im starting to think that dresses are THE way to go. after the wedding last month i realized skirts are just way too much adjusting- gotta pull the waist up and tug the hem down, adjust the shirt- add an infant in a sling and i just dont have enough hands for that.
ive been looking for dress patterns though. im big. i mean, im huge with babe now, but i feel like its hard to find a dress that fits and flatters and isnt made out of some horrible weird stretchy material, so im gonna have to make them myself. and ive always admired the straight cut sleevelss batik over jeans with a cardigan, but never found a dress that could pull that off for me…
im also inlove with this dress

i hear you! with the expanding ribcage, vintage circle skirts seem totally out of the question. they don’t have any stretch at the waist and it drove me crazy even when i wasn’t pregnant.
i found an amazing dress at a vintage store from the 70s, it was made in mexico and has an elastic waist with a huge ruffle neckline. [i tried to find a picture on ebay but couldn't..] i can’t wait to wear it when i’m further along!
