    You are going to look great, and what a good job on the dresses, they are darling.

    Are those elizabeth Lee designs. Your dresses look like mine. I had a 5 children by birth and made my own dresses and those for the girls with matching styles and fabric. Sew cute!

    Good for you! Needing maternity clothes more than 50 years ago is what started my sewing career. I still feel so lucky to have had sewing as my comfort zone all these years, and especially during Covid.

    Those are all lovely. varied too. I had three dresses, A lined, meaning they were slightly larger at the bottom. no maternity. i don't know how i did it, undies and all. Don't remember. But those three dresses got me through. quit work early on.

    Yes! Two of them are. I love her designs! I found some uncut patterns on eBay and was thrilled to have some modest nursing dresses! I have started her nursing western dress and I know I'll love it once my baby bump is down. Hubby and I joke that I look like an 80's mom, but honestly I don't mind! Matching dresses with my daughters sounds like a wonderful idea! Maybe I'll do that for Easter.

    Cute dresses. I am the mom of 6 kids. I had lots of slacks and shorts but not many dresses.

    Very nice dresses and you certainly have been busy making a new maternity wardrobe. Congratulations on #4.
