I initially ruled this one out on account of impossible breastfeeding but I have breastpump weaned at work, and it has a Mad Men flair to it to make it magical. Nice! It does look easy to sew, so very important with little ones around. Toby is so big, it's incredible that that little person entered this world 6 months ago! My ginormous son also changed my figure to exactly the same as yours, although after 14mos my hips are down to the top of the size 40 range. Courage, it will come too. Increasing protein and proportionally decreasing on heavy starches helped.

Basics are basics for a reason...they allow you to use a multitude of pieces with them to give them character.
