Curious Cleo - Men's & Women's Retro Clothing Online Store

Vintage Maternity WearFear not vintage ladies, you don`t have to give up your love of all things retro just because of your bump. The majority of fashion retailers have a maternity range that is not far removed from everything else they sell in terms of style.

But what if you`re not a high street designer queen with a passion for today`s fashion?The vintage vibe is a very personalised look, so whether you go for a specific era or like to mix and match your decades, maternity clothes are also quite readily available in a look that fits in perfectly with your personality and style.

Chances are that you already have your favourite places to pick up pieces for your wardrobe, so if that`s an online retailer specialising in reproduction vintage clothing then they will almost certainly have a range of maternity clothes as well, designed to fit your theme.But, if you`re a total purist for the scene and only buy original items, all is not lost. It might be more difficult to track down vintage maternity wear but with a bit of improvisation and preparation, there`s no reason why you can`t get hold of a whole new wardrobe of pre-loved retro gear to dress your bump.

There are quite a few online vintage stores popping up who have done the searching for you, so all you have to do is order from a website. You still have access to one off pieces as you would if you were physically shopping in a vintage or second hand store yourself, so if you see something you like you have to be quick as it is probably the only one in stock. Ebay is a surprisingly good place to pick up clothing bargains and the best way to get a load of vintage maternity wear very cheaply is to look out for anything listed as a bundle. There are also vintage clothing shops that sell on the auction site as well that are particularly good for rock, punk, mod and two tone clothing.

Fashion at the moment is a fabulous mix of several decades and hemlines are daringly up or down to the floor. So if you`re really stuck for finding original vintage maternity pieces you can always cheat a little with a reproduction from the high street and complete your look with genuine vintage maternity wear from a specialist retailer. If you`re a flapper fan you`ve probably noticed the resurgence of fascinators and little black dresses covered with sequins and net detail. Big fur collars from the 30s and 40s are seeing a comeback this season, as are tweeds and pin-up dresses. 50s pencil skirts, bow dresses and trench coats are also everywhere right now as well as Mary Quant inspired black and white from the 60s, lots of lace and frills plus 80s and 90s oversized tops and leggings.

Long Maternity Tops are a timeless choice and if you love the 70s, flattering maternity smocks that tie under the bust and baggy shirt dresses are just the thing to wear with some skinny flare maternity jeans and pumps for the perfect hippy chic maternity look.
