OUR FABRIC

Made with Reedcloth™

60% grass linen / 40% cotton · 160–260 GSM

Our proprietary blend, developed over two years of testing. Grass linen (ramie) is a species in the nettle family — stronger when wet than dry, naturally antibacterial, and the closest thing to a technical fiber that exists in the plant world. The 40% cotton softens the hand without giving up performance.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I tested via QIMA — the threshold used for infant clothing. We test to this level because pregnant and postpartum skin is more reactive than average.

    Wish they were a little higher waisted like the standard pants, but love the wide leg and cropped length!

    Great pants but be prepared for shrinkage

    First of all, let me say that I'm a huge Emme fan. I'm going through my second pregnancy and stocked up on a bunch of things after getting a second-hand dress from them during my first pregnancy that is in constant rotation. Initially, I loved these pants. I'm 5'3" and the length on me was just right (I was looking for something that would cover the tops of my shoes and these were nice and long). The texture and color were perfect. I wore them a bunch of times before deciding to take the plunge and wash them. I washed on cold and air dried, but unfortunately this was not sufficient to keep them from shrinking significantly (I'd estimate about 2"). They went from luxurious full-length linen trousers to more of a cropped length (and a bit snugger fit). I still like them, and the color and texture weathered the wash alright , but going to the shorter length was a real bummer for me. In fairness, I did forget to wash on gentle cycle, so it's possible that that would have prevented the shrinkage, but after some googling, I also learned that linen can shrink 4-10% during the first wash. I wish that Emme had included a warning about the potential for shrinkage in their (otherwise very helpful) care instructions.

    SOOO comfy!!!

    I've had 2 babies in the past few years and am in 1st trimester with number 3. I am really tired of cheap maternity clothes that are too ratty to wear after a few months and don't look cute anyway. I LOVE these pants. Worth every dollar. Please make more colors in this style!!!!! I can't wait to wear these through my whole pregnancy and beyond.

Yes — that's the point. The waistband flexes back down, so it works through postpartum recovery and well beyond. Most customers keep wearing them long after — they don't read as maternity, which is the whole idea.

Machine wash cold on gentle, hang dry. natural fiber softens with every wash. Two honest notes so nothing surprises you: the fabric has a natural, lived-in texture and will wrinkle — that's the fiber, not a flaw
