ASOS Maternity Dresses

[aprilsails]

AKA I'm glad my Mom taught me how to sew.

I ordered two dresses from ASOS maternity to use for the multiple weddings and events I have coming up in the next 3 months. They came in a few days late but I'm guessing that's a Canadian border thing since I got dinged for duties.

I'm wearing the long dress tomorrow to a black tie optional wedding. I had to hem it up 3 inches this afternoon since it was psycho long and I don't really intend to wear it with heels tomorrow or this summer.  Otherwise it fits great, has lots of bump room, and is very comfortable other than having to wear a strapless bra.

The blue floral dress came in the same size but was laughably large on me. The scuba fabric is very stretchy and the whole thing fit me like a box - it gaped at the arms and I had little wings off the sides of my hips.  Luckily it's a very simple construction so I took it in all over the place this afternoon.  It should work great for showers and maybe my Grandparent's Anniversary party.

I took these photos after finishing the alterations. No makeup!

FYI I'm 26 weeks today and feeling it.  My poor sad hips.

Nice work!

I bought a pair of linen pants at old navy last week. The mediums were really tight so I bought the large, but because it's ON they're ridiculously stretch after one wear. I have to take them in a bit. Maybe tomorrow night.
