Re: Offensive?
How petty and pathetic. I wouldn't be offended at all. Pregnant women need underwear just as much as non pregnant women, how silly.

Re: Offensive?
I think 'Emily' is quite sweet actually ... at least didn't have any stretch marks, the elongated belly button and the brown line from belly button going south ! Anyway, hope the proprietor has gained from the publicity.

Re: Offensive?
As nobody made an offical complaint, this is just a clever bit of self-publicity.
I saw an item on television this week which featured a whole range of Victorian corsets, to tightly hold you in when you were pregnant...that was shocking.

Re: Offensive?
Why would anybody be offended by that?
Bloody ludicrous imo.
Pregnant women are beautiful,glowing and radiant why shouldn't it be promoted more?
And it was only a dummy!!!
Madness.
