A double waistband for use on a maternity garment that can be worn at all stages of a pregnancy is described. The waistband has a lower component which has an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface is made of a fabric having a low degree of stretchiness or flexibility. The inner surface is made of a fabric having a high degree of stretchiness. The other part of the double waistband is an upper waistband component which is made of a flexible fabric. The upper and lower waistband components are connected or sewn together to form a contiguous single waistband. The outer surface of the lower waistband component is a stretch-woven fabric and the inner surface of the lower waistband is a knit fabric. The upper waistband component can be made from a jersey knit fabric. The lower waistband goes around a woman's waist at the same location as would the waistband of a normal pair of pants. The garment waistband can be used as part of a maternity pant, a maternity skirt, or any other maternity garment that uses a waistband.
