My mom's generation "hid" their condition in those big tops, and looked like Lucy Riccardo. My generation of mommies was a bit more relaxed about being obviously pregnant. It seems to me maternity attire really changed with Princess Di's pregnancies.Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-64543556324636094592008-03-06T18:24:00.000-06:002008-03-06T18:24:00.000-06:00Hi, Angie.

I can't imagine myself wearing one of those stretchy maternity shirts either.<BR/><BR/>My mother said she always sewed a few dresses a size or two bigger to wear for the first four or five months, and then after the baby came. That was in the 1940s and 1950s.<BR/><BR/>The Mennonite ladies don't seem to change their style of dress much when they're pregnant. They just raise the waistlines somehow, in the later months of pregnancy. Their aprons are still in place, just pinned higher.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-44600616166565955542008-03-06T11:28:00.000-06:002008-03-06T11:28:00.000-06:00I so agree with you.

I have 5 children and hated those big shirts but couldn't wear the ones that let my belly just hang out either! More descrete I suppose!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
