Maven Maternity

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.

They have the durability I love about Dovetail pants, but there is too much room in the waist compared to the room in the legs. If I could mix and match sizing I'd probably wear a 6 or 8 in the hips and a 10 in the legs. All that said, it's definitely the best (and only) option I've found for maternity workwear.

I absolutely love my Overalls from Dovetail, so I was stoked to try the Maven Maternity pants for my growing baby belly. I ordered the same size in the maternity pants as I have in my perfectly-fitting overalls, and they were way too small. The stretchy waist was just fine, but the legs were waaaay too tight. I thought maybe they'd loosen up a bit, but even walking around the house for a few minutes, they were pulling down past my butt. Perhaps if you have a different body shape than I do, these would work for you. Unfortunately, they don't work for me. I'm 5'6", about 165# pre-pregnancy (athletic and curvy), and I ordered the size 12.
