Welcome to LaDy LaDuke!
About Courtney & Betina~LaDy LaDuke
We are two sisters and working moms who came together in October of 2008, at a pumpkin patch where our sister-in-law struggled to breastfeed her baby, while chasing her toddler, and keeping her back covered.
She was using the well-known Hooter Hider at the time, yet wished it could work better.
Moms running around with many kids and multi-tasking seemed the norm to us, and so we said right then and there at that pumpkin patch that we should make something that works better!
Fast forward, and we did make something better. It’s called The Feeder Frock Nursing Cover, and we’ve been working and selling it at our handmade Etsy Shop since January of 2009.
We have to start with The Feeder Frock, because we really wouldn’t be here without it. It was always a work in progress, but has now become The Ultimate Feeder Frock.
When we started working on our nursing cover, the back coverage, and ability to be mobile were our drivers behind the design. But, we also wanted the most style and working function for moms that we could possibly offer.
Read the full story of our Ultimate Feeder Frock…
When moms come to us for help with breastfeeding, or when they give us customer feedback, we take everything those moms say, and apply it to new working designs.
Some moms like working with only a front cover, and some like breastfeeding on the outside of their covers. Since there is such a variety of needs for every mommy and baby, our goal is to work towards, and provide for those needs as much as possible.
Then of course, moms come in various sizes, plus sizes, and have changing bodies throughout pregnancy and nursing, so we address those issues too with just about every possible nursing cover function you need. And chic simplicity is always the goal in design, like with your…
Nursing Scarves-Ponchos-Capes
We have a variety of fabrics to handle year round breastfeeding in public in lighter, fun plaid or gingham scarf cottons, rayon spandex knits which love to drape and shape over your body. And beautiful colors with designer details for more style and flair in your nursing ponchos.
For fall and winter, we have cozy flannel nursing scarves-ponchos with hand cut fringe or hand folded ruffle designer details. These also have ties, so that you can tie your covers onto your body, which give you even more ways to wear them.
They can be folded large or small for you and baby to use any way you need, and they will accessorize any outfit for ultra style.
If you’re a mom or working mommy who wants to breastfeed or pump discreetly on the outside of your cover, and look like you’re wearing a shrug, top or dress, get more information on our-
Nouveau Nursing Covers…
We have you covered for all those breastfeeding occasions from cold weather, to every day wear and even formal wear. We have a variety of Nouveau Nursing Cover styles to go with skirts and pants for breastfeeding at fancy parties and date night, or out for lunch with the girls.
Sticking to our notion of the most style and function, we continue working on our maternity clothing and women’s wear lines, with easy solutions to mom’s body changes, as well as staple clothing items you can wear beyond maternity.
For mommies and working mothers, buying a completely new wardrobe just for your pregnancy might be off the budget, so we design our maternity line keeping that in mind.
See Our Women’s Wear Line for Style You Can Wear Pregnant Too…
You just want something you can wear often, look great, feel stylish and wear again belly or not, right? Maternity clothes that aren’t maternity clothes, just regular clothes, yet work for your belly and body.
We Believe in Equally Chic.
Check Out Our Maternity Clothes…
Adding to that notion of wearing clothes pregnant or not, we knew we could help the pregnant bride find her bridal outfits from ceremony to reception, to bridal shower to rehearsal dinner.
Our new Pregnant Bride Chic Wedding Clothes
give the Bride many options for style, fit and flatter, and we have more coming to handle all Pregnant Bride & Bride Outfit events. We think what you want to wear pregnant or not should be the same, so our Bride clothes, both maternity or not are designed to wear both ways. Each being equally chic.

The Bride & Groom Need Style Too…
Custom Tees, Tutus, Handmade Ties & Hand Knits for this new and fun collection, designed for those special Bride & Groom photo shoots and wedding events.
And Let’s Not Forget the Bridesmaid…
We call this Wear Again Bridesmaid Style with tops, skirts and dresses she can actually wear again with other skirts, pants or even jeans. All gorgeous cottons and linens, and not any of those strange, formal fabrics she’ll NEVER wear again!
Nesting is Our Thing.
Having a baby and taking care of home, charges up those nesting instincts, and we have another passion for home decor and design. It’s just built into us as females to make our nests, right?
We choose working on and designing Signature Curtains, because they can have the most impact in your home or room. Especially the nursery, where you want it to be extra special.
When your home has everything in its place, and a punch of color or fluff of a ruffle give off a spark, all is well.
Even though your Curtains Couture are presented for your nursery or kid’s room, they really can go anywhere in your home. In fact, Betina and I have them everywhere in our homes, from the dining room to the office.
That’s the beauty of handmade, custom items that let you select fabrics and style to work for all places in your home.
For all mommies either new, working or with an empty nest, our curtains can work.

We pair our handmade design work with our glass blowing artist friend, Brick House Glass to bring you hand blown glasses, bowls and vases to add more to your table, kitchen and dining, and entertaining at home.
