Maxi Dress & Mini Maxi Dress

 Maxi pregnancy dress & a mini version too!

Hi Everyone.
Can you believe it's almost the end of August, where did the summer go??
I also cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has been, 
for which I am very grateful actually, even though it's about time to get that hospital bag packed! 
I'm 34 weeks this week and well I have to say I'm not sure I feel it yet, 
but already I can definitely tell it's a different baby to my first one! 

Here is my attempt at a maxi dress, I've found that since being pregnant - 
These have become my absolute favourite wardrobe item. 
They are sooooooo comfy, and easy to dress up. 
Not with heels unfortunately  but earrings or bracelets.
 Plus I like how relaxing and laid back they look; even though I live in a fast paced city.

So, here is one I made myself! 
I really like the print and the cotton, it's super soft. 
I used a total of just under 2Y's with a tiny bit left over. 
And then, I made hers. 

Mine measures 90cm in length with a 8 cm ruffle, 
I'm pretty sure I will have to shorten it once the big bump goes away. 
The waistband is 85 all around and I cast an elastic for a bit more stretch. 
Oh, it was actually a lot easier to construct than I imagined and took a total of 1 and a half nights. 
Hers of course was way faster! 
So here we are wearing the same dress....... Hee hee. 
Guess girls will always play dress up.
Have a good week!
