Maternity Clothes

Sorry if this have been discussed ad nausem, but I couldn't find anything using the search function.

Where do you ladies find maternity clothes?

I'll ultimately be needing dress clothes (shirts + pants) because I work in a professional environment, where playing "dress-up" is a daily occurrence. I'm hoping that a bellyband will allow me to use the same pants for a while, but once that time passes by, where to next?

FWIW, I'm 5'10" and already have issues finding pants long enough, as well as shirts. I'd love any suggestions because, honestly, I don't know where to start. I'd definitely open to online shopping, heck I'd actually prefer it, to tell you the truth.

 Thanks in advance.

I like the idea of stealing work shirts from my husband when I get too big.

If you're tall, Old Navy and Kohl's pants will both be too short for you. I'm only 5'7" (size 2) and never had any luck with pants there nor at Target.

Like pp said, Gap has long length maternity pants. Pea in the Pod is expensive, but designer brand jeans are always way longer.

I am also 5'10" and have the same problem finding long enough jeans.  Looking online I found that Motherhood Maternity makes a tall maternity jean.  Their prices for some do not seem to bad, that have some on sale for $19.99.  We have one store here locally so I was going to go and browse in the next few days to see if I could find something I liked.

Motherhood Maternity has both dress pants and jeans in long lengths, so I'd go there and try some on. Keep in mind that their clothes are not preshrunk, so if they're not awesomely long, definitely wash delicate and don't dry them, and see if there's enough hem to let them down a little. The good thing about Motherhood is there's always some kind of sale going on, so if you check the store or website (or better yet, get on their mailing list), you can follow the sales and stock up when you need. You get coupons when you're on the mailing list, too!
