Pre-pregnancy I was a size 8/10 and had already gained over ten pounds in the first trimester, so I purchased a size 2 of the Belly Leggings. The knit material of the leggings is very soft, shiny and comfortable. However, the fit is not so great; I'm 5'3" so these leggings are way too long, they bunch up at the bottom. After wearing them for a little while, the crotch starts to sag and it feels like the I'm wearing a drop crotch style pants. That would be fine normally except these are leggings not sweats. The belly coverup is decent, not too snug yet (I'm only in the beginning of my second trimester), but at least the belly cover-up feels good. Currently when I wear these leggings, they require pulling up every few minutes; otherwise these do look like MC Hammer leggings. Not optimal indeed!! And as for the construction, like the other reviewer, I agree. The seams tear very easily; the stitching in general needs to be reinforced better. For the price of this, I do expect better overall.
