It seems that lots of styles of the past are making a comeback: '90s jeans and rompers, '60s and '70s flared jeans, bell-sleeved blouses, and bright '60s floral patterns. With all of these vintage looks, women who are expecting deserve to get in on the fun, too. Seriously, Friends is making a comeback and so is the style (although Jennifer Aniston can make any style look amazing).
Whether women are looking into the soft and romantic floral style or the more patterned retro vibe, there are tons of Etsy maternity vintage clothing collectors and sellers who have our pregnant mamas-to-be in mind. And maybe in the meantime, they can get inspired to choose a vintage baby name, too! But one step at a time.
White Slip Dress

from
Slip dresses are the original nap dresses, and no one can change our minds. This vintage white slip dress is the perfect combination of fashionable, comfortable, and cool for the warmer summer months, especially when carrying around a baby inside one's belly. It's pure cotton, too, so when we say comfortable, we mean it.
50s Maternity Top & Skirt Set
This two-piece maternity outfit is really throwing it back to the '50s with its bright blue stripes and distinctive cut. It's great for the moms-to-be who want to be comfy but vintage in style. It can also be slightly updated by tucking the shirt into the skirt or by taking it to the tailor and bringing the fabric in a bit.
Floral Print Keyhole Blouse
The '70s are making a comeback in flared jeans and shirts, and we know that big, loud prints will be back in no time as well. This '70s bright floral pattern maternity blouse is fun and flowy, and a great top for spring and summer months. It has a higher neckline but a keyhole cutout on top for a little bit of sexy and fun, too.
Blue Floral Print Cotton Maternity Top
For a more casual but also cool look (and we mean temperature-wise) we are loving this simple vintage maternity top. It's white with a blue and pink floral print (with little green vases). This one is also in cool, breezy cotton. Our favorite part, though, are the tie shoulders that add a soft and romatic look to the top. Wear it with a comfy pair of shorts.
'80s Vintage Maternity Top
If bright colors aren't your style, choose something more toned down and muted, like with this blouse from the '80s. It features maroon and blue with a pop of green and keyhole neckline with a tie. As one reviewer said, "If I could give this 10 stars, I would! This is one of those rare, unique Etsy sellers that actually cares, and goes out of her way to make each purchase a unique experience."
Vintage Maternity Dress
We're not sure if this stunning maxi maternity dress is vintage or vintage-style but we're loving it either way. We do know it was made before the year 2000. It has a lace bodice with a '60s style circle design with lace sleeves. The long pleated maxi skirt provides a contrast. According to the Etsy shop, it is a handmade piece made with cotton and linen.
'90s Vintage Floral Red Dress
Lots of vintage styles are making a comeback, the '60s, '70s, and '90s especially, which is why we're loving this 1990s maternity maxi overall dress. It's mostly red, but with a multicolored floral print. It can be worn as shown with a white (or other colored) T-shirt underneath in total '90s fashion, or without anything underneath for summer comfort.
McCall's 8122 Maternity Pattern
Remember patterns? If mama-to-be or her family or friends are into sewing or fashion design, they will find this '90s dress pattern super fun to make. Its a babydoll style, which is one shape that is making a comeback right now. It can be worn with or without a plain T-shirt underneath for maximum 1990s vibe.
Plaid Short-Sleeve Dress
Shirtwaisters are always a good idea in our book, so why not get a vintage one? This brown-toned plaid collared dress would look so cute paired with a pair of white or tan sneakers or Keds for a casual day out. It's a size 10 in maternity so there is plenty of room to feel comfortable — a great choice for warmer months.
'60s Maternity Top & Skirt Set
We love the romantic, flowy, babydoll style of this white cotton maternity blouse and skirt set from the 1950s or 1960s. The top has a square modified sailor collar with an aqua and white tassel trim. The ruffled peplum adds so much interest to the top. The coordinating aqua wrap skirt looks like it will accommodate a growing belly comfortably.
Vintage 1990s Maternity Pink & White Polka Dot Top
Pink and polka dots are the signatures of this '90s blouse. It's a bright bubblegum pink color with large white polka dots, perfect for making a statement. The collar has the same colors but in reverse, and a large white bow that can tie up by the neckline. It's a trapeze top that's not designed for maternity, but it can easily cover a growing bump.
Vintage Sears Maternity Shop Mom Jeans
It isn't a vintage clothing list without featuring mom jeans! This pair from Sears is literally the real deal, with the OG mom jean style as they're both vintage and for expecting mothers. They're lose in fit, can be rolled at the ankles and come with a stretch waistband. These are in size 6.
Sleeveless Blue Romper
This is one of the OG-style rompers before they morphed in style to what we see today, and we're loving this drop-waist maternity romper. Petite moms-to-be or mamas with smaller bumps can definitely work it. It's a baby blue color with small white polka dots throughout. It also has white button straps to complement the dots.
'80s Vintage Maternity Dress
The '80s could not get enough of their puffy-sleeves and neither can we. This adorable maxi maternity dress is as '80s as it can get for this style. It has the white collared shirt under a faded baby blue dress and the big sleeves to match. It's super cute and definitely can be styled for present day. This one is size 14.
Vintage 1960s Dress
For a shorter dress, we are loving this little black vintage dress from the '60s. It has a button placket, flared sleeves, and a tent-style skirt that hits above the knee. It is in a gray and black windowpane check pattern for the rocker or funky mom — or for those who prefer darker colors — but it's subtle enough for anyone to pull it off.
Vintage '80s Blue Acid Wash Tapered Maternity Jeans
More jeans! And these are fun. They're faded, acid-washed, and tapered jeans from the '80s, but with a stretch waist for mamas-to-be. They're a cropped length that sits at the calf, with the classic '80s zippers at the ankle. According to the seller, "these jeans are by Special Edition and are labeled as a size 12z the material is 100% cotton and machine washable."
'90s Maternity Overalls
It has to be a law that expecting mothers should have at least one pair of maternity overalls. Overalls are back in style, which is a win, so why not get a pair that are authentically vintage, like this denim pair of overalls from the '90s. The pants have flared legs. These can be worn with a T-shirt or tank top underneath.
Yellow Spaghetti Straps Maxi Dress
Moms and expecting mothers need clothes to wear to special occasions, too. If she's into vintage style, we found this yellow maxi maternity dress that will make her, and her bump, look positively fantastic. It's high-waisted and spaghetti straps for a delicate, flowy look. According to the Etsy shop, it's straight out of the 1970s and is a size 11.
Vintage Stripe T-Shirt Maternity Dress
We love a good T-shirt dress, and this one is as authentic as it gets. It a black-and-white striped one, which will look super cute styled with a pair of kicks. It's comfy but can also be for special occasions, too, making it the best of both worlds. It is a women's size small or extra small from the brand Take Nine. It's unclear when it was made but we have a hunch it's from the '90s.
'60s Babydoll Maternity Lace Dressing Gown
This lace dressing gown from the 1960s is absolutely stunning and romantic. It has the babydoll style fit and made for expecting mothers. It would look great in an intimate pregnancy photo shoot or to wear at home. According to the Etsy seller, "this piece closes with a small hook at the collar, and opens down the front. It feels like a dream to wear, lined in soft, pillowy fabric beneath the flawless lace. In the world of sexy vintage maternity wear, this piece is a rare gem."
