My family and I are Union civil war reenacters and have always done good on finding or making replica clothing, until now. We found out we were expecting our second child a month ago and my tummy is already expanding. Please, do you know of any styles worn by northern women while pregnant during the civil war? If so, do you know of any patterns I might purchase or someone whom i might commission to make the garment for me? With the season for reenactments started I am desperate for comfortable, grow with me civil war replica clothing. 
I await your response with great anticipation!
