Everyday Transitional Maternity Smocked Linen Pant

My friend, who recently had a baby, recommended these pants to me after I became pregnant. I love linen and the style of these pants. Seeing them in person on my friend was helpful before deciding to spend the $. Overall, I'm very pleased with the fit and feel of these pants. I think they will serve me well in this pregnancy and beyond. My reason for only 4 stars is, unfortunately, they arrived sealed in the package with what looks like two fist-sized grease stains on the left front pocket and smocked waistband. I'm not sure why they arrived in this condition since the pants are brand new. Disappointing to receive after paying ~$90 for high-quality pants. Threw them in the wash on a cool, gentle cycle which helped to fade them but I'm going to try a careful spot clean next. Thankfully, the green color is darker, so the stains are not as noticeable as they could be on a lighter color. If I had gotten a lighter color with stains like this, I definitely would have returned/exchanged.

I was “influenced” to buy these and was skeptical about how good they would actually fit, but I have to admit, they are amazing. I now have them in 3 colors and am pretty much living in them. Currently 22 weeks with my second and I think I’ll be able to wear these throughout the rest of my pregnancy. I wish I had known about these with my first! They wash well (I did cold delicate cycle and air dried, and then did a quick pass with a handheld steamer once dry). I think the fit actually improves after the first wear/wash. I got my pre-pregnancy size M and they fit exactly how I’d want them. Definitely recommend!

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and got a medium. All my other maternity pants were getting too uncomfortable to wear. I hate the hot, itchy full panels when the weather gets warmer, and the below belly ones push in on my bladder and my belly where the baby's head is! So uncomfortable! When I first got these, I was a little disappointed because they looked small, were a little snug around my thighs, and kept slipping down off my belly. But I decided to keep wearing them and they did stretch to fit me better. They still slip down sometimes, but not as much as at first. After "breaking them in," they are more comfortable than any other maternity pant I've worn. The linen is soft and good quality, not too thin or scratchy, and I haven't even washed them yet. Since I still have 2 and a half months of this pregnancy to go, I am not sure if they will work till the end, but I hope so as I have no other option. I am looking forward to wearing them post-partum. I love the soft, linen fabric: it's much more comfortable to wear in hot weather than jeans or those hot, itchy polyester fabrics! I will buy more down the road when I have the money. I think a wider waistband would improve the fit of these. My belly is very round and not oval like some women's. I think the way my round belly sticks out right away makes it harder to keep these pants up on me than women with a more oval-shaped belly.

I am 5’8’’ and 120-125lbs pre-pregnancy. Ordered size small extended inseam in olive green and burnt orange early in 2nd trimester and they continue to fit through today at 38 weeks 150lbs and 40” belly circumference. I same excited to wear post-partum as I regularly get compliments on them (even before I was visibly pregnant or telling anyone!)

I wear them below my belly, but they do stretch to fit the biggest part of my belly. I find that they currently slide less when I tuck in my shirt or wear an undershirt than when they are directly on my skin. I often wear with tucked in undershirt and sweater on top. They did not slide when my belly was smaller.

Extended inseam fit to the ankle at 5’8” but wouldn’t for taller folks so just know how you like it to look.
