Every November in the community there is a Marine Ball. This is a very nice, formal dance. I would like to go!!! I've never had a nice formal 'prom' type dress (all my dresses were nice, mom, but they really weren't formal...not like the ones you made for Celeste!! No Fair!!! Want to make me one???) The biggest problem, though? I will be 8 months pregnant. Blah. NO ONE makes formal dresses for pregnant women. I suppose they think that pregnant women don't want to be seen in social functions, or something. Then, there's the other problem: A modest dress. So, you put the two together--a Modest Maternity Formal Gown, and you really have an impossibility. what a pain!!! So, my thought on this one-- They have some really fantastic tailors here. You can bring them a picture, and your measurements, and they will make what you ask! So, I've been searching for some nice modest formal dresses that could possibly be turned into nice modest formal maternity dresses.
Does anyone else out there know of any sites where they might have some pictures or ideas of modest 'prom' style dresses that could be made into maternity styles? Or better yet, actual maternity formal dresses?? I haven't really sat down to search. Does anyone have any opinions of the ones I found? Likes/dislikes? I have a little while to search, but not too long as I don't know how long it will take a tailor to make a dress like this. I want to have a good cushion of time.
On another completely unrelated thought: I just opened a bag of the most delicious Swedish Gingersnaps today (Pepparkakor). They are absolutely fabulous--and if anyone is a fan of any kind of ginger cookies, I HIGHLY recommend these! They're really nice for morning sickness as well...AND they are completely natural! They use wheat flour, freshly ground spices, beet sugars, and NO hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrups! They're actually made in Sweden, so they must be good for you! :P Just my little plug...
