So I bought this dress on ebay

in July 2011 Moms

The seller is making it into a maternity dress for me and hemming it (I'm only 5'0). Now I'm panicking that it's going to look like a toga party costume or a huge table cloth (I'll be 9 months for the wedding).

    I have to admit the whole 1 sleeve thing is NMS.  That said I love the pattern and think it will look nice.

    I love it!  I totally see it with gladiator sandals and some super-dangley earrings.

    Can you not have her alter it and send it to you as is, and take it somewhere local for alterations, you might get a better vibe putting it on first

    Oh good, you did end up getting it!

    You'll pull it off for sure. You got style...and I remember a dress you wore last summer for a wedding I think (the green one?) I think it was one shoulder. It looked great on you!!

    because i have no idea what you look like, in my head you look like your jeanelle cartoon. I thought you should know.

     

    Also, Im sorry.

    I like it...I don't think it would look too toga-ish, as long as it fits right and is accessorized well. I think it takes a certain person to pull off a dress like that, but I'm guessing you can!

    I also really like the back-up.
