We are highlighting their gorgeous organic cotton maternity line today. Thanks to companies like Childish Clothing, there has never been a better time to be pregnant! It can't have been much fun being pregnant when our mothers were pregnant! Back then it was all about hiding the baby bump under huge A-frame tops that resembled tents or "moo-moos." Times have changed and now its all about celebrating the bump and showing it off in flattering styles! Enter Childish Clothing's maternity line consisting of sexy, body hugging, hip styles which will give moms-to-be that extra boost of confidence and help them to embrace their new curves!

Childish launched their Green Line in the Fall of 2008. The organic cotton certified line consists of hip and stylish maternity and kids clothing. We received samples of the Green Maternity Line and we were very impressed! The organic cotton fabric is extra soft, perfect for your growing belly. The tracksuit top and bottom are chic and stylish and extremely comfortable. They will form the staple of your casual maternity wardrobe. The bohemian bell sleeve top looks fantastic paired with jeans and the graduated colors add that special touch. Each of these items can be worn both during pregnancy and as transitional pieces during the "4th trimester" so they can serve double duty providing you with added value.

We applaud Childish Clothing for offering an organic cotton line of hip clothing and look forward to seeing the line expand over time. To access the Green Line, type the word "organic" into the product search engine on the homepage.
