Lived in these and bought them!

Very good maternity shorts IF you like to wear them under the belly. I could have probably gone one size larger than my pre pregnancy weight, but they held up pretty great till well into my third trimester. Stretchy material, great color, overall really cute lil jeans shorts!

Tiny!

Man, these are small. I ordered the 29 which I think is the biggest size available and they were snug. I’m usually a 27 in denim. I’m 8 months pregnant, but honestly I think they would’ve been tight if I was 4 months along.

I Could Live in These Shorts

I was so happy to find shorts that didn't squeeze my preggo belly. Felt like a hot mama in these. They were so comfortable and yet stylish

I liked the cut!

I read reviews that said these ran small so I went with a slightly bigger size but I liked to cut! Didn't feel frumpy

Amazing maternity shorts for 2nd tri and beginning of 3rd

I adored these in my 2nd trimester (size 26) and sized up 1 size (27). So flattering and cute! I rented them on repeat throughout the summer! now that I'm in my 3rd (30 weeks) I could keep wearing them but they're getting a little uncomfortable/ tight on my bump when I sit

Easy maternity wear

These shorts are awesome. They do not come off as maternity wear, they just look like regular shorts, which is awesome. The material has stretch in addition to the elastic waistband. I wore these in my regular size (27) with my 21 week bump. Can't wait to try the other colors.

Ordered my normal size

I ordered my normal size and they are great. Normally I struggle with Jean shirts being too large in the thighs and these were perfect and not super short.

cute, flattering, runs small

heading says it all. really liked them but needed to size up, so were a bit uncomfortable. So, if you are farther along in your pregnancy, size up from your normal size!

Cute shorts. A hit short for me and too tight for my 22 month bump. Would have worked in a size up.

Runs Small

I was a size 26 pre-pregnancy and sized one up at the recommendation of RTR (I wanted a larger size, but the 27 was the only one available). These may have fit in the first trimester, but I received them during my 2nd and they were way too small. They are super cute, I wish a larger size had been available. I was around 120 lbs pre-pregnancy and around 140 when I received these shorts. I recommend sizing up at least 2 sizes, if not more if you want these to fit you.

Size up

Couldn’t get them buttoned and it looked like my thighs were eating the frayed fringe. Nope.

Size up 2 sizes

Pre-pregnancy I was size 27 in Joe's jeans. These fit me OK in size 28 but looked kind of like skinny jeans (tight). Recommend size up 2 sizes.

SHORT AND SMALL

Couldn't wear. Pre-pregnancy I was normally a 25 and I ordered a 27 due to the reviews. These were still soooo tight on my legs. I definitely gained more weight in my butt and thighs, but sizing up should have covered that.
