Maternity with style!

Rockabilly Maternity Clothes!

I am taking on a new project! My bestest friend is pregnant and it is so difficult to find cute maternity clothes in any style!
When I was pregnant I remember having several meltdowns and bawling my eyes out because I couldn't find anything that, not only fit right, but look good at the same time. I wore..pretty much the same pants through out my pregnancy and stretchy shirts. I felt insecure and depressed. I do not want other women to feel that way too. Not all pregnant women are petite with a cute baby bump! some women unfortunately blob out when they get pregnant, I sadly was of them. and a lot of my weight gain was from stress not the actual pregnancy. Every women wants the cute baby bump, but not everyone is that lucky.

SO, keeping my dear friend Heather in mind and her bad-ass style I am creating a rockabilly maternity line! I want women to feel as comfortable and gorgeous as they already are. I want them to be able to keep their style and not have to adapt to what little style of maternity clothes are out there.

I have researched rockabilly style maternity clothing and I would Like to say I found at least one site that had cute affordable clothes, but sadly I couldn't find anything! Nothing was cute AND affordable, even the expensive things weren't that cute and were clearly overpriced, I can understand why Heather is so annoyed with finding clothes.
 Here are a few things that I found.

 

                                     

Cherry Shirt $45.00                                    Halter Dress $50.00

 

                                     

Elvis Striped Tee $29.95                     Swallow Banner Dress $49.95

As you can tell everything is really over priced for how simple it is.

A lot of the clothes I will be making will depend on creative construction and flexible shape. With fall and winter coming up I want her to be able to layer all the pieces and look like it all goes together. I will of course be sharing my progress and lessons with everyone, because I am going to be doing a lot! of trial and error.

I will be posting some of my sketches soon, I seem to be having some technical difficulties getting them on my computer.
