Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. — Elizabeth Stone

This is a great onesie! The garment itself is made by Gerber, whose clothing is always of good quality. In addition, it is tagless, so there is nothing to irritate the back of my li’l dude’s neck. The design is very unique; it is most definitely not something you can pick up in the discount store on the corner. After two days of wear and three trips through the washer (with regular detergent, not baby detergent) and dryer (on high heat), there is no discernable difference in the pattern or the fit of the garment.

I don’t really have anything negative to say about this product. The quality is excellent, the artwork is awesome, and the price is very reasonable. I would buy this for my baby, and I would give it as a gift.

First I would like to say thank you for letting me test out and review this new product for Punky Moms.

When I first received the shirt I thought maybe it wouldn’t fit me because I’m a rather large chested mama and have a huge belly for 26 weeks pregnant. I put the shirt on and found it to be a little tight but when I looked at it in the mirror realized all I needed to do was put on a better fitting bra and I was quite sexy in the shirt. I liked how it clung closely to my big belly showing off my pregnant self. I also really like how the arms and neck line are open and loose so I could move freely and not feel tight and confined in those areas. I felt sexy in my shirt when it was tight but on days I didn’t really feel very well or like being sexy I simply stretched the shirt out a bit so if fit more loosely. This technique worked great to give me that comfy baggy feeling and the shirt still looked good. The best part was when I washed it the shape of the shirt came right back and I could wear it “sexy” style again.

I love wearing something that looks good on me but isn’t mainstream out of our local maternity store. I went into one of those stores and all the ladies in there just loved my shirt.

I am a breastfeeding mama with this pregnancy so I like the fact that Icould easly present a breast to my son because of the loose neck line of the shirt, and the shape would immediately come back when I was done feeding him.

I had to wash this shirt at least five times because my kids are messy and constantly dropping food and paint and play-dough onto my clothes. The shirt kept its new look even after that many washes and I can’t say the same for some other items I have purchased. It never shrunk, never lost its brightness, and the decal never cracked or faded or changed in anyway.

When I first got this shirt I thought maybe $24.99 was a bit much for a modified T-shirt but then after using it and wearing the heck out of it, I realized that for a frugal person like me $24.99 was a perfect price for a shirt that can take a beating and keep looking good and stay comfortable. For me during pregnancy its important to feel sexy and be comfy and this shirt did that.

I also would like to add that I believe it will still serve me well beyond the birth of this child because of the fact that you can stretch it out a little to not cling to your body it will look nice on me and not make me feel self conscious because it clings to closely and at the same time not look like a maternity shirt and of course I can easily breastfeed the new one wearing this shirt.

I have recently gotten some clothes for the kids from this lovely new Mama-run company and I am thrilled about them. I got the black flamey onesie for Gareth and the black girly-skull tee for Lily. Lily adores her little shirt and I get compliments on both kid’s outfits when they wear them.

Meg uses American Apparel clothing and offers some adorable designs. The clothing is great quality and durable. I put these clothes through the ringer for the past month to test them out. After multiple runs through the laundry and the normal kiddo wear-and-tear there is really no noticeable difference in them now than the day I got them – they’re just a little more comfey. The art work has not cracked or peeled or faded. The cloth has not faded or shrunk either.

So if you’re looking for some new stylin’ clothes at an affordable price for your little rock stars, check out Meg’s stuff.

I received a black onesie with an adorable swirly vintage-like duck image on the front for Gareth (who is the destroyer of clothing). The onesie is made of very soft and durable fabric. It’s nice and thick and the sleeves come down closer to the elbow - as opposed to the cheap, thin onesies that always look like they have cap sleeves which I don’t like on my son.

Gareth has done his worst to this garment. It’s been covered in a variety of foods, walked on, ridden over with his trucks and washed numerous times and it still looks like new!

They have several other unique and adorable designs all in great colors. Not your typical baby clothing and that is good.

I like this product so much that I am considering buying shirts for Lily’s birthday from them.

But really, we are building our actual e-STORE!!! So pack that virtual diaper bag and figure out which pair of virtual stilettos you want to wear to our virtual grand opening…soon to be announced! Or show up like a hag…we don’t give a chit either way.

We would like to thank the “Brassiere Mob” for supporting our big bouncing beast breasts and keeping them perky! (What? You don’t know what the Brassiere Mob is?

And BELIEVE IT…Stevie is actually on vacation! Kristen turned 29 again. Shelly’s humping her mop as usual. Mel’s got kids coming out her ass these days. And Katie is growing an actual TAIL! We are so happy for Katie as she’s been tail TTC since she joined us. Did we mention love is in the air? Yeah – in the small town of Whoopass, Texas!

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
(Thank you, Supergidget, for your words of wisdom)

“As for the scented tampons: What the fuck?!! I’m so tired of society making women feel bad for not being this perfectly unblemished being. Not only are we expected to be skinny with big boobies and long legs, but because of these crazy scented tampons, now we expected to have vaginas that smell like flowers and fucking fairy dust. ”

Thanks for being our very special friends. We just could not survive without bitches like you!

Bruisy hugs and bloody kisses,

Winter, Jenn & Sarah

Congratulations Katie and all the rest of you newly knocked up, inked up, world changin’, high heel hoofed ladies!

Punky Mom’s loves you and hope to see you posting soon!
