These maternity pants have a beautiful silhouette that doesn't look like maternity wear. They also have a distressed finish, making them a popular denim choice. I purchased these from someone else and wore them a few times. As they are maternity pants, I was able to wear them comfortably even in my final month of pregnancy without feeling constricted. I recommend them for enjoying denim outfits during pregnancy. Immediately after giving birth, your belly may not have completely returned to its pre-pregnancy size, and your pelvis may have widened, making it difficult to wear your original bottoms. These pants will likely be useful after giving birth as well. If you'd like to try maternity denim, how about these? *The first owner apparently tore the waistband on the right side when putting them on, and they have been sewn. I did not experience any tearing while wearing them. Please refer to image 7. If you are at all concerned, please refrain from purchasing. *The model in image 1 is wearing a size M, but the item for sale is a size L, so please be aware of this.
