Clothing Tag overload - vent

Is it me?? Ever since I've been buying maternity clothing, I've realized the tags are ridiculous!! Everything - yoga pants, shirts, jeans, tanks, you name it has a ginormous tag on the left side. What the dickens is that all about? The shirt may even have a screen printed tag in the normal location but a HUGE tag on the side! Even my maternity bikini panties - the tag is wider than the side of the underwear! Do the clothing makers do this to torture pregnant women? To give us one more thing to go off on?? Maybe it's just me, but I find it really annoying. And itchy. Agh. Thanks for the place to vent! Now where are my scissors?

I thought I was the only one that noticed that!  I mean seriously.. what is up with the tags!  Are they writing a novel on how to wash a tshirt!?!?

I cut them all out already.

I have had the same issue with mainly my Motherhood brand shirts. I haven't noticed it so much with my Target clothes, and I only have a few things from  Kohls. But I have to cut them out.

Everything about maternity clothes sucks.  The lack of color selection, the cheap materials, the giant itchy tags, the outrageous cost...if I had any inkling of how to do it, I'd start my own maternity line.

I noticed that too! They don't get softer like normal tags once they have been washed either! I keep saying I want to design maternity clothes for plus size people...wow our options are limited and come on I am not the only person who needs larger clothes!

I hear ya on clothing size! I'm 5'2 - my pant choices are black or gray. Dresses hang to nearly my ankels. I can only find petite maternity at resonable costs at Motherhood - nothing at Target, Kohls, Old Navy, JCPennys, etc.

And of course, all of it is online if there is anything - and that means having to buy a ton or pay a crapload of shipping.

There's nothing for tall girls either! I'm 5'8" and all of the pants at motherhood are too short for me. ugh!

I had the same problem when I was looking for a dress for DH's Christmas party for work. Every dress I tried on looked ridiculous because they were too long Sad

Yes.  The tags are ridiculous.  Here and there I think something got stuck in my shirt only to realize it's another tag.  The Motherhood jeans are guilty, too.  I'm not sure why they feel pregnant women need extremely large tags.

When I was traveling for work, my [male] colleague was continuously tucking my tag into the neck of my shirt.  I have people walk up to my desk behind me and tuck them in, too.

I don't want to cut them out, though, in case I pass the clothes on.
