As my urge to sew slowly seep back into my body, I find myself looking at another type of fashions then before – namely maternety dresses through history.
Even though I probably never will get the time to sew, and even les to wear them – here are some of the beauties I´ve found.
(Yes I know, its comonly said that this weeding portrait comes without childbearing gifts, but you got to agree with me´- eiter that´s a lot of cokies, padding or she´s been honoring those wedding vovs for quite a while…)
I would love to wear something simular to the medieval fair late may – if i have the strenght to go.
Dreamy – and would work both with and without a baby bump
Ok, not the most comfortable thing to wear, but it do looks good.
This “I only button the top”thing, works just as well in the 16th century as it does today with knit cardigans.
“Lets just hide everything” is a look that only works for paintings – and instagram photos…
Not sure if I´m most facinated by the womans figure or the mans outfit…
Do you have any favourite pictures of maternity wear?
Fashion Through Herstory 
The last picture was really funny! I imidiately thought it looked Russian and the writing is cyrylic, so it actually might be…
Great examples of pregnancy wear, thank you for your effort!
You might be right 🙂
I actually love the woman in gold brocade with the trumpet{?} sleeves ~ that is a dress I think I’d wear! It looks really stunning, and I think it even looks comfortable which is a big plus! ❤
xox,
bonita of Lavender & Twill
Yeah, that´s one of my favorites too (I even started sketching for a pattern…)
The first woman in green is NOT pregnant. The painting is the marriage of Arnolfini By van Eyck. The bride is holding her dress up before her. It’s a common misconception
The man’s outfit is a cassock in the Russian style – he is of the “married priest” clergy. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, there are 2 paths for priesthood – if a man wants to get married, he must do so before ordination. Celibate clergy usually become monks and can be elevated to bishops.
