Western springs mompreneur Annie is not worried about her young business during a recession. She knows that pregnant women need her fashionable Pocket Dots pants clips now more than ever. Not only do they serve a practical function, but they save moms from having to spend money on maternity clothes, too.

What are Pocket Dots?

When expecting mothers develop baby bumps but still want to wear their cute prepregnancy pants and skirts, they can buy elastic maternity bands to slip around their waists to hide the fact that they are now wearing their pants and skirts unzipped.

Maternity bands are great, but they can slip and slide around, and pregnant women – especially active pregnant moms who are scrambling around on the floor picking up toys and playing with kids – can end up constantly having to tug and adjust the bands and pull up their pants in the back to stay decently covered.

Enter Pocket Dots! These cute, inexpensive clips fasten the bottom edge of your maternity band securely to the pockets of your pants. Now expecting moms can stand up and sit down all day, but their pants and maternity band will always stay right in place.

Pocket Dots hold pants in place.

Pocket Dots save moms money

In a recession, we all want to curb unnecessary spending. Why pay money for expensive maternity pants that will only be used for a couple of months at a time during a pregnancy or two? Pocket Dots save pregnant Chicago women money by allowing them to wear their prepregnancy clothes longer instead of having to invest money purchasing a whole new maternity wardrobe.

Where to find Pocket Dots

The Pocket Dots Web site has been officially open for a little over a week and has already taken orders from across the country. Next on Annie's agenda will be to approach Chicago maternity shops like Beautiful Beginnings to see if they would be interested in carrying the line locally.

Priced at $8.95 per pair, Pocket Dots are currently available to order in Black and Nude.

Why order Pocket Dots?

How else can you save money and look stylish while also supporting a local Chicago business! These will make great inexpensive baby gifts when your friends first announce they are expecting. Best of all, once your pregnancy is over and you are dining out with your baby, why not get some more use out of your Pocket Dots by using them as bib clips to secure a cloth restaurant napkin around your child's chin?
