Billie Elastic Waist Jean

I’m 23 weeks so my normal jeans no longer fit and I’m already sick of wearing leggings. I tried several pairs of maternity jeans from various brands, and so far these are my favourite pair. At first they were exactly what I wanted— they feel like a quality cotton denim and they look like real jeans. They have a button and fly instead of being pull-on like most maternity jeans, and they don’t have hideous elastics or a belly band. The waist sits comfortably under my belly. I was so so so happy when I first received them. I wore a size 30 pre-pregnancy and ordered the L— they fit great. I wore them once out of the house for a few hours to go to dinner,and by the time I got home, they had pilled in the crotch. I’ll keep them because they are comfortable, the best fit, and cute— but I am not sure that the fabric will hold up for the next 17ish weeks of regular wear. I wish more maternity jeans would be made with an elastic waist like this with a real button and fly instead of pull-on or with a belly band. I want to feel like I’m wearing real jeans!
