I was kind of excited to see what this was about, but I'm not sure it's as awesome as it sounds. I have three thoughts about this business plan (based only on looking at the website): 1) there are a lot of dresses made out of modal around, 2) none of the pictured styles could be worn while BFing, and 3) when I heard "play dress" I figured it meant "skort" or some other underwear-hiding innovation (like the tennis skirt with attached biker shorts I currently have on). The chief problem with the A-line and pencil skirt dresses (and even the maxi dresses) I have in my closet is not that they are made out of the wrong material, it's that I either can't play with my toddler in them because the shape is not suited for that, or if I do, I will eventually flash anyone around. I'm not sure how making them in polyester solves those fairly intractable problems. Maybe I'm missing something?

@honeybear: I love the skorts (skirts with bike shorts undereath), those are my mom uniform on weekends with a simple tee shirt.

The dresses are cute and I give her kudos for following her dream, but unless those dresses show up at TJMaxx for $19.99, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy one.

@sweetooth: Agreed. I think the pictures suggest that they mean to target moms of elementary-aged kids, so BFing may not be an issue. My toddler doesn't BF anymore, but I hope to have more children, so I always have that in the back of my mind.

I highly recommend athletic skirts! They look a lot less like pajamas than yoga pants do (to me, anyway), they stretch, they're easy to move in, and they CYA (literally!).

In the final analysis, I guess I don't really want to wear something marketed as a "mom dress," you know?

@looch: Right on, sister!

@looch: If you shop at Costco, I saw that they had some golf skirts today. (This may be unique to my area...pretty much all of the PGA lives here.) They're the same idea as tennis skirts, but longer and with a discreet tee pocket (bonus!). I bought one, but I may not keep it because it's a tad big. The solid color ones would totally pass as regular casual skirts.
