Old Navy "longs" are not long enough, I have to get their "talls" online ... and I often have a terrible time with fit at my waist (curvy, everything gapes at the back, have to have a higher waist, etc) so buying online is really not ideal. Although, I'm thinking that the stretchy panel thing may actually make the fit of maternity pants more flexible. Maybe I should just find someone with free return shipping and give a bunch of different styles a try before we move.
I'm 5'11" and I have had good luck with JCPenney & Gap maternity pants and I get the underbelly ones and they are almost too long on me. I even got the Gap regulars, they have talls too. But yeah, definitely underbelly styles, the over the belly styles for me just are constantly sliding down anytime I move. But definitely try a bunch on, consignment stores are the best if you have one, and walk around in them, sit, squat, etc. so you can make sure they will work for you! I'm a big hips, big butt girl with a relatively smaller waist and I need the extra umph in the underbelly styles to keep them up. Oh and I also like the JcPenny & Gap ones I got (long & lean was the style name) as they aren't super tight. I'm sure there are people out there who like those super tight pants/jeans, but I like a relaxed fit and both of those were very relaxed but still stay up.
