We believe in the power of women and motherhood.
We believe that women leaders (like you!) make the world better.
We make the clothes you need to keep leading during pregnancy & nursing.
Our Story
It's great to meet you, Mama!
When I became pregnant with my sons, I was a principal and education director. I struggled to find maternity clothes that were formal enough for my job, and that fit my 5'2" frame. As we professional mamas know, pregnant and nursing women are still often met with judgement and questions about our career commitment when we decide to become mothers. While we are working together to change that, we also need to ensure that pregnant women can continue to look our best on the job. Maternity is a time when the feeling of professional power becomes more important than ever.
Women are rising to the top of our professions. We're waiting until later in life to have our babies, meaning we're often pregnant in senior positions that demand better clothes. Quality workwear is now a basic necessity for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and a vital ingredient in our progress toward gender equity. The empowerment of motherhood is deeply important and long overdue. MARION is my small contribution to this cause.
MARION offers exquisitely cut, sustainably sourced, quality pieces formal enough for a board meeting, and feminine enough for a dinner date. We've designed invisible access for nursing and pumping, and cuts that flatter at all stages of pregnancy while fitting like "regular" clothes afterward (really). We also carry a line of quality maternity essentials, like sustainable maternity leggings, nursing bras, and tanks.
Because MARION cares about equity, we also make our styles in both petite and standard lengths, and are working to increase our offerings in extended sizes. Because we care about elevating women, we donate a portion of all profits to women's healthcare and girls' education worldwide. Because we care about access, we are working to build a buy-back program that will allow lower-income professional women to purchase gently used MARION styles at a discounted rate.
Women are powerful. We are capable of leading the world and carrying the next generation in our bodies. More and more, we're doing both simultaneously. MARION makes clothes for the world-changers who are also mothers. As you shape society and commerce, we're here to make your transition to motherhood beautiful, sustainable, and effortlessly professional.
That is MARION's mission.
Warmest regards,
Joy O'Renick

FAQs- Sizing and Fit
What if I'm not sure of my size?
We know great fit can be a challenge during pregnancy! For fit guidance, see our size charts on every product page. For advice or questions about a product, contact us. If you're still not sure, we recommend ordering 2 sizes, selecting the size that fits best, and returning the other size on us!
What is your sizing like?
We work to keep our designs consistent with your pre-pregnancy size. We understand that every woman's body is different, and every pregnancy is different. We aim to create your best possible fit through thoughtful designs that grow with your body, flexible luxe fabrics, and personalized tailoring services.
For how many trimesters will my purchase fit?
Our collections are designed to grow beautifully with you during all 9 months of pregnancy, and to flatter you during the seasons of nursing and recovery that follow. Rarely, if a specific style does not accommodate all stages of maternity, we note it in on the Product Page. We also work with pregnant and non- pregnant models to show what garments will look like during & after.
Should I order a STANDARD or PETITE size?
That depends. If you're above 5'4", STANDARD sizes are probably for you. If you're 5'4" or shorter, PETITE sizes are most likely your best bet. Just remember that proportions matter. For example, if you're a 5'7" woman with very long legs and a shorter torso, you may find that a PETITE maternity or nursing top suits you best.
Is there a physical location for me to try on MARION styles?
Yes! We know how hard it can be to predict fit from a photo!
MARION offers in-person styling at our Eugene, Oregon studio by appointment only. We also offer on-site tailoring services for an additional fee. Please email hello@marionmaternity.com to learn more and book your personal appointment.
What if I have other fit questions?
We're here to help! Please reach out to us via chat, or here.

I live outside the United States. What import duties and taxes will I have to pay?
Our prices DO NOT include VAT, GST or other country taxes.
International customers pay all freight and duties or taxes. As we are shipping maternity and nursing clothes all over the world, it is impossible for us to build in the various duties, VAT and GST tax for each location.
If want to estimate your duties, you can use this online tool (remember to convert the U.S. dollars to your local currency): https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/
For international customers who are required to pay customs, you will receive an email from your local customs authorities asking for payment to have your order processed through customs. Unfortunately, there is no legal way around customs. Once you provide payment to the customs broker, your order will be processed for final delivery.
