Due to the fact I’m fast approaching my third trimester and my mid section is changing daily right before my eyes, I have to find more creative ways to alter patterns like increasing the width of the back which gives me more stomach room without making me look like a tent, shortening the length of the bodice and lenghtening the hem. This also means selecting fabrics that can accomodate all the changes. This linen like cotton from Mood is absolutely perfect! It’s light, breathable and uber comfortable. The pattern used was the Vogue V8815 view D with the following alterations:- Added a 7″ faced V-neck-Increased the sleeve with by 1.5″ and created a pleated top sleeve
-Added a 1.5″ band around the wrist of the sleeve
-Removed the opening from the back neck of the pattern
-Removed 2″ from the bodice of the front of the pattern
-Added 2″ to the hem of the from of the pattern

a beautiful design and fabric. Love it.
Love the design , that fabric looks great on you and your cute baby bump 🙂
Your rendition is beautiful, looks like something from anthropology, but better because it is your creation.
This is an absolutely stunning look on you. You look fabulous. Wish I did something like this when I was with child/ren. What a inspiration to even us nonpregnant women. 🙂
You look marvelous! Love this idea for the summer.
