Jan 17, 2018comfortable and cute maternity jeans
I love these jeans and wear them all the time. I was looking for some maternity jeans that were a style other than skinny leg and stumbled upon this gem. I already knew I loved the regular cali demi-boot jeans, so I knew I would love this style. The best part about these maternity jeans is that they have real belt loops on the sides so you can pull the jeans up after sitting, bending over (or trying to bend over at least!), etc. My other maternity jeans from a different store cover my belly and are constantly slipping down just a bit. So I really appreciate the under belly style with the belt loops. They keep their shape throughout several wears and are very flattering. I thought they fit TTS. I am always either a 27 or 28, and the 28 fit perfectly.

Oct 24, 2017SO flattering
I am 24 weeks pregnant. Normally I'm 5'5" 125 lbs. I ordered the 27, my usual, and these jeans are PERFECTION. They stay up, are comfortable, and so flattering. Not sure how they'll do with my expanding belly, but for now, I love them so much!

Sep 07, 2017BUY THESE!
Maternity jeans (and clothes in general) are kind of the worst. They are either low quality and unstylish or incredibly expensive. These jeans are a great deal and make me feel like I am just wearing my normal clothes. I have recommended them to many friends and will live in them in the remaining 3 months of my pregnancy. I cannot say enough good things about these jeans. My love for madewell only grows stronger!

Jan 01, 2018Very reliable petite fit
Am 16 weeks preggo, 5'1" and am a pre-pregnancy size 25. (I don't usually buy madewell jeans but in all other categories I'm a madewell fangirl). I purchased the size 25 and have been wearing these jeans for almost two weeks straight. No hemming necessary, no stretching out and no sagging. The jeans cut into my belly slightly, and I wonder how long I'll realistically be able to wear them (certainly not through my whole pregnancy). But my guess is they'll take me into my 3rd trimester and at the price they can't be beat. Please make more petite maternity styles! And thanks for these!!

Aug 14, 2017Great for 2nd trimester
Compared to a lot of maternity jeans out there, these are pretty great. The denim is soft and stretchy and I don't mind the whiskering that other reviewers didn't like. They've been working great for a while, but now at 29 weeks they're starting to get a bit uncomfortable below the belly. It's almost impossible to sit down for more than 20 min in them as the waist cuts into my belly. Not sure if this is a normal thing as this is my first pregnancy and these are my only maternity jeans. Wishing I had ordered a size up to give myself a little more room. I'm a 26 in non-maternity madewell jeans and got a 26 in these.

Mar 10, 2017Finally I feel like myself again!
Okay, these aren't perfect but pretty close. I went up a size to make sure I had room to grow with my bump and the fit is great. They may have changed the rinse since the reviews below because although there is a bit of whiskering, it's not awful. I'm so happy to be able to stick with my go to denim into my pregnancy.

Oct 13, 2017Maternity Denim
I purchased these maternity jeans because I was in desperate need of pants. The Cali demi-boot was the only style available during the sale so I decided to give them a try. I'm 5'2 and 140lbs (24weeks pregnant). At first try on, they were pretty comfortable. They have the elastic inserts in the waistband and faux button in the front. As a result, there are no functioning front pockets. After sitting in them a few minutes, I felt like the band of the pant was slightly cutting into my bump. I've opted to keep these simply because I need maternity denim and for the price, I think i'll just have to bare it. Since I'm on the shorter size, the pants while boot cut, were still ankle length on me, so I roll them up. Considered hemming but then the shape would change. These are cute for casual wear with cute slip ons or converse. Probably wouldn't wear these for dress up with heels.

Mar 28, 2017Looks great, a little uncomfortable
I don't know if they've just improved the wash based on feedback or I just have a different perspective than the other reviewers, but I found these to have a true dark blue wash with pretty minimal fading and whiskering (just enough to keep them from looking too flat). And the overall design is great -- the stretch panels fit perfectly over my bump right now (I'm 22 weeks) with room to grow. The rise is plenty high enough in back as well to provide good coverage. And I love the length, which looks great with sneakers, sandals, and heels. My only complaint is that the waistband chafes when I wear them for more than a couple hours. It's uncomfortable, and I wind up with little abrasions sometimes. So not perfect, but better than other maternity denim options IMO, and a great option if, like me, you hate the extra fabric of maternity "full panels."

Oct 13, 2016Loved the stye but ...
Jeans weren't very comfortable. I'm 7 months pregnant and felt that the waist just wasn't stretchy/soft enough. Loved the style and quality of the jean but felt like they were only going to get more uncomfortable...

Aug 21, 2016So much whiskering on denim!
I had very high hopes for these jeans. Its very hard to find decent maternity jeans for a girl who has moved past the skinny jeans trend. In the photos online, the jeans look dark, with very subtle whiskering at the crotch only. I received these, and they have extreme, light colored whiskering not only at the crotch but that extends 5" down the leg. This is not at all my style of jeans, and sadly I will be returning them. I wish the denim wash was as classic as it looks, and that they were better represented in the photos online.
