Fashioned for plump comfort

SO YOU'RE going to have a baby: you want to
be ready for it and you want to look good —~ but
you don’t want to spend a fortune on a whole
new wardrobe to accommodate 30 extra pounds
for six months.

| By BARRETT FISHER |

There's no reason why
you can’t look fashionable,
feel comfortable and do it
within your budget, says

Gwen Bjorge, from Boomers
and Echoes, a consignment
store for maternity and
children’s wear in North
Vancouver.

And Bjorge isn’t talking
about investing in second

EXPECTING her first child in March, Liilian Campbell
models two pieces in the six-piece maternity ensemble offered
by Boomers and Echoes. You pick the colors and fabrics,
‘and the outfits will be custom- made to fit you 1 for a reason-
able price. ;

hand clothing (although that
too is always an option).

The store is offering a
six-piece, mix-and-match
maternity outfit, miade-to-
measure by a iocal designer.
You pick the colors and
fabrics, the designer shops
for the materials and tailors
the pieces to fit your con-
tours, with extra room for
baby, of course.

The six-garment war-
drobe, which can be worn
for casuai or work, depen-
ding on fabrics and ac-
cessories, will be sold for the
package price of $272, which
Bjorge says is very reason-
able. Individually priced,

pants sell for $45, jackel
$54, tunic $42, skirt $38,
blouse $45 and jumper $48.

Fabrics from corduroy to
cashmere and cotton to wool
are all possibilities, Bjorge
says. ‘We chose fabrics that
were easy care, such as cot-
ton and woe! blends.”

Especially complementary
colors for the pregnant
woman are pinks and blues,
she says, and the coor-
dinaiing colors in the display
wardrobe are teal, burgundy
and seal grey. ‘‘You should
choose colors that you suit,
but colors that you won't be
tired of.

“The clothing can be ad-
justed from the third to

worn through
pregnancy,”’ Bjorge ex-
plains. ‘‘In the first three
months @ woman often says,
‘Em gaing to make a war-
drobe,’ but finds she's too
sick or too tired."*

The store presently has
between six and 12 designers
who work on garments, sell-
ing them on consignment,
and as Bjorge says, the
maternity wardrobes make
excellent consignment pieces
at the end of a term.
