Maven Maternity

I typically wear 8-10 pants but ordered a 12 because I didn’t want to worry about busting out of them! I’m still in my second trimester and would say that I could have ordered a 10 and it would have been perfect. I must wear a belt but I think that’s normal. I am going to order another pair. I don’t love that there are no front pockets.

Overall I love everything about these. It is tighter proportionally in the hips vs the waist, but it doesn't bother me too much since I ordered a size larger than I usually wear. My only critique is that when I wear a belt with them, there are not enough loops in proportion to the waistband and the pants sag off the belt when I squat. I am a seamstress so I will be adding extra loops. Other than those things, I love the pockets, the fabric, the stretchy panels, and the waistband doesn't dig in! Feels so good to wear pants that fit and function well while pregnant.

Similar to other reviewers I found the waist too loose for the thighs and noticed a smell initially. I ended up returning these and keeping the Christa DIYs in gray denim which are working great as maternity work pants!

Great fit! Hard to keep from falling down but that’s typical for maternity pants. Under clothes maternity suspenders make them the perfect jeans for outdoor work!

Love the stretch, and the overall functionality. I had somewhat low hopes for the fit, after reading reviews, and I agree that the cut of the waist is somewhat overly generous for the thighs. I ordered two sizes up (10 instead of 6), since that is how my Dovetail overalls fit. I probably could have gone just one size up, but I agree that the thighs would have been tight. For now (21 weeks with my 9th) I’m wearing them with a belt, which kind of defeats the purpose of stretchy maternity pants, but I think I’ll grow into them properly in 3rd trimester.

So great to have these sturdy pants with so many pockets for all my farm and garden projects.
