Trends in Maternity -- Vintage versus New



As I was strolling down the avenue the other day, doing a bit of window shopping I spied a Motherhood shop that made my eyes pop out. Yes I'm an old lady and a bit of a traditionalist. No I don't believe we shouldn't use the word pregnant or hide in the back room when expecting that little bundle of joy, but the current trend of wearing tight tank tops and bare midriffs does upset my sensibilities just a little bit.

With that thought in mind, I realize that there may be others (I'm sure I'm not alone) who share this thought and either really love vintage styles or just want to be less exposed.

www.cemetarian.com has several vintage maternity patterns from the 40's through the 80's and there are more in their eBay Store Chez Cemetarian.

So true! I think Lucy had it right. She might've looked as big as a house, but she was cute!
