Surprise Maternity Dress

Remember the space-themed duvet cover that I turned into a maternity dress? Well, Dott and I share a love of Very Silly Fabrics, so I when I heard the news I couldn’t resist treating her to a special dress. Here it is in action – complete with a cuddly dog in each pocket!

This dress has the advantage that with only a small alteration (basically a big seam/dart right up the centre front) it will be perfectly wearable as a non-maternity dress too. I love the way that Dott has styled it with a fabulous pink sash belt – I love seeing how people put their outfits together. 

I’d like to say a big thank you to Dott and Dave for the photos – as well as CONGRATULATIONS, of course, on the safe arrival of Carys, who made her way into the world this week!

  1. From dott:

    It’s a brilliant dress, and was great for the last few weeks of pregnancy! Carys arrived a little earlier than expected (technically she’s due this weekend) so I didn’t get as much pregnancy wear out of it as I could have, but it’s still a fantastic dress pre-alterations as it’s loose around the c-section scar. I’ll be wearing it again tomorrow! 🙂
