Don't those "What not to wear" types always have a high-waist belt on people who naturally have a bit of tummy? :)<br /><br />Congratulations! I think the last time I had time to check in on your blog you were vehemently denying pregnancy, so perhaps that was just before you found out! I hope you have an easy run through the next few months!<br />~Sarah BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-50971959845594196612011-11-09T13:25:43.443+11:002011-11-09T13:25:43.443+11:00Great save!Great save!SEWNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447977771494445400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-2088932818437244902011-10-29T09:34:00.799+11:002011-10-29T09:34:00.799+11:00Oooh I'd definitely have ordered a Maternity S...Oooh I'd definitely have ordered a Maternity Spanx if I'd known of their existence! I had some dreadful varicose veins too, and ended up wearing the compression stockings but they were awfully hot and uncomfortable (especially during Summer). I hope they give you some reprieve and the rest of your pregnancy runs smoothly.<br />I love the belt on the dress!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276070221178771348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-7547313743769756592011-10-28T12:24:16.958+11:002011-10-28T12:24:16.958+11:00Your dress looks great and so do you.

Such nostalgia to see that pattern jacket again. Also, in pregnancy, the belt above the belly serves to define what is now the smallest part of your torso, so you don't appear to be just one large blob. :) I liked the tops and dresses that cinched in at this area when I was pregnant last year.Nicole of all tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980002785478937787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-21047065654459016122011-10-26T17:40:23.466+11:002011-10-26T17:40:23.466+11:00I love the fact that this dress has come together ...I love the fact that this dress has come together after 10 years - I like to think that it was waiting for the right moment to be finished!

I have found that any sort of compression stockings give your circulation such a boost especially if you are on your feet a lot, and what Mom isn't?? I never wore any compression stockings until I became ill and they were recommended for a long overseas flight to prevent blood clots. Now this type are *tight* you need to use kitchen rubber gloves to pull them on - seriously! But the lady who sold me them says all the ladies that work in the pharmacy that they run wear them every day because they keep your legs from getting tired so fast. Let us know how they make you feel! I just wish they weren't so hot on me.Connie (Grandma C)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-38357177322125503522011-10-26T12:56:24.267+11:002011-10-26T12:56:24.267+11:00You are looking lovely in your Glow!You are looking lovely in your Glow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
