Question

Tall maternity clothes


I'm 6 foot tall and a bit worried about where I'm going to get maternity clothes from. I'm a size 12-14 with an inside leg of 35 inches. Any other tall peeps out there with any advice?
I'm in the UK by the way.

im 5"11 and had the same problem. I have managed to get myself 2 pairs of trousers from dorothy perkins, they do some of their maternity range in long.

Hope this helps! Also, its worth trying new look or top shop. I also just bought a pair of trousers in the Tall section with stretchy waist they are perfect.. i can't stand wearing trousers that are even slightly too short!

Tall Maternity Clothes


I have the same problem too! (Being tall that is). I'm 6' 1" with an inside-leg of 36" and I was having to live in a pair of stretchy drawstring trousers that I normally wear. It was driving me mad!

But I've found a website that does extra-long maternity trousers and tops in the UK. It's called Beanpole Bumps (www.beanpolebumps.co.uk) and they do trousers from 34" to 37" - I've got some of their jeans and black trousers and they're really comfy. I was starting to panic that I wouldn't have any work trousers and can't really get away with crop maternity trousers for work.

I sympathise too with those with the other problem of not finding short enough/proportional maternity clothes. My friend is 5' and she had terrible trouble and had to take everything up. How come it's so hard to get a range of sizes in maternity clothes??
