These leggings are exactly what I was looking for. Lots of room to expand at the (high) waistline, soft material, nicely detailed and feminine lace trim. What more can a lady want in maternity styles? I could see these being tight for larger ladies, or those with thicker calves/thighs, so buyer be ware. For me, they are prefect and will go great with flowy tunic tops and dresses as my pregnancy progresses this summer (due in early October). For reference, I'm 5'4, 128lbs pre-pregnancy, usually a size M in normal clothes. I plan to get the other styles; it's good to have options! I'd even consider wearing them postpartum as the waist tightens in to fit a normal-sized, non-pregnant lady. They are super affordable and really comfortable!
