Strange Question on Gap Clothing Labels

I have a strange question. Does anyone know when/if Gap ever sold maternity clothing withOUT the special "Gap Maternity" label in it (as opposed to the typical dark blue Gap label that lists the size)?

I recently purchased a dress from Ebay that is supposed to be maternity, but the label has no indication of it being maternity. The regular Gap dark blue tag just says it's a size medium; on the UPC tag below, there's the date of Fall 2003. And it just doesn't look big enough to be maternity, but I could be wrong. Maybe Gap didn't have special maternity tags in 2003??

Anyway, thanks for your help!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what to do about the dress, whether it really is maternity or not. It wasn't very expensive....so it'll probably just stay in my closet for a while until I donate it to the Goodwill!! Or maybe it'll be just the right size AFTER this pregnancy!

They used to be plain! The are marked now in stores!
FYI - Gap outlets now have maternity for a really great deal!

I was pregnant the first time in 2003 and purchased many maternity items from them...and they all had the special maternity label (Gap is a well-established company who owns multiple names and thinks forward...what I'm saying is, they're too smart not to label their clothes).

I'm sure the person was just trying to either pass it off as a maternity item or wore it as a maternity item and failed to mention it wasn't a traditional maternity item. But no matter what, I feel your pain! I have a love/hate relationship with eBay for experiences such as yours!

My son is going to be 6 this summer - was pregnant in o1/02 --mine do not have a maternity label -- infact w/ my 2nd child I questioned my "bin" of clothes thinking is it really maternity in here?! -- but my skirt (with tummy pouch) and 3 shirts all have regular labels.

Yeah like the other lady said, I was pregnant in 2002 and had quite a few Gap maternity clothes, and they all had the Gap Maternity label.

She probalby wore it as maternity, but if you don't think it will work for you, contact her and let her know the problem.
