Well, I'm going to have some made, right here in the U.S.A.
I don't know if everyone knows this or not, but I recently found out that when "organic cotton" textiles are brought in to the U.S.A. they are treated before they are allowed to be sold in this country. If that is 100% true all the time that means that those items are no longer organic.
Since we don't know if it's true, it might be best to leave it as rumor
This is a recipe for disaster. Don't assume, do market research. That applies to anybody (don't assume your preferences are universal), but it applies doubly when you're not even in your target audience.
Some women want loose, but to me that seems to be a pretty outdated take on pregnancy. At least some women (and my estimate, one I wouldn't put money on without market research, is that it's the majority) want, as much as possible, the same styles as their previous clothes (generally tight fitting), just cut to accommodate their new body. Many women are proud of their pregnant body, and don't want it hidden behind loose cloth. Others are ashamed or embarrassed or uncomfortable, or just don't want to be constricted. This is something you want to research.
As a woman that is trying to get out of her maternity clothes, I would say that it depends on the woman and where she is wearing the clothing to. During my pregnancy there were sometimes when I needed to wear something a little loose because of where I was going. But other times, I wanted something a little more form fitting. I don't subscribe to the "peeka -boo" effect of letting it all hang out for the world to see, but weekends and shopping, a nice fitted shirt, with a great design or message, is a perfect shirt for someone that has "power-surges" and whose body feels invaded. I hope that helps.

Is this conversation still on the table? I would be interested but have specific needs
I am looking for organic or bamboo maternity shirts. I probably only need about 100 to get started. I am looking for subtle natural colors (browns, greens, etc), good stretch, good memory and a more fitted style (no tents thanks!) Any resources?
Thanks for the tip. I went to www.mightymeegit.com but its not up and running. Do you have another site/contact for them?
Also, I am also looking for small numbers of bamboo/organic cotton in similar colors, so perhaps we can split an order if their numbers are high?
