Who needs tall maternity?
It is estimated that 12% of the babies born each year are to women 5’9” and taller. On average, there are over 4,000,000 births in the United States each year. This means almost a half million tall women are pregnant annually. Yet, this group of consumers is consistently overlooked by industry standards!
