I secretly couldn’t wait to be pregnant and wear Quince’s line of maternity clothing. Even before needing any maternity clothing, I went through all the Quince maternity products and pressed the “heart” icon to add them to my Quince wishlist in my account.

Then the day came: around 13 weeks pregnant, my pants stopped fitting and it was time to order the Quince maternity apparel I had been dreaming of!

In this review, I’ll tell you about the fit and quality so that you can decide if Quince’s maternity collection is where you want to get all your outfits for your new pregnancy wardrobe.

A big thank you to Quince for providing the products from Quince’s maternity collection for this review; all thoughts, photos and opinions are completely my own and this review is not sponsored.

What to know about Quince’s maternity collection (a summary)

  • Quince’s maternity line is similar to Quince’s clothes for women in that the apparel features solid colors, timeless styles, cashmere knits and some intimates.
  • I even found some button-down linen maternity shirts in Quince’s maternity line, which means if you’ve fallen for Quince basics before getting pregnant, you’ll be able to score similar styles in Maternity.
  • Prices are super affordable, compared to other maternity brands I’ve seen and tried; especially for non-cashmere items and basic fabrics, you can shop Quince maternity on a budget.
  • As I’m a petite woman, I found that some of the bottoms ran long, as did the tops. In my ordering, I tried to nitpick the photos of models and avoid any styles that looked like they ran long to begin with.

What to know about me, before you read the review

I am 5’2” and started my second pregnancy (when I tried Quince maternity clothes) at 105-108 pounds. I typically wear petite sizes and styles from petite-forward brands in my regular life. I even reviewed Quince for petites.

Most brands making maternity apparel don’t make petite sizing, though. I assume there’s just not enough demand for it. So, I wear “regular’ maternity clothes, as you’ve seen in my Nike Maternity review and my Kindred Bravely maternity review.

As I comment on fit, you’ll often see me talking about how long things run or how I’m drowning in the sleeves. If you’re also a petite, you’ll relate; if not, you can breeze past all these comments and hone in on my commentary about the product quality, styles and feels.

One more note: I took all the photos here when I was only 15 weeks pregnant, so you’ll barely see that growing baby bump. I got my Quince maternity haul early so that I could start enjoying it!

Bottoms (Joggers, Pants, Shorts)

As I realized I didn’t like any of the maternity pants from my last pregnancy (I had fiercely tried to avoid buying maternity clothes), I opted to try a variety of the Quince maternity styles for bottoms.

Mongolian Cashmere Maternity Joggers

I put them on and they were like a hug for my legs. The waistband is an under-belly style, and it’s thick and stretchy with a drawstring.

Overall, these ran long on me, but as I mostly plan to wear them around the house on chilly nights during my pregnancy winter, it’s fine. They bunch up a bit at the bottom, as you can see in the photo. This wasn’t surprising, as Quince doesn’t typically make standard size pants geared toward petite inseams like the ones my legs require.

Bamboo Crop Flare Pants (28” inseam)

Yes, yes, yes!!! I put these on and said, “Oh, these are CUTE,” and Dan said, “Those look good,” which is a big stamp of approval from Dan.

Immediate thoughts in my head were: “I can wear these out for my night out with girlfriends this weekend, and they’ll replace my so-last-year maternity skinny jeans that I can’t wait to phase out. I can dress these up, dress these down and wear them around the house (or to daycare pickup to grab my older kid). I could wear them for a nice photo when I announce my pregnancy.”

They’re STRETCHY, and with a firm upper over-belly waistband. On the model on Quince’s website, they’re like a crop flare, but for me, they hit my ankles and they’ll just be “regular flare pants.” I’m not mad about it this time, though!

Bamboo Jersey Crop Flare Pants (25” inseam)

I did a double take because I had just tried on the Crop Flare Pants, and I was confused. I read the labels three times. Then I held each pair up against each other, and these Jersey Crop Flare pants are slightly shorter. They actually did fit me like a real “crop.”

I find that they have MORE space in the waistband area, so they’ll be good at the end of my third trimester when I’m scrounging for what to wear, and how to look good. I think the firmness of the waistband in the 25” Crop Flare Pants above (not sure why the waistbands feel different) will be better suited toward second trimester and beginning of the third, for me.

Tencel Jersey Maternity Under Belly Lounge Shorts (2-Pack)

I wanted to make sure I tried one pair of maternity shorts from Quince. Based on the fit alone, these will be the shorts that I wear “in the house only” because of how long they run. I think if I were 5’10” and not 5’2,” with longer legs, these would be super cute and I might consider wearing them around the neighborhood or out to the supermarket.

Alas, though, they run lo-o-o-ong on me, and they’ll remain as pajamas. They are soft and stretchy, with an under-belly fit. I often sleep in shorts all year-round, so these are probably going to be my go-to pajamas, and there’s nothing wrong with that! It means I won’t be stretching out all my regular shorts and then regretting wearing them at 40 weeks pregnant.

Tops (Hoodies, Tees, Sweaters)

Knowing that Quince makes both tees and sweaters/hoodies for maternity, I set out to try both. My reviews are below.

SuperSoft Fleece Maternity & Nursing Hoodie

In the photos online, it looked to me like this hoodie would be like a thin layer, more like a long-sleeve shirt with a hood. I was wrong! The inside is a soft fleece-style lining and the sweatshirt is overall heavier than I expected. I like it though—a lot.

And as for nursing access, because it is a dual maternity-nursing hoodie, there are hidden zipper access points down each side, and they open pretty low, so you can get your baby in there for breastfeeding at any angle. Bravo, Quince, on this one!

Tencel Jersey Maternity Ruched Tee, 2-Pack

The best part about this two-pack of ruched V-neck tees is the ruched sides. They give me a cute and firm fit, and I feel flattered in them. My only critique is that for an XS, they run big on the shoulders. I can hide this with a jean jacket and a scarf in fall and winter, so unless I’m wearing them on their own, they won’t look as big as they are on me.

If you are a true to size XS, you’ll probably find a perfect fit in these. The thing for me is that due to my narrow shoulders I typically find that regular and standard XS tops have extra space in the shoulder measurement.

Modal Jersey Maternity & Nursing Pocket Tee, 2-Pack

Main idea on these is that on me, they run big everywhere. Even when I have a beachball-sized baby in my belly, the back is going to run long and my shoulders won’t have expanded enough to fit the size of the shoulder seams on top.

I like these, though, they are uber stretchy, incredibly soft and a classic style that you can get for your first pregnancy and keep for your third or fourth (lol). Maternity shirts like this aren’t going off-trend anytime soon.

Mongolian Cashmere V-Neck Maternity Sweater

I don’t want you to be turned away by my 50/50 fit review of the Quince Maternity V-Neck sweater: it is a wonderful maternity product for a fall and winter pregnancy and it is truly timeless.

For me, I had high hopes: of course because I want to really like Quince cashmere (I have the Quince cashmere shawl!), and I also want to be cozy and chic in it during my pregnancy.

At the end of the day, I personally run too small for the size XS cashmere sweater from the maternity line. It’s too wide in the shoulders and armpits for me, but again, if you are a true-to-size person, you will probably have great luck. If you’re in doubt and in between sizes, maybe size down! Or, order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit.

I also got the color Oatmeal, which looks great on the model on the Quince website, and kind of washes me out. I could’ve guessed this, but I liked the look and cozy fall color of it. I don’t think I have the right skin tone for a warm cappuccino brown like this, and I would’ve fared better with my favorite color, Black (haha).

Verdict: Should you try the Quince maternity collection?

Absolutely YES. If you wear regular sizes between XS and XL, the Quince maternity collection is made for YOU during your pregnancy. (And if you’re me, most of the XS’s will be good for bottoms, for oversized tops and for layering!)

I think what is unbeatable is the pricing. I’ve seen maternity leggings for $100, just because brands can price-gauge pregnant shoppers with these “specialty items.” At Quince’s maternity line, you’ll find leggings for under $30 and $40, and shorts under $35 and $25. It makes maternity shopping for great timeless pieces (that you can wear in your NEXT pregnancy) affordable.

I also like that while so much of the Quince maternity line is basic (basic leggings, basic bike shorts, basic tees, basic dresses) there are ways to scale up and elevate to luxe, like the Mongolian Cashmere Maternity Joggers and the Washable Silk Maternity Dress.

So, if you’re looking for things to do in your first trimester, start perusing Quince’s maternity line and start your wish list like I did. I’m having a great experience with the maternity clothes from Quince, just like I had a great experience with everything from the Quince home collection that I reviewed.
