All the models on the Etsy shirt are much smaller than me! I could actually make this top myself, but I think it would be using the same exact pattern so its probably not worth the effort since I'm not skilled enough to solve pattern problems. There is another seller that makes a similar shirt (but it looks better chest-wise). The only problem is all her tops are on mannequins, not real people. I'll look for the Pinterest suggestions, thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-dress-for-maternity-photos#post-1637635 Thu, 15 May 2014 17:25:44 +0000 spaniellove 1637635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the overall concept of the other (Etsy) top better for photos, but not that exact one! I'm not sure if it's just the way it's fitting on the model but it's not so flattering on the chest. Overall though I think it shows off the bump better and maybe gives better proportions? I'm no expert though! </p> <p>And yay! You're doing the photos!</p> <p>ETA: I think there are suggestions online about how to coordinate - it wasn't until after our shoot that I saw my photographer's blog post about not matching! And there's something on Pinterest on how to choose color combos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-dress-for-maternity-photos#post-1637623 Thu, 15 May 2014 17:20:59 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1637623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-dress-for-maternity-photos#post-1637463 Thu, 15 May 2014 16:26:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1637463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found this top I love for my maternity photos, but I don't like any of the color options. The photos will be at dusk (golden hour to photo people). I was thinking red would look great, but I'm not finding another shirt that I love. I also like <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/120532115/teal-wrap-top?ref=favs_view_8">this one</a> from etsy, but prefer the flowy-ness of the other shirt (and this doesn't appear to come in red either). </p> <p>Any hints, or other suggestions? Also, what color pants do I wear with it? I'm a bit afraid of white... DH will be in jeans and some sort of button down that matches whatever I wear. </p> [attach=2137/14/n5mwwn.295x555.maternity-top-with-blouson-sleeves.jpg]
