans and alter them for pregnancy. The cost is just $20 plus $7.95 for shipping and handling and definitely worth it if you’re having a hard time finding maternity jeans that fit and look good. Their turnaround time is typically one-to-two weeks.

Clothing from 7 For All Mankind

7 For All Mankind may be an expensive brand, but it’s also fantastically fashionable and very attractive. Their maternity jeans are sold at Pea in a Pod and come in tall lengths, though they might need to be custom ordered through the store.

Finding tall maternity jeans, even with all the resources listed above, can still be a major hassle. However, the number of choices has skyrocketed in the last few years and retailers are cluing in to the demands of taller women. So, before you give up all hope and resort to jogging pants, try the retailers listed above.
