what are the most flattering plus sized maternity pants/skirts from gap?

i want to tell my parents what to get my sister for christmas- the timing will be great because she will hit 3 months right at christmas. but i am lost when looking at the website! what works well for an XXL? she doesn't like low rise and she has a long torso.

Definitely the full panel style. The no panel ones are too low rise for me. I lived in my corduroy pants with back pockets and full panel my whole pg. Actually, I still wear them occasionally (sshhh!) ;-)

It's funny, today at school someone asked me if I work at Gap (because basically my whole wardrobe is from there).

I love their maternity clothes. I had one black stretchy fabric skirt that was super flattering too. Can't go wrong with the full panel, I think.

thanks so much for the info!!

any other tips on other brands? i tend to suggest regular clothes for my sis and i know she is SO lost on maternity.

I was a 16/18 pre-pregnancy and had the most luck with JC Penny. I would say 75% or more of my wardrobe was from there. Also, I would be curious about the Lane Bryant Maternity stuff.

do they have good suits? she is an attorney and has to wear business attire when in court.

Lane Bryant just posted their new maternity line online, and it seems to include suiting and a couple of dresses... plus, they have 20% off online orders through the 17th.
