The expectant mother, shrouded in a calf-tickling Laura Ashley fantasy, becomes a late-Victorian artifact, like a sprite from a Julia Margaret Cameron photograph. A woman who wanted a certain modernity of fashion to complement a contemporary pregnancy, who wanted to be comfortable with her appearance and her condition, pretty much had to improvise, scrounge or raid her husband's wardrobe...
