I miss my jeans. I haven't bought a BellaBand and the trick with the ponytail holder isn't so comfortable for me.
I just bought a pair of denim leggings/jeans (jeggings?) that are low rise, so they clear my bump. They feel more like jeans than a regular legging, but they pull on -- no zippers. I can't find them online, but I got them for around $12 at Forever 21. I'm wearing them now and am so happy to be in jeans again!
My friend Diane knew of me missing my jeans and she sent me a link to a company that can take your regular jeans and make them maternity jeans. Then after you have the baby (or babies for moms of multiples), they will return them to the original.
Very interesting. But how much is it going to cost me?
It's $60 for Denim Therapy, an online service where you mail your jeans in and they will insert side seams to accommodate your bump. They will return them back to original form after. Can a tailor do it? Maybe a good (and willing one). They also offer the service of repairing the holes in your jeans so you never knew they were there, and more. Hmm.... I wish I was more skilled in design and with a needle and thread.
I have some pricey jeans, but my very favorite pairs are under $25 -- one from a sample sale another from...yep, my go-to, Forever 21.
Does it make sense to spend $60 to have your favorite jeans transformed into maternity jeans and back again after pregnancy?

Not for me, my jeans are all $15-20. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I just shopping the clearance rack and bought cute lowcut jeans in bigger sizes. I did cry when I bought a size 12 (I'm normally a 3 and was 18 and single, so it seemed traumatizing at the time.) I'll probably try to do the same with the next one, plus lots of cute skirts for work.
yes i spend ridiculous money on jeans and i ruined a perfectly good pair(200 dollars worth) by cutting the top a little bit to make them a bit bigger when i was preggo, hubby nearly killed me ;)
I would not spend that much for a pair of jeans.
That's stupid. You could spend $60 at Old Navy, especially with good coupons from their website, and have a whole maternity wardrobe.
I'm a little skeptical of just altering your jeans, but I'm having a big pregnancy. You might do this early on, but then get a lot bigger and the altered jeans would no longer fit. I'd spend the money on maternity jeans with a big panel to be on the safe side - JCPenney has a couple really cute pairs for $40 and H&M Mama has a great pair of skinny maternity jeans. Also, I think, around $40.
ummmm.....probably not, but if you really wanted to do it its cool that someone offers it.
Eh... a rubber band and a long shirt works just as well.
