Maternity dress for a doll which simulates pregnancy

Abstract

A removable maternity dress for a doll which simulates pregnancy and child delivery and which may be easily adapted to a conventional doll. The invention includes a doll dress preferably made of non-stretchable flexible fabric having a concealed upright front pocket connected thereto. The pocket is sized to receive a baby doll insertable therein through a flapped lower opening at the bottom of the pocket. Removal of the baby doll from the pocket downwardly through the lower opening simulates child birth. A front opening in the dress adjacent the pocket coverable by an apron-like fabric sheet may also be provided. A layer of flexible latex or the like connected to and extending across the front opening simulates the appearance of the pregnant mid section of the doll. A liquid or gel-filled bladder attached between the front of the dress and the pocket affords a more realistic sensation of touch of the baby doll within the pocket. A lenticular screen positioned over an image of the baby doll and having a transducer-like extension therefrom affords simulated kicking movement of the baby doll as found on an ultrasound machine.
