It looks sort of high, so maybe? Hard to know though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888442 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 05:06:05 +0000 BandDmommy 1888442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: have you looked at more of me maternity clothes? They have some cute different stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888430 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:56:01 +0000 Purpledaisy 1888430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are super cute but I would probably go with a maternity dress. Personally, those would have been very unflattering on me while pregnant. Maternity clothes are made to look good on pregnant bodies. They also do not look very stretchy... You never know how much you're going to grow in a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888395 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 23:10:30 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1888395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute stuff! LOVE the 3rd one!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888288 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:50:51 +0000 tarabonno 1888288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have ordered from them before for a gala dress when I wasn't pregnant. It fit like a glove and is the most beautiful dress I own, probably. Not sure if that helps except that they make great dresses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888255 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:14:27 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1888255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be tough with the natural waist. I think empire waist would work but I don't know if retro style dresses really ever have empire waists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888242 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:02:41 +0000 MrsTal 1888242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I don't mind maternity but I want something like these, sort of a retro modern look and I can't find anything maternity like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888196 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:09:40 +0000 BandDmommy 1888196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you will want anything straight across your waist?? If you don't want maternity, how about a maxi dress? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888193 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:59:54 +0000 Orchid 1888193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they custom size, it could fit. When I was pregnant, I couldn't wear anything that cut straight across my waist (what waist??!!) or I'd look pretty comical. I'm very short though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888185 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:47:53 +0000 MrsTal 1888185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScottish: I'm 22 weeks. They do custom sizing, so I thought maybe if I did that it would fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888176 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:39:18 +0000 MrsScottish 1888176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? I am 36 weeks and I think the waist on those would not fit me at all!!! Anything below my bra band is to tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-i-make-one-of-these-work-as-a-maternity-dress#post-1888167 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:22:03 +0000 MrsTal 1888167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want a dress for my shower in a little over a month and I was thinking about ordering one of these from eshakti but I've never ordered from them before and I'm worried that none of them will work with my bump even with custom sizing.
