Day 304: A Pregnant Pause Dress
How does one write a suitable preface for something like this?
I couldn’t just stop at one before pic, either! 🙂
At first, I didn’t understand why the shape of these atrocious overalls was so odd. Suddenly, all became clear!
Yep. You’re looking at a pair of maternity overalls! As I clearly have no need for these as-is, it was time to get to work! 🙂
I knew I wanted to turn this into a dress, so I unpicked the crotch area…
…and then cut off the legs!
Then, I put the whole thing on my dress form and started pinning!
Then, I ran all of the pinned sections under the needle!
Then, I gave my new dress a new hem!
I pressed my new seams & hem…and now I have a comfy and totally non-preggo frock!
Cheers!

Oh my goodness!! This one rocks! Ok, I’m hanging my head in shame as I say that I really kind of liked the before shot. It’s just so cute and comfy looking. That being said, the “after’ is phenomenal!! Great job!!

I can´t believe you took this on and turned it into something so wearable. Am still laughing at the first pictures though!

I didn’t even realize there was still Gitano floating around in the world. The before looks like Between the Lions, “Smarty Pants”-google it! I like the after, I just wish it was another color.
