Ripe Maternity

Poor quality, poor returns policy – I purchased denim shorts for $100, after one wash following instructions the fabric buckled and twisted around the distressed tear detail. Something I'd expect from a Kmart product. I took them in for exchange/return and was told this is how denim wears and there is no fault in the product. I retuned the shorts on a Saturday and had to wait until… Read more

Tuesday for a response as no manager was in. Now making a second trip to the store to collect my damaged shorts that they will not exchange. If this is how the denim wears there should be a warning tag or mention at time of purchase. I've never had this happen to denim before. Incredibly disappointed in the product and assistance from staff.

Low quality feeding camisole/tank top – If you're looking for a nursing camisole/tank top, look elsewhere. I bought this online a few months ago as one of the nursing tops on rotation. This is a bit on the pricier side at $65, you would expect the quality would commiserate with the price, but no. The straps are not as thick and supportive as some other brands and only after a few… Read more

months they are now a bit loose and too long even when I've tightened the straps to the max. More disappointing is the top has also lost its elasticity and have a few holes in them just from normal wash and wear.

I also own nursing tank tops from Target, Bonds and other brands which are much cheaper, better quality and more supportive. Honestly, you're better off buying those or any other brands instead.

I have tried to leave this review a couple of times on their website so people know what they're actually buying, but I have not seen the review approved by Ripe Maternity until today.

Not trustworthy – Clothes are beautiful, however unfortunately I wouldn’t buy from them again as customer service is poor. I returned things for a refund months ago and still chasing refund! I had to chase them to collect the parcel which was waiting their collection for weeks and now on my 4th-5th email chasing my refund! You have to watch them and make sure you get your account credited with refund if you send anything back!!!

Better than others – I think the price point is a touch high. I feel like when you know you are only going to potentially wear something for 6-8 months it is hard to pay that much. I think I would buy more if they were a touch cheaper.

So comfortable! – I purchased work pants online and found one of their store so i bought a casual dress for a family photo shoot. Absolutely comfortable! And the sizing doesn't make me feel like I need to go 2 sizes up! I'm only growing around the belly so shopping normal clothes at a bigger size, I find i struggled with it as its loose around my top and tight on the belly.

Very satisfied with the quality!! – Nice fit and quality!! Good that some bodybody is taking care of ladies during and after the pregnancy!!! Can you please focus on party wear nursing cloths as well. Thank you!!

Humiliating customer experience – My pregnant wife bought a pair of jeans from Fountain Gate branch and after trying it at home she found it’s not a good fit. As consumers who exercise their rights would normally do, she decided to return it to the store within 14 days as the return policy says. The store lady refused to accept the return on the grounds that the item was already… Read more

“washed”. We argued that was not the case, and if she can see something that we couldnt okay fine then they sold it to us in that condition. We felt humiliated by being accused of lying so I just told my wife to forget about it and a pair of jeans is not worth the stress in her pregnancy. It was a humiliating experience and we would never buy from this company ever again.

Terrible quality – Every item I have purchased has had issues. I bought a pair of pants which pilled within an hour of wearing them for the first time. A singlet that fell apart after the first wash. A dress arrived with a hole in the fabric. A t-shirt is misshapen and thread is constantly falling out from the stitching. I emailed the company and got no response. Regret every single purchase.

If I could give it no stars I would! – Don’t waste your money!! I spent almost $500 on 4 dresses and a one piece swimsuit. The swimsuit is fine! The dresses were cheap rubbish from China. One I had to take back as it came via post and the buttons had fallen off before it arrived. Another has shrunk in the second cold hand wash (as per instructions) despite the assistant telling me… Read more

it wouldn’t and faded.. plus 2 buttons have fallen off. The third, well... it pilled first wear around the breasts. I took it back for a refund and was told it had to be sent back to head office to be processed. No communication for a week then when I followed up with the store as head office didn’t answer phones I was told it had been fixed!! I was assured it’s never happened before and that I should just accept the fixed dress. I pushed for a refund and was reluctantly given one. Very disappointing customer service for an Australian company. I will not ever step foot in this shop and again will tell others to avoid it until their clothing quality improves.... especially for the price!

Over packaging – I ordered 6 pairs of underwear. Each pair was individually wrapped in a plastic bag with a plastic coat hanger. Seriously?

Absolutely fuming!!! – I bought four pairs of jeans via their online store as I wanted to do a try on as it’s so hard to see the fit when buying online especially when your pregnant! Anyways they had a promo going on buy two pairs second half price. I returned two pairs as they weren’t right but was only refunded the two discount prices even though I kept two pairs so… Read more

really I should be entitled to the offer!?!? I’m so angry I will never buy again from ripe I had to pay return shipping on top of that because I didn’t know if I could return an online order instore there is no clear info on that on the website. I’m absolutely furious at the fact I didn’t get my full amount back for the two pairs, dodgy company!

Maternity jeans – I purchase a pair of their maternity jeans in my first few months of my second pregnancy. Hoping they would last through the pregnancy and beyond! Nope, the seam split in the crotch area after owning them for about 12 months. When I took photos and sent to ripe maternity (after 15 months, I was a bit slow in sending an email), they said this was… Read more

normal "wear and tear" and that nothing could be done about it. Quite disappointing as I was anticipating them lasting through another pregnancy! Will go elsewhere for maternity jeans, like a pair of MAVI that were given to me after two previous friends had worn them through two pregnancies each!!!

Perfect for pregnancy and beyond – I purchased some lounge pants and two nightdresses in the first few months of pregnancy and wore them throughout, including in hospital after my c section birth and once home. I absolutely love them! The nightdresses were so comfy during my pregnancy but are also great for nursing. They're great quality and will last for my any future preganancies too but to be honest I probably won't stop wearing them in between.

This is pretty good – Good design and quality, it also can continue to wear these clothes when finish the breastfeeding. It is easy to purchase online. Customer service is also good which can change size if it doesnt fit.

Average maternity clothes – Jeans, activewear and underwear are great. Dresses, tops and tights terrible- fabric gets pilling pretty quickly and the stockings literally fall down if you walk tomorrow than 5 steps at a time. Plus I bought a nursing dress that ended up being hand wash only and ripped when I tried to wash it in the machine- who has time to hand wash with a newborn?

Perfect – Love this dress! Fits perfectly and is quite flattering. The fabric is beautiful, perfect for cooler weather functions. Easy access for nursing that offers an amount of privacy. Highly recommended.

Love it! – Great quality products, true to size. I am looking forward to wearing both of the items I bought and will definitely buy from Ripe Maternity again in the future. Thanks :-)

Beautiful! – Great quality, well fitting, stylish maternity clothes. Wanted to buy the entire store... but had to settle with just two pairs of pants (blue jeggings and black jeans) which became staples in my every day wardrobe.

Great for nursing – Bought the Sally tie front nursing dress for nursing my baby this Summer. I was a size 6 before pregnancy so i chose XS and it fits well. The front tie is adjustable so it will fit various bust sizes. It doesn't come with a built in nursing pad but you can use a stick on one. Material is thin for Summer but not so thin it reveals what you wear under the dress.

Fab fit and most comfortable – Really happy with seamless support shorts. Super comfortable and breathable material, even though being of made of nylon. Best under the dresses. I would highly recommend this product to my friends.

Amazing as always! – Always your clothes are really comfortable and fit really well! These items were no exception. I bought shorts, overalls and tops. I love that they always feel like great quality as well.

Fab jeans super comfortable – Jeans are versatile, can be dressed up or down and best of all- comfy! I was always skeptical about jeans that were not over belly However they stay up and do not dig in.

Some items are great, others are better for short people – Most of the dresses I have ever bought from Ripe have ended up too short once my bump came in (as in do not move or sit down or the bottom of the dress moves up and everything shows) and the tshirt I bought pilled after one wash. Other items (tops and an activewear tank) have been good though and while the jeans do tend to slide down over time,… Read more

the fact that the front pockets are real has made them the only maternity jeans I have liked. The customer service in store is usually fantastic though.

Great quality and very flattering – I bought a ripe dress online, I got free postage, super duper quick delivery and I love the dress, its so comfy and flattering. So very happy with this purchase.

Great quality – I have purchased quite a few items from Ripe and think they are well made, have a great fit and last through repeated washing and a lot of wear. They have been well worth the money.

Great quality clothes – All of the items Ive purchased have been great quality, comfortable and practical. It would be great to see more pretty colours/designs for the everyday range. A bit on the pricey side but the items I purchased for my first pregnancy are still in good condition as Im getting to the end of my second. I definitely recommend this brand.

Amazing! – The most amazing maternity shorts I have ever purchased, not only are they super comfortable but I have finally a pair of maternity shorts with style. They are worth every cent.

Finally feeling beautiful in maternity clothing! – I ordered overalls and a summer dress to get me through these warmer months and they are perfect! Perfect amount of space for bump, perfect fit and no frumpiness! Stoked!

Beautiful maternity clothing – I have purchased several dresses from Ripe and they are are all beautiful, great fit and quality. Highly recommend Ripe for stylish maternity clothing. Also very quick delivery for online orders.

Great quality – Good quality Nice designs Wore the pregnancy work dresses for work Now enjoying the nursing tops and dresses Sizing is good Slightly on the expensive side but sales and percentage off sales are good value Quick delivery when buying on line

Comfortable and great quality – Loving my new purchases from Ripe. I have struggled to find clothes throughout my pregnancy and since first ordering from ripe they are now my go to store. My entire wardrobe is now from Ripe. Fast and efficient service online. Highly recommend.. no regrets!

Makes this life a breeze – So great to feel comfortable and practical out in the world. Breast feeding is now a breeze and I love these clothes. Thank you for your amazing products, very grateful!

So comfy – Love my new shorts. I bought two pairs - black and blue. I live in QLD and will be pregnant over summer so I needed the maternity equivalent of what I would usually be able to wear. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly with plenty of room to grow. Not firm fitted, but still flattering. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Clothing and customer service – I love my Ripe Maternity purchases and Anna at the Carindale store was amazing and helpful! I struggled to find anything fit and comfortable as I am a plus size Mum, but I walked out of the store with bascially a whole wardrobe to get me through the rest of the pregnancy. Unfortunately a lot of maternity brands forget about the ladies who are a bit bigger than a size 14. Thank you Ripe!
