Quince Maternity Review (2026): Every Piece I Wore Through My Pregnancy
Nicole is Elisabeth’s sister. She has worn Quince for years, is eight months pregnant, 5’4″, and a pre-pregnancy XS. Some of these pieces were generously gifted by Quince and some of them I purchased myself. This opinions in this review are all my own. (I tell which pieces I LOVED and the ones I’d skip from my order).
If you’ve been wondering if Quince maternity pieces are worth it, I’ve got the answer. I am eight months pregnant, and almost my entire maternity wardrobe came from Quince. I bought/ordered twelve pieces (or about $540 total) and wore them through a summer pregnancy, a trip to Spain at 28 weeks, and a job I am working right up to my due date. This Quince maternity review covers every single piece I bought (including the one I would not get again).
I was not new to the brand when I started ordering. I have worn Quince for years (started with raiding my sister’s closet) so I had a decent sense of what their cashmere feels like and how their sizing runs before I bought any of the maternity pieces. What I didn’t know was how the maternity sizing would work and how the pieces would hold up when you’re wearing a true capsule wardrobe (meaning, you’re wearing the same pieces all. the. time.)
That is the question I cared about most. Does it hold up? You buy these things at four or six months pregnant, wear the same couple of pieces on repeat while your body keeps changing. Most Quince reviews are a quick try-on the week after the box arrived. I have been living in mine Quince maternity pieces since June…lets get into it.
What Is Quince?
Quince is a direct-to-consumer brand that touts selling premium materials at a fraction of what traditional retailers charge for the same fabrics. They work directly with the factories, skip the wholesale markup, and pass the difference along. Elisabeth has gone deep on whether that model actually delivers and if Quince is worth the hype in her full Quince review, and I would start there if you have never ordered from them.
The maternity line now runs to a couple hundred items, in the same fabrics the main line is known for: organic cotton, cotton cashmere, modal and micromodal, washable silk, European linen.
What a Full Quince Maternity Wardrobe Costs
Here is everything I ordered for a maternity capsule wardrobe as a working professional who did a bit of travel and wanted to be comfortable. I’ve listed the current pricing (if you click the links you can see what comparable pieces with the same fabric go for at other brands). I also included the sizes I ordered (more detailed sizing notes in the specific reviews of each piece). I’m 5’4″ and before I got pregnant I wore an XS in most things (sometimes sizing up for a more oversized fit) .
Twelve pieces, $540.00, of which the ten maternity and nursing pieces come to $435.10. Elisabeth’s roundup of affordable places to buy maternity clothes has plenty of brands that have similar pricing with far lower quality standards.
The standout is the cotton cashmere set: the pants and matching nursing tank together are $99.80, and they are my favorite thing from this entire pregnancy.
Quince Maternity Sizing: What to Order
The short version: order your pre-pregnancy size. I wore an XS before getting pregnant, bought most of my maternity pieces around six months, and they have all continued to fit throughout. I am eight months now (getting so close!).
A few notes:
- I sized up in tops on purpose. I took an S in the cashmere nursing tank, the modal tees, and the poplin shirt, not because they run small but because I did not want a tight fit anywhere. Either XS or S would have worked on the tank; I like the slightly larger fit.
- Bottoms I kept true to size. XS in both the cashmere wide leg pants and the bootcut pants.
- Non-maternity pieces need two sizes up. The gauze maxi skirt is not maternity, and I ordered an M against a pre-pregnancy XS.
- Height matters more than size here. At 5’4″, the cashmere wide leg pants come to the floor and I like that. The bootcut pants come in a single 32″ inseam with no petite option, and they ran long on me. If you are under 5’4″, skip those.
- Bra sizing. I was a 32B pre-pregnancy and have fluctuated to somewhere around a 34B/C. I take an S in both nursing bras and they fit very well.
The Best Quince Maternity Pieces
Overall Favorite: Cotton Cashmere Maternity Wide Leg Pants ($59.90) + Nursing V-Neck Tank ($39.90)
I LOVE this set. Probably my favorite maternity piece I’ve gotten, and I would recommend the set to all pregnant women. Extremely comfortable and it can easily be dressed up or down. I have worn it to church with heels and to lounge around the house.
Fit & sizing: I ordered the pants in my normal, pre-pregnancy size (XS), and they fit great with plenty of room. I started wearing them around six months and they still fit at eight. I sized up to an S for the top. At 5’4″, the pants come to the floor, but they are still very wearable even with a flat shoe. I like that the long inseam makes the set look a little more elevated.
Material: the cotton cashmere blend feels very high end and is also very soft on the bump (most important, IMO).
Quality note: I have been washing on cold and hang drying and have not noticed any pilling. I have washed this one quite a few times, and it is still looking new.
That is the part I did not expect. It is a 65% cotton, 32% ecovero viscose, 3% cashmere rib knit, which is exactly the kind of blend that pills, and Elisabeth has called out other Quince cashmere here for doing that. Mine has been through a lot of washes and still looks new.
Styling note: this became my work uniform. I wore the mocha set with nicer loafers and more jewelry to dress it up a bit. I love that you can just throw it on and it is a whole outfit, and you do not have to worry about different things fitting and covering the bump.

Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Maternity Fitted Midi Dress ($59.90)
Same cotton cashmere blend as the set, in Mocha Heather, and I ordered in my pre-pregnancy XS. It looks beautiful and is generally pretty flattering.
This dress is also awesome, just like the set. Very comfortable and breathable.
Fit & sizing: it skims over the bump rather than clinging to it, and it is not see-through at all in the Mocha Heather. I have worn it to church a few times, and lately to work with a blue button-down left open over it. What I love most is that it is flattering at different stages of pregnancy. It does not look too loose and baggy when your bump is still small, but it has plenty of space to grow as you do.
One caveat worth knowing. I would wear this to a shower without thinking twice, but I’m not sure I would wear it for maternity photos. It is not amazingly flattering from the side, because it does not cling to the bump. It would look great at a shower and it is very flattering from the front. If you are shooting photos, Elisabeth’s post on what to wear for maternity photos gets into why a skimming silhouette is not usually the one you want from a side angle.
Quality note: I have been washing on delicate/cold and hang drying and have not noticed any pilling or wear from the wash.
Cotton Modal Maternity Crew Neck Tee, 2-pack ($34.90)
I ordered the White/Heather Grey pack in an S because I did not want a tight fit at all, and this was perfect. Very soft cotton, and it feels great on the bump.
This gray t-shirt was a huge winner for me. Towards the end it gets so hard to find things that cover the bump, and it changes day to day, so it has been so nice to have a solid, reliable tee to throw on whenever I needed to.
The white one, though, is a little see-through.
Quality note: these are the only pieces I machine wash on regular and run through the dryer. They have held up great. No fading, no pilling.

Oversized Denim Maternity Shirt ($46)
A maternity wardrobe staple, in my opinion (why do I not have a picture of me in it when I wear it all the time? idk). It can be worn open over a tank top to show off the bump, or it completely covers the bump when buttoned up. I loved this and reached for it all the time. The denim is soft, in the perfect wash for summer into fall.
Fit & sizing: I took an S. I wanted this one to be a little roomy, and it was perfect. I would not size up a full size, but you can get the bigger size if you are between sizes.
This one also came to Spain with me, worn over swimsuits at the beach.
Update: They just restocked this in blue! If it sells out again, you could also do the non-maternity denim shirt version that comes in three colors. This will be perfect if you’re mostly wearing it open and bonus is you can wear it as a nursing top after baby arrives.

100% Organic Cotton Poplin Maternity Long Sleeve Shirt ($44.90)
I ordered this in Navy, size S (one up from my pre-pregnancy size).
This was another great shirt to have around when I did not have it in me to find the exact right, non-maternity shirt-and-pants combo that still looks professional and fully covers the bump. It is perfect for the office, especially if you are working right up to your due date like me. The fabric is very crisp and soft.
Fit & sizing: pre-pregnancy I would have gone with either an XS or S, and this fit with plenty of room. Safe to order your pre-pregnancy size.
Quality note: I wash on delicate and hang dry, and it has held up as expected after a couple of washes, with no noticeable changes.
As much as I like this, skip it unless you need button-downs for work. I do, so I wear it. If your job does not require one, I would rather wear a maternity tank under a regular button-down left open, which is the trick in the next section.
Organic Cotton Gauze Smocked Maxi Skirt ($59.90, not maternity)
The white gauze skirt was the single best thing I packed for Spain.
I loved wearing this one around at about 28 weeks. The waistband is extremely stretchy and thick and fits well both over and under the bump. It is a staple summer maternity wardrobe piece. Very gauzy and soft, definitely thicker and fuller as far as skirts go, but very breathable.
Fit & sizing: not a maternity piece, so I sized up two full sizes to an M from a pre-pregnancy XS.
I have not washed it yet, so I have nothing to report there, but I plan to keep wearing it postpartum, which is not something I would say about most of this list. For more in this category, see Elisabeth’s summer maternity clothes post.
One thing to know: I hoped to wear it to work and it did not translate. It ended up looking a little too unprofessional.

Ultra-Soft Maternity Built-In Bra Tank ($29.90)
This one unfortunately was a bit of a miss for me. It is very comfortable, but the built-in bra piece is not particularly supportive (and has no padding), and given all the changes going on in the chest during pregnancy, I just never felt comfortable wearing it out and about. The fabric itself is very soft and relatively thick for a workout top.
Quality note: I have not noticed any pilling, but I also have not washed it more than once.
What I wear instead: a set from CRZ Yoga, the maternity dolphin shorts with the non-maternity square neck tank. If you get them in the same color, they look very cute together. For more in this category, Elisabeth has a whole post on the best maternity bike shorts and what not to order.
Ultra-Form Maternity Bootcut Pants ($39.90)
Black, XS – great non-summer pick
Being pregnant in the summer, I did not get as much wear out of these as I initially thought, but they are comfortable, stretchy, and overall a very solid maternity legging option. I really liked the amount of flare and bootcut at the ankle. It makes them feel a bit more like real pants when you cannot bring yourself to wear anything other than leggings.
Quality note: very soft, stretchy and buttery. Not on the level of Vuori, but still great. Not a performance legging, so it will not suck you in, but still flattering (do we really want to be sucked in at 8 months pregnant? No).
I have not washed these, so I have no wear data on them. They are great if you’re not pregnant in the summer but the single 32″ inseam runs long so skip these if you’re under 5’4″. If you are due in the winter, Elisabeth’s winter maternity clothes post is the better place to start.

Quince Maternity for Work
I am working right through to my due date and so I really needed maternity pieces that would work all the way to 9 months pregnant for the office.
My defaults on the hard days:
- The brown cashmere set, dressed up with nicer loafers and more jewelry. This doesn’t take any thought and easily covers the bump.
- The midi dress with a button-down left open over it, which is what I have been wearing most at eight months, because not much else is fitting.
- The navy poplin button-down, which works great for the office and does not call a ton of attention to the bump, which is nice in a professional setting.
And the thing I would tell anyone, which is not a Quince product at all: I HIGHLY recommend finding very comfortable, breathable tank tops in a couple of colors (white, gray, brown) so you can keep wearing a lot of your regular work tops, cardigans and button-downs, just unbuttoned over the tank. I got mine from Uniqlo and they have worked up until now, though they probably will not cover the bump much longer. If they restock the Quince maternity bamboo tank, try that.
What I wish I had bought: the Washable Stretch Silk Maternity Skirt ($69.90, 90% silk). I never ordered it, so I cannot review it, but it seems like it would have been awesome for work.
Non-Maternity Quince That Works Over a Bump
Two pieces on my list are not maternity at all, and both worked.
The gauze maxi skirt above, sized up two from my usual.
And the 100% Organic Cotton Fisherman Crew Sweater ($45, down from $110), which I have in an M. It fit over the bump until about seven months, and it still looks cute with a little bit of bump peeking out.
Nursing and Postpartum
I have not started nursing yet, so treat this as a maternity bra review rather than a nursing review. I will come back and update it once I have used them for the thing they are actually for.
I own both of Quince’s soft nursing bras in an S, and I have a clear preference.
Micromodal Nursing Bra, 2-pack ($39.90) came first. Not supportive by any means, but very soft, stretchy, and comfortable on sensitive pregnancy skin. These are the most comfortable bras I have ever worn. I started sleeping in nursing bras around 6.5 months.
Quality note: these I feel got a tiny bit less soft after the first few washes. I was washing and drying them in the dryer and have started hang drying to try to preserve the softness.
Seamless Crossover Nursing & Lounge Bra, 2-pack ($39.90, down from $72) came later, and it is even better. I ordered this set a little closer to my due date, because I found the ribbon/string thing that runs up the inside of the micromodal clip nursing bra to be a little irritating on my skin as it gets more sensitive.
Both are a great option, but I personally would choose these crossover ones. They also come with removable padding, so if you need to wear them out and about, they are a little more supportive and look better under clothes.
What to know: the material is not as buttery soft as the micromodal, but it is still comfy enough to sleep in, very soft, and there is nothing on the inside to itch or irritate. The band does not roll. I have slept in this pair every night since I got them.
👉 If you are buying one nursing bra, buy the crossover. The micromodal is softer to the touch but I wear the crossover one more often.
What I expect to keep wearing postpartum: the brown cashmere set, which seems like it will be awesome, both sets of nursing bras, the tee shirts at the beginning while I still have a bump, and the white skirt for sure.
What I Skipped, and Why
The Overalls
Quince’s Organic Cotton Maternity Overalls ($49.90) are a best seller and they come up a lot when you search Quince maternity. I passed, for a simple reason: I do not love the overall silhouette on a big bump.
Quince Shipping and Returns
I did not return anything from these orders, but I have done plenty of Quince returns over the years. Here’s what to know if you’re thinking about ordering maternity pieces to try on.
Quince runs returns through USPS, so you just have to put the order back in its package, tape it up and bring it to the post office with your QR code, and they will print a label and ship it. And it is always free.
On shipping: Quince orders usually come in a few days, and I have never had something arrive later than the estimated time. Usually it is on the early side of the date range they give you.
Is Quince Maternity Worth It?
Yes (with two caveats).
Out of twelve pieces I would buy nine again without thinking, one is a real miss, and two are great but only if they work for you: the bootcut pants only if you are not pregnant through a hot summer and not under 5’4″, and the poplin button-down only if your job calls for one.
How these have held up with constant wear and washing over the last few months is what really sold me. The cotton cashmere set has been through many cold washes and hang dries and still looks new, which I would have bet against. The modal tees have been machine washed and machine dried with no fading or pilling. The only piece that changed at all was the micromodal bras getting slightly less soft (I should have hang dried from the beginning).
What I love: the price on the cotton cashmere pieces is hard to beat, the sizing is predictable enough that you can order your pre-pregnancy size, and returns are free and easy.
Would I order from Quince again for a next pregnancy? Yes, and the first thing in my cart would be a second cashmere set.
Quince Maternity FAQ
For most of the maternity pieces, yes! Nine of the twelve pieces I ordered I would absolutely buy again with the best being the cotton cashmere set at $99.80 for pants and a matching nursing tank.
Yes. Order your pre-pregnancy size. Size up one only if you want a looser fit on tops, and size up two on non-maternity pieces you are wearing over a bump.
The cotton cashmere and cotton modal pieces held up through months of washing with no pilling or fading. The micromodal nursing bras got slightly less soft after a few dryer cycles, which hang drying fixed.
I bought most of mine around six months and everything still fit at eight, so that timing worked well.
I hear that for subsequent pregnancies you show earlier and so you’ll likely need maternity clothes earlier. For my sister’s fourth pregnancy, she was in maternity clothes at 2 months.
Two soft styles. If you buy one, buy the Seamless Crossover Nursing & Lounge Bra 2-pack ($39.90) over the micromodal clip version.
Yes. Free USPS returns, and you do not need to print a label. Take the package to the post office with the QR code and they’ll print it for you there.
A few days, and typically on the early end of the estimated range.
