Hi Janelle!!! Question on sizing - i know you said TTS for the LESET Rio High Waist Straight Pant II, do you mean your pre-pregnancy size? or sizing 1 up to accommodate?

Hi Meighan!! You could go one of two ways here. Mine are my pre-pregnancy size, which is medium, and I was able to wear them for about 6 months of my pregnancy. The waist is quite high and stretchy, like a pair of leggings. Now, at 8 months pregnant, I cannot wear them anymore, so if I wanted to keep wearing them for the time I have until birth, I’d need a size up for that purpose. So depending on what you need it for! Hope that was helpful!

Love this post ❤️ I pretty much only wear Donni and Leset. Donni pointelle pants and a Margo tshirt are my personality at this point. I also love the Kyoto pants. They are so good! I need to try deiji studio still.

And congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting!

Those silky donni pants got me through every occasion from 10-28 weeks. Going out to dinner? Silky pants. On vacation and walking around a city? Silky pants. Thanksgiving? Silky pants. Wedding welcome party? Silky pants.

Pregnant ladies in comfy pants, unite! Thank you for breaking these down. I can attest that the Donni Pointelle collection is everything, and I love those Aerie Offline Fleece Joggers, too. Going to pick out a new pair to try from your list ASAP.

Thank you!!! I was lol’ing at your dm to me the other day because I was thinking “coming right up!” 🤣

Re writing romance: I love reading it but not sure if I could write it! The manuscript I did write has a tiny bit of romance, though. WE SHALL SEE! Never say never. ❤️

I was so excited to see this pop up! 1. Congratulations to you!! I hope you are doing as well as can be in your pregnancy. Sending love 🫶 2. I have truly needed a breakdown with this level of detail so thank you for your service! 3. I am almost 5’4 and love an ankle crop but most pants are too long, sigh. How cropped do you feel the donni baby scallop and pointelle are? I already know I will add to cart lol.

Saving this post!

I am only 5’2 and I can wear the baby scallop and the pointelle! Baby scallop falls at my ankle and the pointelle land above my ankle! I own them in multiple colors. I love them.

Thank you, Annie!! So I measured the inseam for you — I wear the medium and they’re both 28” inseam. I’m 5’5” and wear them high on the waist, so I get a nice little ankle crop with them. Maybe give it a try and see because they’re pretty flexible pants. Let me know what you think!
