I agree though, it's really hit or miss, but I find it's that way everywhere.
That *exact* same thing happened to me with the twisted strap (on a dress I got from Banana Republic). I just fixed this past weekend (even though I bought the dress in September) it, literally took me 5 minutes to unstitch and resew. I was surprised at how easy it was because the strap was sooo messed up.
I tried several different styles and sizes from ON. None of them fit well. The store here doesn't carry much but I did go and try things on at the store before ordering. I'm not a fan of ON in general, though. I find their clothes to be very poorly made. Same with Target. I've bought a few things (not maternity) from Target that did not hold up. Also, like ON, the fabrics are very thin (=cheap?). I tried to suck it up, though, because it's maternity that I won't wear for long. If something had fit, I would have kept it. I did get some really comfy velour pants from Motherhood. They are very soft and stretchy and comfie and only $9. I'd get a couple more in different colors if I could.
As for the bathing suit strap, I don't sew. I thought of taking it to a tailor to have fixed. It might not cost any more than shipping for an exchange. However, then it's the principle of the thing. They need to know when they are sending defective products. I've got time to exchange it one more time.
I wish there were more stores in my area that carry maternity. Sometimes I can find things at Ross but I have to have the time the search through the racks. That's hard to come by with 2 LOs and a dh who's not home much.
I saw those pants at Motherhood and really wanted to get them. I have some non-maternity ones that should fit the whole time though, so I didn't indulge, although at that price it was hard to say no.
And for some reason I missed that it was a bathing suit strap ... yea, no way I'd attempt to fix that. I'm not a sewer either, my dress was pretty simple and silk so easy to fix the one 1/2 width of stitches. Nothing more frustrating that having to return clothes for defects. So annyoing.
I agree with you, Ross can totally be good for maternity if you have the patience to search their racks..and like you, with LO's in tow, I've found that to be next to impossible.

I love it! Me too. I borrowed a tankini from my friend, but have a bikini that I'm going to use as well.
