Off the Shoulder Maternity Dress

This summer is all about exposing a little shoulders! I am definitely digging this trend and decided I needed an off the shouldres dress asap!
I had the perfect fabric for this dress that I had envisioned. I had bought this beautiful bright floral on black cotton jersey blend knit fabric from my favorite fabric store Girl Charlee.
Beautiful Nursery Furniture  
For the design I used my modified pattern from Simplicity 1358 the bodicon tank dress. I ommited the chunky straps making it a tank top. I drafted a rectangle to create the off the shoulder ruffle. I decided to add tiny spaghetti straps for extra support to avoid any slips. Another modification I made was legnthening it a bit. Since this fabric wasn't as stretchy as my previous ones I should have added 5/8" on each side for more wiggle room.
Sewing it was easy peezie, and just like that I had a brand new dress to add to my maternity collection!! I really loved the final product.
The only thing is, my baby bump is growing and I don't for see me wearing it too long. Considering that the fabric has limited stretch.
Here are a couple of picture of me rocking my off the shoulder dress. (Currently 31 weeks) I absolutely love it and wished I had sewn it before I started getting bigger.
I hope you enjoyed my latest maternity sewing project! Make sure to check back for another maternity DIY. This time it won't be a dress, you don't want to miss it!!

Women's Watches: Where to Shop for Unique Timepieces

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is slowly creeping up and I'm making sure to make the most out of it. As a mommy of two, I stop and stare at my two beautiful daughters I began to reminisce on the day they were both born. Oh such tiny little babies they were and all I can think is poof they've grown in a blink of an eye. I am soaking up every moment and making memories with them because I want them to always remember all the good TIMES we've experienced. Thanks to JORD on my wrist, it is a daily reminder to cherish my precious time. JORD is based in St. Louis.
