Enter to win a $25 gift certificate to celebrate Motherwear's 25th anniversary!
* This contest is now closed, and the winner will be notified by email. The correct answer was 1993. Thanks for entering, everyone!
This year marks Motherwear's 25th year supporting nursing moms!
To commemorate this event, I asked Motherwear to dig up copies of old catalog covers, and a few are shown here. I'll be posting more over the course of the year.
To celebrate this milestone, each month this year I'll be giving away a $25 gift certificate.
This month, I'm asking you to identify the year the first catalog shown (shown top left) was published.
I'll make it a litttle easier by giving you three choices: 1989, 1993, or 1997.
To enter, leave a comment with your guess below. I'll randomly pick a winner from the correct entries.
Be sure to leave a "real" email address so I can contact you if you win. U.S. addresses only, please. Good luck!

That has to be 1989. The flower prints would have given over to flannel shirts by 1993 . . . Okay maybe that's just my high school experience.

I'd have to say 1989 because of the hair.

I'm going to guess 1989...

I think it's 1993! I love looking at old catalogs.

I'm guessing 1989, too.

I'm going to guess 1989. ~ :) Thanks!

I agree with all of the other ladies, those dresses and that hair must be from 1989. I love Motherwear and have been using their products since my oldest was born almost nine years ago.

Hm, my guess is 1993... I seem to remember my little sister, who was about the age of that little girl in 1993, wearing a dress very similar to the one featured... Pick me, pick me! :-)

1993

Considering I had a dress almost exactly like that when I was about 10, I'll have to guess that the cover is from 1993.
Posted by: Kristin | April 14, 2008 at 04:53 PM
I'm going to guess 1992.
Posted by: Hyphen | April 14, 2008 at 10:00 PM
My guess is 1993. Thanks!
Posted by: Janeen | April 15, 2008 at 12:51 AM
based on that hair I'm going with 1989
Posted by: Nola | April 15, 2008 at 09:33 AM
I'd say based on the print quality it's pre 1990s. So I'm going with 1989.
Posted by: Ann Siegle | April 15, 2008 at 10:42 AM
I am going to guess 1989. It sure looks like a lot of the dressed I wore in high school.
Posted by: christy | April 15, 2008 at 05:05 PM
I know I missed the contest, but I have to say my hair was definitely still that big in 1993, and I had a dress just like that -- that my mom made. Gulp.

oh, that's soooo '89... I think I had that dress in the non-nursing style!:)
