I've purchased maternity jeans at Gap & a couple pairs at various other stores. All were a waste of money, they either sagged or fell down or were too tight across the abdomen. With these Motherhood stretch jeans, they stay up, have the perfect amount of stretch & fit like a glove. I'm a curvy, size 10, 5'8" & these fit SO well. I did have to get them hemmed a bit but who cares! A medium fit perfect otherwise. It was worth the few extra bucks to hem them. Forget the Gap Maternity Jeans I spent over twice as much for that cut into me when I sit & hardly had stretch. Get these. Its the only pair of jeans I care to wear (at 6 months pregnant). I think they will fit me another couple months too! :) Very happy with my purchase.
