These are by far the best maternity (and beyond) pants I've tried. I get terrible indigestion while pregnant and any pressure on my stomach (ANYWHERE) makes me nauseous, but the waist on these did not do that for me at all, which was a huge relief. The linen definitely shrinks in the wash, so recommend sizing up. I prefer to dry mine on low because they become softer than if they air dry. I own them in the olive color also and was able to wear them until late in pregnancy, a few days after delivery, and many times postpartum. Would love it if these came in more colors, or even thicker weight fabrics for colder months!

I am 3 weeks postpartum and as a first time mom, I appreciate how flexible, soft, and comfortable these pants are for my changing body! I can’t wait to continue wearing these this summer!

Beautiful color and stylish maternity pant. Goes well with the majority of my closet, making it a versatile piece. Can be dressed up for work or going out and for casual wear. The material does not have much give, but isn't a hinderance. Very happy to have found these when comfortable, yet stylish pants are so hard to find when pregnant.

These pants are amazing! I've struggled to find pants that work for me while pregnant and these are incredibly comfortable and I am confident will work for me throughout pregnancy and beyond. I'm currently 26 weeks, was a size 8/10 before pregnancy, and ordered a Large.

These pants are the most comfortable maternity pants ever! I love how I can dress them up or down! And they are not too long for short girls!

I am 8 months postpartum, and these quickly became a staple in my wardrobe. My little one is constantly on the move crawling all over and climbing up on EVERYTHING; these pants are so flexible and comfortable so it's one less thing to worry about while on the chase. Not to mention that these last through pregnancy and postpartum so you need to worry about changing sizes. These pants help me feel confident and stylish at all once while still maintaining practicality. Get these!

Loving how comfy these pants are! They fit so well postpartum, definitely going to wear them a lot this summer!

I’m 6 months postpartum and even though these pants are breathable and are for growing bellies- it’s amazing how sucked in I feel! So easy to dress up or dress down. I live in these pants!
Cora P.
These are my favorite maternity pants! Being a postpartum mom I’ve struggled with finding clothes that not only fit my postpartum body but are also comfortable. I love that I can also mix and match and dress them up or go for a more casual look. I’ll definitely be buying more!

I love these pants. Currently 36 weeks pregnant with my second child and these are by far my favorite maternity pants I own! I love how comfortable and cute they are. I will recommend these to any pregnant mama I know!

These maternity pant was life-changing for me, I purchased it when I was pregnant with my baby girl and I am already 17 months postpartum but still wearing it. I love everything about this pants the design, quality, color.
Gabrielle A.
Great pants for all stages of pregnancy. Bought a large (5'4" and currently 170 lbs) and began wearing them at about 4 mos pregnant. Currently 8 mos and they still work perfectly. Looking forward to wearing them postpartum. They are super comfy and look very neat.

Best maternity pants I’ve ever owned! Soft, comfortable and very stretchy. Grows with you through pregnancy. 10/10 would recommend to anyone expecting and postpartum.

I struggled terribly when I was pregnant & it came to maternity clothes. However, these pants have changed the game! I am 1 year post partum & trying for another baby. These pants are now a staple in my closet before, during & after baby!
Jesse G.
I love these pants so much! I love how they fit my postpartum body especially with the elasticity of the waistband. It gives me space to breathe and feel comfortable without making me look baggy or big in any way. I love that I can dress them up or down.
Definitely a new staple in my closet

I absolutely adore these pants! The color is stunning and the fabric is so light and airy, making them perfect for any occasion. But what I love most about them is how comfortable they are. I have been wearing them non-stop, especially now that most of my other pants don’t fit me.
I would love to see these pants in rust or black, as I would definitely be tempted to add another pair to my wardrobe. Overall, I highly recommend these pants to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable addition to their wardrobe.
Kelsey P.
Let’s be honest, a majority of us moms want to hide the mom pouch. And these pants do just that! I can wear them with a sweatshirt when chasing after the kids, or I can wear them out for a date. The ONLY problem I had with them was that they were quite big, but after 1 wash and 1 dry they shrunk a LOT. So now they fit just right, but I probably won’t be running them through the dryer again.
Amanda K.
Very cute and stylish and comfy! I’d give these 5 stars, but here are my two complaints: the knees are a bit tight, and the waist rides down a little. If I were to size up or down, I’d still have one problem or the other. I ordered a size medium, and I am 5’9, and 150 pounds, 26 weeks pregnant. I think a slightly wider leg around the knee area would be more comfy, but there’s no way a size large would stay up on me. Overall, they’re great, and I will be wearing them regularly. It’s just annoying to have the crotch slip down.

I love these pants! They are extremely comfortable and perfect for my changing belly! Some notes to prospective buyers - if you’re in between sizes, size up. I’m sometimes between a medium and a large, I chose a large which is great because these pants shrunk a bit after the first couple washes. Also, when I first tried them on, the linen fabric was extremely itchy. I washed them as instructed and ironed them, and they’ve been great ever since, glad I stuck with them!!

Amazing new life
I purchased my first pair of these in olive and had some issues with them after a few wears. I struggled with the seams ripping, the waist not staying up and eventually a busted pair that I could no longer wear. I was devastated because I wore these pants weekly. I reached out and shared my concerns along with my sadness. I was overwhelmed by the generosity of Emme and found out the pants had an upgrade. These pants are better than ever! The fabric is thicker, the waist stays up and the fit is AMAZING! This was the best shopping experience of my life and I cannot wait to buy more of these pants in other colors. I’m proud to be sporting around these beautiful pants and hope anyone reading reviews will buy a pair too.

Super cozy!
I love these pants! I'm just entering my second trimester and it feels like they will fit through all the different stages of pregnancy. They're well made and I'm hoping they breathe well with the linen being so nice. The green color is really pretty and they feel really really well made. I am so happy to have a nice pair of linen pants to wear that are also comfortable with my growing belly!
Kate
So comfy and cool
I just love these pants so much. Could live in them! Great for early pregnancy and supporting a growing bump. Even looking forward to wearing in postpartum. Love that these are made in small batches in the USA. I feel cloaked in love. :-)
Hailey
Loving these pants, cute and practical!
I LOVE these pants. I got them when I was first pregnant when couldn’t stand anything tight being on my stomach due to nausea. I am currently 24 weeks and still loving these pants! They grow so nicely with my bump and are just so comfortable especially since the linen keeps getting softer. I can tell they will last my entire pregnancy + I will definitely be able to wear them after as well.

Great pants!
I love these pants. They're not perfect, but they're close. The waistband is adequately stretchy and can easily fit around my 21 week, 5th child belly with stretch to spare. I haven't found it to be terribly itchy by the end of the day, but maybe just slightly so. Granted, everything feels good to get off the belly by bed time!
My (minor) qualms - they slide down. I did not size up and they fit me well everywhere else. If I had gone down a size I think they might be itchy in the waistband (even if they stayed up better), but too snug elsewhere. For pants in a fabric with no stretch, that wouldn't be good! Granted, I know they'll fit until delivery, but I do have to pull them back up with some regularity. My fear is that once I hit postpartum they'll be too loose and not stay up. For a spendy piece, I hope that's not the case.
Second, the waistband is sort of....thick. Squishy and stretchy and comfy, yes. But you either have to have a shirt tucked in or wear a loose/flowy top over them. A snug, modern maternity shirt hugs the thick waistband and just doesn't look nice.
All in all, I'd buy them again and am crossing all fingers and toes they'll still work for me postpartum!

My favorite maternity pants
Love at first wear! These are cute, comfortable, and help me feel quite put-together (not easy to achieve during pregnancy, and a welcome self-image booster!). The cut and type of elastic waist is quite clever- I'm optimistic that they will indeed be excellent non-maternity pants for years to come. It pairs really well with the white button-down shirt from Emme as well!
I've tried quite a few other styles of more maternity-specific pants (from other companies) that are purely functional, leave me feeling frumpy, and are designed to be worn only during pregnancy. This pair truly stands out as unique. Thank you for making this!
The one thing, as others noted, is that the elastic band does get... noticeable (I wouldn't go quite so far as to say itchy, but almost) by the end of the day. This is not an issue if you have something tucked in (I've started wearing a base layer tank top that I can keep tucked in). Also, I find that I can't put much in the pockets (definitely not my phone) without the weight pulling the pants down. Neither of these issues are dealbreakers for me, though- I still find myself wearing these pants all the time.

Great maternity pants
I bought these around 20 wks after I ripped my previous pair of linen non-maternity pants when sitting down. They are comfortable, a beautiful color, and I can tell they will last me all the way through my pregnancy as I continue to grow, and still be wearable afterwards as well! The waist design is really genius. I love having a pair of pants I can wear everyday and know will be comfortable and look good with many different tops.
Lexie
Breezy and Beautiful!
I love these pants! The color is beautiful, the fabric is breezy, they are versatile and most importantly - these pants are SO comfortable. I've been living in these, as most of my regular pants don't fit anymore at 16 weeks.
If you made these pants in a rust or black color, I would tempted to get another pair!
My only note is that it might be nice to make the waistband a bit softer if possible? However, these pants are so comfy it isn't a deal breaker for me.
Lydia
Comfy and stylish
I love these pants! I'm not pregnant (had my last baby 3.5 years ago) but these are way more comfy than leggings or other stretchy pants. The high waist makes it stylish especially if you like tucking things in such as a blousy top. I do think if you're not pregnant, you need to pull up the smocked part to be high-waist or else it looks a little unflattering, but when it hits higher, the look is intentional.
Olive is not normally a color I would choose, but it is deep and rich and a nice neutral. I definitely do not need more pants but am seriously tempted by the idea of black ones (I saw on IG that Emme is maybe making black ones of this style).
I was a little worried about maintaining linen, but I just pulled them out of the cold water wash cycle when done -- ahem, without letting it sit overnight in the washer like often happens -- shook it out, and hung it over the back of a chair to dry. It was certainly smooth enough to wear afterwards without any additional sprucing up in the dryer. Or an iron (what's that?).
Jessica Gilbert
Amazing!
Got these pants at 38 weeks and have been living in them. Still haven’t delivered so will need to update on them for PP but I bet I’m going to love them!!
Amy
Wonderful pant!
Love these pants! I purchased them when I was around 12 weeks, as most of the pants I own are a tighter fit and were already starting to be uncomfortable for full-day wear. At 15 weeks now, they're the perfect pant for throwing on with anything and knowing I'll be comfortable.
It might be nice to somehow line the waist with a softer fabric (though I'm sure that's a nightmare from a sewing perspective,) as the waist gets a bit itchy after a full day of wear, but this isn't a dealbreaker. I'd buy another pair in black, if available!
Kate
Truly the EVERYDAY pant
Now THIS is the pant that every pregnant and postpartum mom needs. The waistband is so comfortable and the color is gorgeous. I've been living in these pants lately.

Pure Comfort
I love these pants! I love the color, the linen and how perfectly comfortable they are. I’m not even pregnant and I wear them all the time. I love to wear dresses since I hate tight things around my waist but these are as comfortable as a dress. I’d love to see them in a natural colored linen as well.
Paige
Best pants I own!
I absolutely adore these pants, I’ve already worn them twice! They’re so breathable and versatile! Can’t wait to wear this piece through all walks of my life!
