This is a below the bump style of jean with side stretch tabs for maternity wear. These are a size 24, washed in cool water with Branch Basics detergent and always air dried. They're in great condition and were a great staple for me during pregnancy. I am typically a 0 or 00 when not pregnant. I found these to be great through my 1st a 2nd trimesters of a 4th pregnancy. They were too small for me after about week 30.
