Dresses that have an elastic gathered fabric are one of my favorite items to wear when I’m expecting. Not only does this dress work when I’m not expecting, it stretches with me every step of the pregnancy and hugs the body in a way that is very fitting and flattering, not making me appear bigger than I am. This dress was custom tailored by Eshakti‘s, which is their specialty where every design you can customize to your own body size and styles such as length, neckline, and sleeves. And if you’ve noticed, I wear mainly dresses while I’m expecting because it is just so comfortable!
On another note, at church this past Sunday I passed by a fellow church member/neighbor and she says to me smiling and happily, “Oh my goodness, I almost didn’t even recognize you!” so I asked her, “What do you mean you almost didn’t recognize me?” and she said, “I’m just so used to seeing you skinny!”
SUPER CUTE!!! Blue yellow and white are the perfect summery combination! And I am such a sucker for stripes.
Oh and also, you look exactly the same to me… i don't know what that lady at church was thinking! the only difference I see is that cute little bump on your belly!! 🙂 I think you look great, fit, and beautiful.
you are adorable! I love this dress. and you are so skinny!! and beautiful!
Uh, you are still extremely tiny! A very cute pregnant woman! Embrace it, people always say (what's the word here…) "silly" things to pregnant women when all that should be said is, you look great, congratulations! That's all any pregnant woman needs to here. I am also pregnant with #3 and I just know I'm going to hear all kinds of "wonderful" comments which I will laugh off and carry on (literally). I know I am healthy and happy to be having another baby, and that's all that matters.
Wow that is a gorgeous dress, in your first pic you don't even look preggers, still so small 🙂
I only have a small bump, and mainly at the end of the day. Can't wait till it shows bigger. I'm a little impatient haha
You are effortlessly beautiful.
Wow! I wish I had your style these last 9 months. Lately I feel lucky if I even get out of my pajamas! Love the dress!
Me too! I am too obsessed with stripes I think. I try to restrain myself from buying too many striped clothes now. 🙂
You are so sweet, thank you Emma!
I totally agree, that's all you should say to a pregnant woman! And congrats on #3!!!
Haha, are you at that awkward stage where people can't really tell if it's just a belly or a baby? But don't you worry, your belly will get big soon enough! 😉
Aren't you sweet, thank you!
Oh trust me, I'm in my pajamas a lot of the days too! 🙂
Aww, thank you! You are so sweet.
