open letter to the maternity "fashion" industry
Dear Maternity Clothes people,
I realize that this is completely irrational, but here's what I would like--clothes made specifically for MY pregnant body. I went dress shopping yesterday and because I have the biggest chest IN THE WORLD now, almost nothing fit. If it fit my body and belly, my boobs were smooshed down like I was wearing a sports bra 3 times to small. If the dress fit my boobs, the rest of it was like an ill-fitting tent. The dress I ended up with originally showed so much cleavage that I looked like a pregnant porn star, but it has now be modified with a few well-placed stitches and fashion tape.
what would be helpful is if you sold shirts and dresses by BRA size....you people could probably make a lot of money that way!
Sincerely,
big boobs mcgee
ps: just an fyi, pregnant women do not want shirts or sweaters with horizontal stripes. i mean really, I shouldn't have to tell you this...

Oh yeah? Try being plus size and pregnant!
Sucktacular.
When I was pg, absolutely everything had a bow on it somewhere. Because I wanted my belly or my butt to look like a present. (both of whom were pregnant, may I add. I'd take the boobs over the triple a$$ any day!)
Try finding pants as a petite, fat-thighed but small-bellied PG lady!
I feel your pain.
Maternity clothes suck. Period. I feel your boob pain - and in addition to the ginormous boobs, my belly is already HUGE and I feel like I'm carrying low, ergo all maternity pants EXCEPT the horrific full panel ones are falling down all the time. I am so ready to wear real clothes again!!!
Also - note to self 5 months ago - gaining 30 pounds in 5 months is not as much fun as it seems.
