    I’m so happy you made a maternity dress! I am 5 months pregnant and I have 2 wedding this summer and I can not find any formal dresses under $60 that I like!!!! Totally making me one now!

      Hey, friendly heads up: remember to either have enough seam to take it out or make the dress very close to the wedding, beause those bumps can trip you up and it'd be a shame if they don't fit at the day of. Just something to be aware of.

      ya, im not pregos but my cousin wife is ( until tomorrow, shes getting induced) and I wanted to get her a nice maternity dress but like plus size clothing maternity cloths are limited in style and colors and just look like ugle curtains made into shapless dresses. Plus the ones like this beautiful and nice are over 100$ so its ridiculous.

    That lace overlay is so beautiful - really gorgeous cape shape. I would love to have a dress like that... in a different color. The ivory makes it look a bit like a wedding dress, perfect for a summer outdoor wedding.

    What a beautiful dress!!! And beautiful model for the dress too.
    Also as a suggestion while your leg is healing, maybe a beginner series? Such as how to sew, how to start, etc? It can be done with scraps you have around the house so you don't have to shop around.

    - Wonderful, fun & informative video as always - Thanks again!
    - I loved the sweet reveal & the lovely energy between the expectant parents.
    - I'd also love to know where that portion of the video was shot.

I think it will be quicker for you though as you are younger and your bones will heal quicker. My husband is 55 yrs old so it will take some more time. It really sucks though!! Would love to hear how you broke it. (my husband twisted his ankle walking down the front steps!!)
