Even as a shoe designer, I have always been intrigued by maternity clothing and am impressed by those who are in the business of designing a maternity dress line or a maternity skirt line.  The dresses and skirts, I think, are harder to design because the waistband has to be accounted for.  It is not like you can just put in a zipper and a button and call it a day.  Fashion designers must really take into account the belly that will be getting bigger, but not at a rate that you can predict. I never run into such issues when working on my customers’ shoes. 

Tops overall must be easier to design, especially for this season, as the style has more flow than in the past.  It must have been very difficult to design maternity wear back in the days before the stylish advancements of our current time. The women today truly are pretty lucky. For a short time in your life, your body is a wonder as you nurture a baby.  Having great clothing is just icing on the cake.  Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world concerning how you look.
