Posted byIt’s been a minute since we’ve given Etsy vendors some love.. which is funny, because I spend a solid part of every day scouring shop after shop. Since a lot of in-store maternity fashion can be troubling to say the least, Etsy is always an excellent alternative. Who knew you could find something like this vintage-inspired floral number from Hellcat Mama:
The skirts are elastic-banded, so they’ll grow with you — OR if you’re not pregnant, they’re just fucking comfortable. She also has Casper the Friendly Ghost and Star Wars printed skirts available, and the bows are detachable. LOVE!
Mamasan Maternity is always an Offbeat Mama favorite.. and this Goth top and skirt makes it easy to see why:
Everything I’ve seen at Ticci Rockabilly is INCREDIBLE, but if you’re looking for the perfect rockabilly-inspired garment to traipse around in while with child, I’m gonna vote for this purple dress:
Silk wrap skirts, for when you can’t be bothered by maternity jeans

Yes!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I am envisioning myself waddling, but in super fab clothes. Not mumus. Lol
That maternity coat/carrier is soooo great!!
This is getting bookmarked for when we start trying in May!
I’ve been drooling over that maternity coat for MONTHS. I’m having my baby in April so it’s not really seasonally appropriate but damn it’s cool.
Um, can’t sign into editz… sorry.
The coat is not a baby carrier, but rather a baby-carrier friendly coat. Which is a terrific idea, but one needs a sling or ergo or other carrier under it.
fixed! thanks!
I think you just found the coat I need, and it should handle the rest of this winter and then next winter with baby-wearing. Gotta measure for it tomorrow before she’s slammed with Offbeatmama orders! 🙂
