Midcentury Mama, maternity dress (1950s)

This 1950's vintage maternity dress by Helene Scott is a truly timeless treasure.

This was my friend's mom's when she was having her babies in the 1950s and 60s. It still has the note attached from when it was handed down to her.

"Mama bought this for me when I was expecting. It was the only bought dress I had -- wore it for all 3"

How SWEET is that?

It has a wide collar, a modesty panel, and ample width for a growing pregnant belly.

Measurements:
19" pit to pit
19" flat across empire waist
23" flat at the fullest part of the belly
35" total length
