Dec. 28, 2005 Maternity wear
Maternity wear has come a long way since the regimen of our mothers' days: oversized sweater, husband's dress shirt, mumu-style dress, repeat. Nowadays, it's hip to embrace — even accentuate — your growing body, and there are plenty of retailers in the Seattle area who are happy to help you do just that.
