The  purpose  of  the  research  is  to  analyze  and  improve  the  structure  of  the  composition  and constructive  means  of  costume  design  for  future  mothers  through  the  prism  of  the  historical perspective of its development. In the process of doing the work used modern methods of research: literary analysis, historiography, systematic structural, morphological analysis and classification of artistic and composition elements. On the basis of literary and visual-graphic sources, an analysis of the evolution of constructive-technological means of creating clothes for pregnant women in the European tradition of the 15th-20th centuries is carried out and systematized design solutions for certain historical periods to satisfy the ergonomic, utilitarian, hygienic functions of the respective costume,  the  creation  of  psychological  comfort,  as  well  as  the  provision  of  social,  artistic  and aesthetic  functions.

It was investigated that the use of the principles of transformation in pregnant clothes increases the versatility of products and extends the life of the work. The scientific novelty of research lies in the fact that for the first time a system analysis of the means of shaping and artistic expressiveness in designing special clothes for pregnant women was carried out based on an analysis of the evolution of the shaping of this type of costume in a historical context. It has been determined, systematized and structured the modern constructive-composite means of the design process of promising collections of clothes for pregnant women. The practical significance of the work lies in the development of scientifically based means of shaping special clothes for pregnant women to create collections of modern women’s suits that represent special clothes for pregnant women with improved functional and aesthetic qualities.
