IT'S SO UGLY

[mandie_rw]

I probably could have gone to a department store's maternity section and gotten the same shirt for a lot less effort...but then it would be made of poly-cotton, so, nah. It's really so dumpy that it bypasses "depressingly unflattering" and goes right to "entertainingly unflattering". Usually I like to put up a "crappy pictures" disclaimer, but this doesn't look much better in person...

BUT YAY IT'S DONE I WON'T ROAST

AS MUCH


Now that I've made one, I'm even less convinced that shirtwaists vanished entirely for 20 years, as they're perfect pregnant-lady garments. (NO, I am not wearing this shirtwaist untucked, but I still wouldn't be surprised if somebody congratulated me, heh. While I down obviously-alcoholic drinks...)

Verdict: Embarassingly ugly, but my friends assure me they'll still be seen with me, so it's ok! (Although I hadn't posted pictures when they said that...)

With a skirt holding it in at the waist, I don't think it'll be that unflattering! Nice work.

Thanks! You're very optimistic. ;) I still lament the smart fitted bodice, but if possible I'd like to avoid overheating. Siiiiigh.
