Stuff For Mom
PUMPKIN MATERNITY
Put the words "maternity" and "clothes" together, and the combination usually elicits expressions of discontent and complaints. The changing shape of a woman's body during pregnancy is fascinating and can truly be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be a nightmare of sorts. As with many women, a pregnant woman's look suffers without the right cuts and styles. Unflattering forms, patterns from the seventies, and other fashion no-no's leave many pregnant women feeling fat and fashionless rather than fabulous and
de mode.
Enter Pumpkin Wentzel. Born out of sympathy for her fashion-starved pregnant sister and best friend, Pumpkin Maternity is Pumpkin's line of simple, clean, fashion-forward designs that flatter, yes flatter, the pregnant woman's body. These clothes are so great, and reasonably priced, that they past the toughest test of all: I want to wear them, and I'm not pregnant. Heck, I don't even have a boyfriend!
Pumpkin Maternity has an adorable, easy-to-navigate Website that offers Pumpkin's entire line, including some sale items, and a gift registry. There is free UPS Ground shipping on all merchandise. And for those of you based in New York, check out the bricks and mortar Pumpkin Maternity, appropriately placed in hip, downtown Manhattan.
