I have been on leave for 2 weeks and planned to make some maternity clothes for work, initially it was too hot to sew and this last week I’ve been too lazy but yesterday I finally got my groove back and sewed 2 dresses – here is the one and I’m still finishing the other. I think I’m going to make this dress in black too. Yay I have some clothes to wear to work next week! Very comfortable dress to wear because my baby girl is really growing daily!
Stretch patterned fabric
Newlook 6600, I got the pattern for the bust from Top D but made it 3 cm longer and used the gathered skirt of a dress pattern I have. I roll hemmed the tie in front and the dress hem.

Your creations are wonderful. I love your fabric choice for this dress. It looks like the perfect dress for hot days and comfortable for a growing baby bump.
