They list Babystar as a stockist too. Have you tried the Max ones Ginger? And I still have my jeans from uni when I couldnt afford food and was nice and skinny (but rather hungry!! funnily enough allmy clothes were Max and Stax and Principles and I had great shoes - just no food, haha). one day......]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:06:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=456021&title=yim-maternity-jeans#456021 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : THAT&#039;s what I wanted to know!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455601&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455601 Author: ginger

THAT's what I wanted to know! The lady I spoke to on the phone said that you need to buy them reeeally firm because they give about half a size, but I'm going into the store tomorrow to have a looksee, so thank you so much for that! I'll keep it in mind when I'm investigating. Might be a sit test and a few lunges are required. Luckily, when you spend that sort of money though, the shops will usually take them back.]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:27:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455601&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455601 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : I brought some YIM jeans last...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455434&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455434 Author: katie1

I brought some YIM jeans last week - so expensive aren't they but they do look really cool initially. I ended up taking them back the next day though because after trying them back on again at home I felt like they constantly slipped down and showed your bum crack! (not a nice look!!!) I found that they looked good when you were just standing still but I didn't think they would be so practical for me bending down to a toddler etc.
They do look awesome though until you have to move too much. They don;t look at all like maternity jeans.

Not blimmin likely am I butchering any of my non-preggy jeans    I'm holding onto the vague and likely useless hope that I'll be able to fit my ass in them post-baby (and I'm not spilling on the price tag either, but in other less budgety bad news - DH and I have managed to shave $80 off our fortnightly grocery shops! Weee!)

We shall definitely hang out though when you come to Aucklandtown I'm looking forward to it!!]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:10:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455354&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455354 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : So what&#039;s the price tag huh...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455152&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455152 Author: nikkitheknitter

So what's the price tag huh Ginger?

If you have a fave pair that you don't mind butchering then I am coming up to Auckland soon and potentially have access to a sewing machine so can sew you a stretchy waist band if you'd like?]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:39:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455152&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455152 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : I bought some yummy mummy ones...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455089&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455089 Author: MummyFreckle

I bought some yummy mummy ones from Smarty Pants on Williamson Ave, they had heaps of differnent pairs there (some new some 2nd hand), I think I tried on about 6 pairs. The YM ones I got came right up over the top of my bump, which given I carried all through winter was great as I never got that "cold gap" between my jeans and my tops. I also wore them a lot with dresses over them. ]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:38:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=455089&title=yim-maternity-jeans#455089 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : LOL, I feel honoured!

LOL, I feel honoured! 

I know what you mean too.  This is partly why I'm going so hard out to get back my pre-preggy tone (and it's about time too).  Plus if it takes us a while to work on #2 I have all summer to look decent before I can use the "preggy" excuse.

I only like the ones with a big stretchy lycra band on top - and the two pairs I have are made by me
You might not have the same problem - as it will be getting warmer when your bump is bigger - but I now love to have the band pulled up high - usually wear hipster pants but my tummy kept getting cold as suddenly all my tops were too short ]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:22:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=454964&title=yim-maternity-jeans#454964 <![CDATA[YIM Maternity Jeans : Ooo they look good!

Sounds like the same sort of theory Kelly ... adjustable waistbands seems to be the way to go. I bought a pair of pants which I can adjust during the day (I'm always bigger in the afternoon) and they're absolute BLISS

Thank goodness it's not just me    I really, reeeeally wanted the EGG jeans because the brand was No.9 but poor No.9 doesn't like them at all! I thought they'd get better as I got bigger, but they actually get more uncomfortable. It's probably just my shape, but ack!

I think I'm going to chuck my EGG ones on Trademe ... which seems a waste of money, but better than them sitting in a drawer doing nothing

Has anyone had a pair of these? Did you looove them?

I have a pair of EGG jeans that I bought, but I've found that I can't wear them. It's something in the positioning of the band - it presses on my stomach (and squishes it in) and makes me feel blah, but if I push the band down the jeans fall down

Anyway - YIM jeans don't have the band, they're like normal jeans and sound just like the ones I have been wearing (my super old, very low-slung, adored cruddy ones!) ... but they're not cheap, so I want to see if anyone knows of any 'tricks' with them!

Thank yoooou!]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:11:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19665&PID=454728&title=yim-maternity-jeans#454728
