Megan Nielsen’s Rie top cropped in gingham
top: self-made with MN pattern pants: crane shoes: steve madden bow necklace: oasap
Oh how I miss crop tops, the don’t really hit the pregnant women in the right way. So this was my take on it and I LOVE how it turned out. I don’t even mind my belly sticking out a little. And I’m excited to wear it when I don’t have a belly. This was made from one of the lovely Megan Nielsen’s maternity patterns, the Rie dress or top. I just made it a little shorter and widened the neckline a bit. Thinking back to last pregnancy, I had given up by then. I would wear oversized tee shirts and black leggings or yoga pants everyday, looking like an old man with a quite the impressive gut. Man, was I attractive.

that’s really cute! my only concern is that it looks like it’s uncomfortably tight under the arms/across the chest – does the gathering prevent a deeper armscye?
Oh yes! First off, my chest is a lot bigger than I thought when cutting out the pattern, and I made it out of cotton. You are supposed to make it out of KNIT (stretchy comfy fabric), but I really wanted it in gingham. So….my advice…stick to the pattern’s suggested material and your current measurements :) Not the measurements of a month ago.
