27 Weeks Amalli Talli Tall Maternity Friendly Clothing
I’m just hitting 27 weeks, and the end of the 2nd trimester and I’m full on bumping over here. The glucose test appointment is this week, which naturally makes me nervous. We’ve been in major nesting mode. Caitlin and I went on the hunt for the perfect nursery rug this weekend, we’re zeroing in on a couple that we think will go with the paint color we picked! In the meantime, the number one question is still, what are you wearing for tall maternity clothing?! The short answer, I’ve been wearing Amalli Talli tall maternity friendly clothing!
So with that in mind, I wanted to write this post. I know we’re all on varying budgets. For myself (and at least this pregnancy) I’ve obviously been slow to buy “maternity specific” clothing. It often is not reasonably priced and the double whammy of not being tall maternity clothing. Plus the “tall maternity” I have found isn’t anything great either. SO, today’s post is an ode to the clothing that is seeing me through my pregnancy thus far but will also be just as relevant beyond pregnancy.
Meet Amalli Talli. Just kidding, you’ve seen them on here so many times at this point. But let me reintroduce you to them as a tall maternity friendly clothing option.
Like I’ve written before, I have a penchant for cropped items. It might be an oxymoron but I do buy “tall crops” at least. This doesn’t pay off for maternity wear when your belly just keeps getting bigger and needing more fabric. So that writes off a lot of items from the jump. It left me momentarily scratching my head wondering what I could wear to get through this icy Winter.
Amalli Talli
The lightbulb clicked on when I finally got my clothing unpacked in my new closet. I could see/recall what I owned. Amalli Talli to the rescue! They cut all of their tops/sweaters to the perfect proportions. I started throwing on the items I owned and was supremely relieved to find it was tall maternity friendly clothing!
Long Length Tops
Last month, I had ordered the green henley and the mauve ribbed turtleneck when they dropped. I hemmed and hawed and dm’d them to ask about sizing. Although they recommended sizing up to large to accommodate the growing bump, I’d rather have it fit in the long run and stuck with my size medium. So far, so good with the fit of both for the bump and that is thanks to their generous length!
Tall Leggings
Another item that is easy to reach for and is growing well with the bump; are the faux leather leggings! In hindsight I could have gotten away with doing size medium, but now I’m super grateful for the large because they are still very comfortable. I know a lot of women are split on whether they like pressure on their pregnant bellies and I think I’m with the camp that doesn’t mind the pressure. The Amalli camo leggings I did buy in size medium and probably don’t need THAT much pressure on the belly now (just for sizing reference).
I also scoured their site months ago and snatched up the white crewneck in a size large as a perfect layering option for pregnancy. It is such a luxe feeling long sleeve with the double layer body, while still also so slimming and flattering. I will say, Caitlin ordered the white crewneck as well when it dropped second round and in a size medium. She wishes now that she would have done small, so they may be cut slightly more generously this go round.
Tall Sweaters
Lastly, I only shot the red mock neck sweater for this post, which I’m sadly realizing is already sold out! I have to say that their other new sweater drops this season (the Estes here and the Adele here) have been magnificent for the belly as well. You can check out our original shots of those sweaters here and here. Plus I have one of their cardigans from last season and the Spencer cardigan from this season fits the same (Caitlin bought it). Basically, if you’re stopping yourself from buying from them because of the bump, don’t delay you won’t regret having it for now AND after! A lot of items are currently on sale on their site. We just heard they are doing a new drop this week that will include athletic leggings! You won’t regret buying Amalli Talli tall maternity friendly clothing because you can wear now AND after. That’s just smart shopping.
Loved this write-up so much! Amalli Talli is fabulous on SO many levels and it’s awesome that their normal styles work for maternity so that you can wear them before, during and after a pregnancy! BTW – Stay tuned for my Tall Mom’s Guide to Baby Gear that I’ll be publishing soon! I see a lot of tall moms-to-be asking around about strollers, carriers etc. and I know I definitely did a lot of Googling about this stuff so figured I might as well put together some info now that I’m over 2 years in to motherhood. haha! So excited for your little bundle to arrive!
Definitely will keep my eye out for this one!! I cannot wait either! Thank you!
