Spring and babies go hand in hand. While taking a stroll, little children were everywhere playing in the grass, on the swings, and in the bushes. With the laughter of little ones lingering, a question arose. How did they do it back then? What did the ladies, that made the Baby Boom possible, wear during the time the stork was so close? Upon searching online, I found some pattens with amazing adaptations to the growing condition.
Basically here is a large shirt, but take a closer look at the expandable skirt.
This skirt has the expandable front but also includes a buttoned front.
Here is a wrap skirt with extra room to grow and a roomy blouse.
Next up is the wrap dress with built in expansion for your growing family. I noticed within my search, there were numerous dresses with this extra fabric and cinching belt technique. Included with this pattern is a flowing top button jacket.
Then there are these late 50's peddle pushers/pant ensemble, with an ingenious twist.
So if you are a vintage style lady and are thinking about becoming in a "family way", you can still be in style with these and many more lovely classics. Take a click or two away to
Etsy or
Ebay and find a new dress pattern that will grow with you. If you have any amazing stories or designs please add a comment below.
