I am puzzled. I spent the better part of 4 years pregnant and was forced to shop at specialty shops. Now that I am NOT pregnant, I can buy maternity fashion in any and every store around!
Now I realize that for women who have never been pregnant, it would never occur to them that current clothing styles might look like maternity styles. But after having to wear empire waists, gathers under the bust, tunic length tops and baby doll styles to accomodate a baby belly, I now have a hard time trying them on and NOT seeing maternity clothes.
Plus, while I do not look at all pregnant anymore, my youngest is still pretty young. It would not be unreasonable for someone who knows me to assume, based on clothing alone, that I was pregnant again and I DON'T want that to happen!
Anyone else feel the same, or does everyone love the maternity couture?
