Now don’t get alarmed, I’m not pregnant, but I know a lot of future Moms are reading this blog, so I’m passing on some information about a website that sells THE CUTEST Maternity Clothes! Seriously, when I was pregnant with Ryan in 1996, mostly during the summer, do you know what the maternity stores in the mall were selling? ROMPERS. Do you know what a romper is? It’s a ONE PIECE outfit that buttons down the front. Which meant that every time I had to pee, I had to unbutton it and slide the whole thing down around my ankles! It was NOT PRETTY, let me tell you. Oh, I could have also worn tops with giant floppy bows, those were popular then too. You know what they didn’t make in 1996? COUTURE maternity! I mean, honestly, how lucky are women today that when they are pregnant, they can wear Juicy Couture Maternity for heaven’s sakes??
And the dresses, OH the Maternity Dresses that are available now! This beauty is the Olian Crossfront Maternity/Nursing Dress, and it’s gorgeous! Maybe the problem was that in 1996, not enough celebrities were getting pregnant, so there was no reason to make high fashion maternity clothes. Nowadays, it’s like COOL to be pregnant, which is probably why even hot jeans designer Chip and Pepper makes maternity jeans. You lucky pregnant ladies! I mean, I’m not going to get pregnant just to wear cool maternity clothes, that’s for darn sure, but click any of the links in this post if you want to see just what’s available to wear if you are pregnant. And for tips on what to wear at each stage of pregnancy, check out this Chic Maternity Wear article from AOL.
So cool! The romper is the WORST possible idea for pregnant women, yet it was the height of baby bump fashion for like 20 years. What were they thinking?
Maternity fashion has sure come a long way! I wish I had access to these stylish clothes when I was pregnant.

My mom is saying we are so lucky today… cute maternity clothes, painless operations and amazing post pregnancy items to help us be in shape gain. I got a post partum girdle and it’s helping me get my old size back.
thanks for the post. it will be a great help to the moms out there. despite their condition, they can still look fashionable.
yes i agree. having a baby is a great feeling and dressing fashionable makes a mom feel much better!
i was laughing when i read the romper! ha,ha! yes, i agree it doesn’t really give good fit to pregnant women!
lucky for this generation, they can wear couture maternity dresses when thy’re preggy. thanks for this post anyway!
thanks for this article. i’ll tell my mom to read this right away!
hi. nice post. it’s really true. the romper idea is wrong! good thing women today will have to choose to what they’ll wear when they’re pregnant.
hi. good post. i agree, what were they thinking with rompers for pregnant women?it’s way too unfashionable.
yes! and they make that romper not easy for preggies out there. like what he author have said, every time she pees, she unbutton it all! it’s a disaster!
yes! and they make that romper not easy for preggies out there. like what he author have said, every time she pees, she unbutton it all! it’s a disaster!
oh yeah, definitely! luckily for today, pregnant women can still look fashionable even they have big tummies. thanks to couture maternity dresses!
i was laughing really hard with the romper. i feel sorry. but now, you could wear what you like and still look fashionable! glad to hear posts like this. thanks!
yes, me too. but fashion fades anyway (Chanel). and that romper kind of thing with pregnant women are so over and even obsolete! time to look great, mommies!
hi again. i’m proud of how styles change. i’m also grateful that pregnancy cannot be a hindrance to feel good about oneself. there are tons of fashionable maternity dresses now, and it’s the best way to show that who you are, what you have, or the situation you’re into, you have the right to fashion! babies are gifts, the most important!
yes. i’m hands down. it’s really good to hear that pregnant women have taste for fashion. and that’s by wearing couture maternity dresses. thanks anyway for sharing this post. and for the replies!
Maternity fashion has come a long way just in the past few years. Most of the time you can’t even tell a dress or shirt is maternity. I think that dressing a little more fashionable when pregnant can make you feel just a little bit better.
