Abstract
The intended outcome of this capstone is to create a line of athletic
maternity garments that will address woman’s needs as both athlete and mother throughout her
pregnancy. With the current state of the environment, it is also crucial to address the issue of
sustainability and try to reduce waste created by a maternity market that depends on the
customer outgrowing her wardrobe, replacing it, and responding to the cultural pressure to
return to her pre-pregnancy size. Why not have clothing that is stylish and convertible and that
can be worn throughout the pregnancy and well after?
