We decided we wanted to vacation back home in California for our son's first birthday and while home I was going to have a baby shower. I was so excited to finally have a baby shower with family and close friends! I wanted to wear a cute dress, as I never really get to wear cute dresses! So, I saw this tutorial on pinterest on how to make a maxi dress. I altered the design a little, by installing an elastic "waist" line (more like above the bump line). I also made a "belt" to go around the seam of it all! I also added binding onto the sleeves and neck line.

I also forgot to mention I added a slit in the back to give me more room to walk! I already have no balance so I didn't want to give myself another reason to fall on my face! Notice that in the maxi dress tutorial she uses a tank top. I was going back in February so i was in need of a little more coverage, hence the white t-shirt. I also had these on hand as I am pregnant and needed new PJ shirts to sleep in.

Now get sewing,
