In 2009, I was pregnant with my first son and stopped by the cardiac ICU where my husband works. While there, I happened to witness a particularly, um, nasty incident. We'll just say that it involved blood, vomit and other bodily fluids-and all that nastiness was all over the patient's hospital gown. I turned to my husband and shakily asked if there were different gowns for labor and delivery; my husband laughed and said no. That night I went home and started looking for maternity hospital gowns online.

Of course, finding something that fit my personality was next to impossible. I didn't want blue polka dots-I wanted a bright, bold red gown but no such luck. So I asked my dear hubby to bring home a (new) hospital gown for me to use as the base for a pattern and I pulled out my old sewing machine. After a couple of drafts, I had a gown that worked-and it was red!

I got so many compliments on my gown the day I delivered that I decided to start making them for my friends. When my son was four months old, I was laid off from my executive position as Compliance Officer, and not wanting to pay for day care (I had been able to take my son to work with me), we decided that I should stay home and try to make Mommy Moxie work.

So here we are....after many revisions and years of research and development, I have a hospital/birthing center and mom approved gown. All the gowns in my line have been named for either the mom that delivered in them or their little one. I haven't named a one (except the one I delivered my second son in). Throughout the years, due to popular demand, I've added other items, but it all started with the hospital gown way back when.

I consider it such an honor to work with pregnant women, their families and their friends. I know it's hard to be pregnant, and giving birth certainly isn't a picnic! Why not look fabulous in something that's "you"? It's my goal to help you do just that. Enjoy my shop and contact me if you have any questions whatsoever.

Thanks for stopping by!
