Here's another version of the Simplicity "Threads" 3678 dress
I made this one about a month ago but didn't get a chance to take a picture. It's OK, not as flattering as the wrap dresses, but good if I'm feeling water-retention-y or bloated. Like today!!
Ah, the lovely sideways semi-maternity shot - you can tell I'm making smart alecky remarks to my photographer in this one:
Overall, a nice, comfy dress to throw on over my head and look reasonably pulled together. I've made this four times now and I think I'm finally done with it.
Cute! I love that fabric!

Ok, I'm adding my voice to the chorus. WHERE did you get that gorgeous fabric??? (Please say it was online, pleeeeease!)
And I'm going on record as saying that you made me buy this pattern. I traced it out and am going to remove the gathers.
Even semi-maternity is too much!

Great dress, very flattering cut! And wrinkle-free to boot, I bet.

what a lovely dress, I am off in search of that pattern, it looks great on you!

Oh, well, it was worth a try. The funny thing is, I'm making curtains for a friend with a fabric that has a similar print but a cream background. I thought it would be funny to make a garment.
But Denver Fabrics provided a lot of eye candy so thanks anyway!

Nothing maternity about it, you look fab!

Do you buy any of your own clothes anymore or do you make them all? :) More money for yarn if you make your own! LOL
Great dress. Love the fabric!

Looks good to me. I am particularly in favour of 'throw em over your head and go dresses' in the hot summer months. They're cooler

sexy!

This is so pretty! You're tiny already but this is really slimming!

It looks really good on you! Love the fabric

I really like this one, the fabric, drape and colour on you are all great. It's a winner. You look tiny, no evidence of maternity wear that I can see. Everytime I visit your blog it makes me want to learn to sew even more.

What a great dress! Robin, this pattern is up close and center on my sewing desk waiting for the right fabric. And I think I actually have it already--the green/black ITY print that was supposed to be for the McCall's maxi dress pattern. I just might switch it for this dress.

Great dress, Robin.
