This dress seems to be a celebration of the creativity of women's fertility. As the film of The Children of Men illustrates, declining birthrates have the positive effect of renewing an awe and appreciation of childbearing (the striking scene from that film is the one that alludes to the flight into Egypt--the baby's mother carries her child through the soldiers in a moment of reprieve from fighting; people are filled with such a great awe that they reach out to simply touch the baby).
Alternatively, it could refer to the creativity of digestion...
