Motherhood is a time of transformation—not just for your identity, but for your body, your routine, and your comfort needs. At Story of Mom, we’re passionate about creating maternity and postpartum wear that works for real Indian moms. And it all begins with our fabric of choice: double gauze cotton.
So what exactly is double gauze cotton?
It’s a soft, breathable textile made from two thin layers of fine cotton that are loosely tacked together. The result is a lightweight, airy fabric with a naturally crinkled texture that doesn’t cling or weigh you down. It’s incredibly soft—so soft, in fact, that it’s often used in swaddles for newborn babies. If it’s safe enough for their skin, it’s perfect for yours.
For moms, double gauze cotton offers a unique blend of practicality and comfort that traditional maternity fabrics often lack. It keeps you cool in India’s humid weather, dries quickly, and allows airflow so your skin can breathe—especially crucial during hormonal changes, postpartum sweating, and long breastfeeding sessions.
Every product in our collection—dresses, robes, two-piece sets, and front-open shirts—is made from this fabric for a reason. It’s gentle on C-section scars, forgiving on fluctuating body shapes, and soft on sensitive skin. Unlike synthetics, it doesn’t trap heat or bacteria, making it a safer, more hygienic option for daily wear.
Another benefit? It’s beautifully low-maintenance. Double gauze doesn’t require ironing thanks to its natural texture. You can wash it on repeat and it just gets softer—no fading, no stiffness. It’s the kind of fabric that actually gets better with time, just like you.
At Story of Mom, our design philosophy starts with comfort first. We believe your clothes should support you through the highs, the lows, the feeds, the naps, and everything in between. We don’t design around fleeting fashion trends—we design around your reality.
Whether you’re sitting cross-legged to nurse, lying down after a long day, or stepping out with your baby for fresh air, our double gauze cotton pieces move with you, breathe with you, and help you feel like yourself again.
So if you’re building a wardrobe for pregnancy, postpartum, or the beautiful blur in between, invest in clothes that feel like a soft exhale.
Because you give your baby everything. Your clothes should give a little something back—to you.
